Source: Exit poll completely at odds with polling in Scotland. It has the Tories on 12 seats - massive - and winning seats they were no were close to in polling. Very weird.
 
Bigger collapse: Tories in the general election or Houston in the NBA simulation thread?
 
The 1997 exit poll also said 410 for Lab so it’s definitely possible.
Possible but since 2010 there's only been a few seats difference between exit polls and actual results I believe. Exit polls are a lot more accurate now.
 
Something never asked, why did Rishi call for a snap election? Could have continued being PM for another half a year, and it was virtually certain that Tories will get demolished now.

Internal projections would have predicted it would be far worse to call in the winter. Likely predicted more economic stagnation, much more boat crossings in summer, trying to catch Reform on the back foot, etc.
 
Shapps losing his seat would be...

They were going to remove him. He was probably sick of being PM and leading an ungovernable party.

The longer he left it the worse it was going to get.
