How many seats were labour expected to get before the election?
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
Love seeing the rush to declare in the background.
Where are they getting this?
like, 7 or something
Just a prediction based on that exit poll
I seem to recall the Tories outperforming even the shock exit polls last time? Not getting my hopes up

No if it's that close we wont know by then but we will know that it is tight.
Have you followed the campaign at all? I could've done a better job when i was 14.
One thing I've always wondered. Lets say Cons get a majority, but labour win the seat in May's location, what happens?
They'd have to pick a new leader.
Worst possible result if it's anything like correct.
Even Commie Corbyn being able to hang himself with his lunatic policies is better than this.

Everyone is getting giddy but the exit polls were wrong in 15 & 16.
Will still be an overall majority for the Tories, I think. However we can enjoy the pleasure of the Tories shitting it for the time being.
Below 200 probably.
Theresa May is going to look silly regardless of how this pans out. No way they increase their seats from here.
That's hilarious...ThanksI'm really hoping they've overcorrected since last years predictions.
The party with the most seats - the Tories most likely - have first option of trying to form a government. If they can't, Labour has the second option. If no agreement is reached I think there'd have to be another electon in October.
But not this wrong. Even if we give the Cons a better than expected performance based on this poll, they'll just scrape a majority. That's a Tory failure and a Labour win.
So how come nobody wanted to be PM post Cameron resignation? Boris and Nigel jumped ship the very next week iirc. Brexiters had a chance to take lead and you fecked up. Simple as.
Here we fecking go here we fecking gooo
Fallon on BBC still just talking soundbites ffs
I'm not sure that's true. If the tories had more seats but SNP+Labour had enough seats to form a majority they wouldn't even bother.
I never realised it worked like, I suppose by default if Labour have chats in the background and manage it then Cons will fail in their attempt.
Tories will still be in power and we will still Brexit.
No. If he said they would form a coalition before the vote, then people who might vote labour in Scotland wouldn't bother and they could lose seats.
Really hope the Balirites don't feck over Corbyn if the Tories scrape it. He's brought them closer to government than they've been in 7 years.
I'm not even over the Labour party side of things if this is accurate.
Blairism is dead. There will be no funeral, apart from the thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan. Flowers to be shoved up John McTernan's arse.

Expecting the exit to be wrong and for the Tories to be able to form a majority but even with that, its still an amazing performance from Labour.
The future is ours.
The future is ours.
ANYTHING COULD STILL HAPPEN
Thanks for explaining it.
Not that much wrong. Being out by 20 seats is pretty good. If its the same this time around and Conservatives end up on around 340 seats then the snap election will have been pretty pointless, just barely increasing their majority.
Well feck me boys! Well done to the Corbynistas!!! Hope you all have a great night, speak in the morning xxx
If he doesn't step down he'll crush them again in a leadership challenge.
Yeah, much better than Miliband and Brown.
Brexit is happening either way.
