The 2017 General Election campaign

[Pickman's model]

Reports of naked voter suppression are kind of depressing, but they show one thing - that tories or those acting on their behalf are worried they won't win this thing.

Still thinking that a hung parliament is possible. I shall continue to think this for at least another 85 minutes.

Either that or the council's crap

 

[Vintage Paw]

Either that or the council's crap

The latter is far more likely.

I mean, councils are a bit shit anyway. But round here it's certainly the case. In the EU Ref there were shenanigans too I seem to remember.

Just finished door knocking in Notts - reported 85% student turnout!!

Probably exceeds attendance at lectures

 

[taffboy gwyrdd]

I really think that if there is a narrow tory majority we are embarking on the most widely detested government for generations.

Apparently Newcastle's got up-to-date lists now. Not sure how many will have given up and won't be checking online or whatever though.

Gah. There were 650 votes in it last time ffs.

 

[Who PhD]

I was going to tell you what the Sentinal says, but you already know.

Anger as residents claim they are being denied vote after delay

So, who's feeling optimistic then? Could do with a counterbalance.

My bet's coming in. Lab minority ftfw

I'm resolutely refusing to feel pessimistic. The vote today is included in tomorrow's fight! Rather than any particular result, I'm focusing on that (especially as I see, in certain "good results" the potential for a lot of the movement that's been committed the last few week) to go back to sleeping under a palm tree).

Only 6/1 now for a labour win. Tories are 1/16

I seeing a lot of reports of exceptionally high turnouts. Certainly more optimistic now than I was earlier on.

6/1 for a minority? That's dropped from 10's this morning!

Having said all of that, friend of mine shared "A change is gonna come" on FB. I shared it myself but feck, I keep thinking Barack Obama. He's succeeded in ruining the song for me (I keep having to remind myself it was Seal's version.... he's succeeded in ruining Seal for me)

 

[sealion]

6/1 for a minority?

Yes mate. Seems to be shortening all the time.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Yes mate. Seems to be shortening all the time.

Still 10's with PaddyPower, though hung parliament has dropped to 4/1

 

[binka]

Fingers crossed for a minority government of any description so we can do this all again in six months time

 

[sealion]

Still 10's with PaddyPower, though hung parliament has dropped to 4/1

There seems to be several markets on the go.
Labour minority now at to 16/1
Tory minority now at 12/1
Tory majority now at 2/11
Hung (they should all be ) parliament now at 6/1

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Lab majority 16/1 surely?

 

[sealion]

Lab majority 16/1 surely?

Lab majority 16/1 surely?

22/1

 

[cantsin]

Spreads saying 30 Tory gains, others saying 9% gap = 35% Lab = strong result

 

[magneze]

Oh fuck here we go.

 

[emanymton]

Here we go.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Holy shit - no overall majority.

Ah fuck, it's gonna be a long night!

 

[emanymton]

What. YES!!

 

[agricola]

Oh great, I have to be in work at half six in the morning.

 

[Calamity1971]

Wahey. Oh god please

Shy Tories?
