Agreed. The only people who have a good idea of where things are heading right now are the exit poll team. They're based in a secret location and cannot divulge any data or info until just before 10pm.

He goes dogging there, for the many not the few.
I was torn between voting Labour or the Tories, so in the end I voted for the Nazi’s.
It’s called tactical voting.
Blitzkrieg
210 minutes to exit poll!
The thread title makes me laugh. My intention was to vote Tory, but have stayed home. Shapps is safer than a nun's hymen.
You sir are a gent.
I hope the Tories get a majority just because you bought that travesty.
With dip?
Anybody care to call the result?
I'll go with 341 Tory seats. Narrow majority.

The only good Tory is one that just stays at home because it’s cold outside.
It was a pain in the bum to do it quite honestly, but we had no other choice as we don't have anyone near our old address who we could have asked to be a proxy.
Betting companies rarely get results right when it comes to Elections.
Hopefully not the last laugh of the evening
Surely hot chilli?
Yeah small majority for Johnson I think.
Parliament will go back into deadlock when the EU tells us what it wants in return for a free trade deal. Then another election probably.

Good choice!
what if he loses by 1 vote
Sadly most of my family trotted out and voted for him, general vibe I've got in the town is nobody likes Johnson but they hate Corbyn.
Can't believe you chose the Tories!
Said the nun to the priest.
Wtf are they actually shutting themselves? Why am I doing this up myself?!
Fearmongering, it is their go to tactic.
There are still people betting against a conservative majority. Odds have moved again in the last hour or two, from 4/9 on to 4/7 on. So it's still the favourite, but not by as large a margin.
What are the bookies odds for United to sign Gaitan?
I have to disagree. Email your council and they’ll send you an application form, post that back, get postal voting pack , fill it out and post that back. You can opt to postal vote on all upcoming elections of all types until further notice on the application form too.
Voted Lib Dem
My sister got a Tory email. I know Owen Jones tweet a similar email.
XXXXXXX – our teams on the ground are reporting a high Labour turnout. So have you voted yet? Have your friends and family?
Tomorrow morning, the leader of the country will walk into No10 and put their policies into action.
That leader will either be me – or Jeremy Corbyn.
And right now, the only thing standing between Jeremy Corbyn and Downing Street is you.
So have you voted yet? Have your Conservative friends and family?
This election will come down to a handful of votes. So make sure you get out and vote Conservative!
We’ve only got a few more hours to secure a majority government. It’s all down to you.
Yours sincerely,
Boris Johnson
Prime Minister
They'd be sending it regardless, doesn't mean it isn't also true though.
Boris gets a small majority. There's a couple of years of failed negotiations with the EU. Another enforced early election. Electable Labour labour next time around. Seems pretty clear to me that outcome would be the fastest possible way for Labour to achieve meaningful power.
A hung parliament is like a small victory but losing the war. Because you can bet watching a Lib Dem/SNP/Labour coalition try to function will push a lot of votes onto the Tories at the next, inevitable, 2020 GE.

I think I remember reading similar in previous elections. Just a tactic from them.
How long now?
Could the conservatives be betting on labour to scaremonger their supporters? Or is that illegal (and way too tinfoil hat)?
188!
The exit polls weren’t very accurate last election were they?
Even if it was I doubt it'd stop them.
I asked Paddy Power and he said Gaitan's nearly 32, don't be stupid. Unless we get van Gaal back, he might.
