Ukip will be finished Iam sure of.

Greens will keep the one seat they had .

Liberals will  have less seats than a citeron berlingo .

SNP they will have minus seats ,but will still be in office up there.

Labour this lot should have asked Abbott to stand down ages ago not the day before the election and taken a few other idiots with her.
They will close the gap between red and blue but not by enough.

Tory unless they have a car crash today Abbott style they will be at No10 via a lesser seats totall ,to which in true politician style they will stand firm when saying that they had best ever election ever etc etc.

While Labour will spout off that the polls were a lot more close than the land slide predicted and demand a new election asap.

If that is the case, given that the only reason given for calling a snap election was to strengthen their hand in Brexit negotiations(!), the whole thing would have been a complete and unnecessary waste of time and May should fall on her sword for getting it so wrong. Not that I'd hold my breath!

I don't really see what you are trying to say for a change fella.

Voters see the Tory and Labour policys then vote simple as ,and one with most votes gets in should it
be via a landslide or just getting over the line with a narrow victory.

A win is a win

Their hand, Their hand? Theresa Maybe will somehow reduce what should've been over a 100 seat win into something just less than an 80 seat majority,then again i could be Billy Stubbs and say no party will have an overall majority,just as in the last election,he's another one of the experts

I think Labour's chances just got a whole lot better with news that Dianne Abbott has stood aside for 'health' reasons....!

Which is probably why Corbin sent her home and told her to say she is poorly.
Who appointed her anyway?

Well, we all make mastikes...

It's having the sense to recognise them and do something about it that is more important.

Yes, apparently Labour are the only party ever to do a U-turn in the history of politics

Labour would certainly call that a u turn. Or about the other 50 things they've criticised people for.

I do actually believe she's ill. Yes she's terrible but she looked ill aswell.

By all accounts some nerd hacked into her private email account yesterday making out he was the Labour Party spin doctor .

They was on the subject of her putting a sick day in yesterday after her latest car crash interview .

This nerd \labour spin doctor said she should add more to her sick nite with a made up add on of previous health conditions thag have flared up basically .

The false spin doctor claimed that corbyn gave them full backing to do so during the intereaction with Abbott.

It don't go down very well when you think that she has a shadow position at the Labour Party .just think of the situation this could have caused to national security if it had happened if labour were in at number 10.

Now I don't know if this her been really fcuking stupid or just unlucky when this nerd got into her private email.

As I predicterised 6 weeks ago, once people got to see more of Corbyn and actually listened to what he has to offer then the more support he has got.
He is appearing more and more comfortable and relaxed while Mother Teresa looks increasingly rattled and petulant.

Whatever happens tomorrow; and I expect a Tory victory, JC can be rightly proud of the campaign he has had.

Funny though that some people make a massive fuss about another party making U turns but not when their own preference does one.

How can you be proud of the campaign you had if you should lose ?

I don't get it it sounds all Irish

Lost/lose/defeat/2nd place in a two horse race all = fail,no matter how it's dressed up.

What I'm getting at is that May called this election because apparently the majority they had wasn't big enough. If they end up with about the same, what's she going to do - call yet another election because she still needs a bigger majority?

Yep - I would not hold your breath !

Mrs U Turn (no Election necessary - oops I called one anyway) would look less than "strong and stable" if after all this expense and clap trap led to almost exactly what she/they had

Hopefully they will have lesser majority than they did - even better if the others could form a Government leaving May O-U-T !. Hopefully then the Rainbow Govt could finally do the decent thing and propose AND deliver some better electoral system than the s**t one we are saddled with

Yeah, just like all the pollsters, who also predicted no majority, got it badly wrong. They ARE the experts and they f**ked up. So why don't you stop with the personal digs at someone who's no longer on here.

FWIW I predict a Tory majority, that's the only statistic that matters. Won't be a big one, mind.

I believe that the main issue for May was all of those people who keep pointing out that she wasn't voted in as pm.  The timing arose where an increased majority looked likely as well, but I'm not convinced that was the reason in itself

Thing is. We don't directly elect a Prime Minister. So it's b*llocks to say a Prime Minister wasn't elected - because none of them are, in a sense, as we don't vote directly on who will be the next leader of our country.

We don't vote directly but there's a difference between holding an election where you know if a certain party wins, who will be PM, and TM's becoming PM.

But even so, if you vote "for Corbyn" as some probably think they are doing, but you live in a constituency where there's a f**king whopping Tory majority, it'll make f**k all difference, unless of course enough people vote the same way.

In either case, you're voting for a member of your chosen party to hopefully represent you in Parliament, not who you want to be Prime Minister, even though a lot of people for some reason seem to think that's how it works.

Anyway she's been a good MP and is very approachable. 5 more years for her.

As it's been pointed out a couple of months back Torys was way out in front ,and if we belive the polls today it will end up with a Tory win but much closer than a couple of months ago.

So I have to ask this again why could Labour not have sorted its inside issues out with the wrong personal on the staff etc etc.

I wonder how many more  voters Labour could have got if likes of Abbott and a couple more had been outed sometime back.

Suppose it's the amount of votes they would have got but the amount of votes they have lost within the Labour party with  likes of Abbott on board.

I actually believe the Sinn Fein result in Northern Ireland may just get Corbyn over the line for No. 10 - ironic considering the biggest attacking point from the right wing media would ultimately deliver him his result.
