Wow.
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
I haven't even finished work yet but i am an odd mix of nervous and excited.
SNP / Labour / Lib Dem coalition. Put money on it.
For the love of God, vote Labour.
That was my point
Would an SNP coalition stop the IndyRef2 talk?
I'm not going to comment on the rest because they are your views but what I can offer, from my experience in the NHS, is that the above is a poor and flawed judgment on the situation. It certainly isn't "sensible".
Waiting times in A&E, waiting times to be seen after your referral, operation cancellations, available beds, nursing and doctor staffing and many, many more critical aspects are at their worst levels in most of our lifetimes across the board.
The NHS will forever need more funding, it's the nature of the beast. The older we live, the more reliance we have on the service and the more expense we therefore require. But to dismiss the Conservatives actions and decision making on the way to this crisis is an inherently flawed judgment that requires people to speak against that.
Nobody is saying Labour will get it right but they're promising to do a damn sight more in trying to fix things than any recent Conservative government has.
I suspect you'll be the first person to criticise the NHS when they can't deal with a problem that you will inevitably have in life at some point. Instead of getting angry at the staff, the process and the results, remember that you voted to maintain the status quo and against a party trying to lead on accountable change and improvement.

The electoral models online are all crap... they seem to have the Lib Dems getting 2-4 seats.
I'm desperately trying to work out what to put into my work sweepstake. None of them look like any help.

I dont believe a country that voted for Brexit will go anything but Tory unfortunately. Not getting my hopes up
This. England is more right wing than David Beckham. Tory landslide.
I don't think il be staying up all night, il wait til the exit polls are released and if the outcome looks bleak then I'm off to sleep.
What time are early exit polls incoming?
This.
Yup, the OAP's to rule again.
36 years since I bought it and there's still not a single word out of place
Oh good just seen my first status of the day about there only being pencils to vote with. Ffs.
Couple of interesting things from Jim Waterson (tweet it's linking in second one is the first one if that makes sense):
Have any non-left media taken an interest in these sorts of stories? Seems like something that needs to change, but won't until there's wider media interest. Tough.
Voted. Pissing it down here though. Was the same in 2015.
Come on you Reds!!!
10pm. As soon as polls close.
Tories will shut the loop hole when they use it to win the election. They won't like the fact the party with the richest donors can use it to their advantage.
Oh wait.
I just can't stand any candidate. I think this is called getting old.
I just went on my fb. Fist political status I saw was someone sharing a vid with Piers Morgans saying "Agree with Piers, if you don't like how we live then feck off back where you from"
I wish Facebook had a filter to filter everyone's political ramblings. Thoughrougly fed up of it from both sides.

Oh not this again. fecking hell.
Should have closed all drinking establishments last night -- have all telcos auto-set mobile phones to have an alarm set for 8am to ensure most people vote -- you know who you are!

Typical.
Skirting the edge of electoral fraud and prominently featuring Dianne Abbott
I went to bed in June 2015 hearing from the final poll that there would be no Tory majority and June 2016 hearing we would be staying in the EU.
Polling is definitely broken when ICM have a 12 point Conservative lead and Survation a <1 point lead
I wish they'd bring back entrails and tea leaves. Would be more fun to watch on the news.

Can someone recommend a reliable poll tracker for my ward?
Anyone voting for Greg Knight is what i want to know?!?
I'm so glad I ditched LifeInvader.Voted. xo
Come on now, it's not like people become less stupid just because there's an election on.
My guess is a big Tory majority as youth once again fails to turn out. Tories >370
Everyone should vote, and everyone should enter our prediction competition here: https://goo.gl/forms/zY8rC7n5ZTIuG3PI2
Closes at 5pm, and I will give a link to everyone's prediction after it closes.

I've just done the school run and it's unbelievable what I've heard this morning. One woman who I know who relies on top up from the gift has said Tories will protect her benefits so she won't have to do more hours. I burst out laughing
Wouldn't call 370 a big majority. But I am going with 27.
Poor deluded people
