Radio Ga Ga Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 As long as the Tories are wiped out up here. If the Exit Poll is correct and the SNP have lost 22 seats, I think you'll find it's the exact opposite and the Tories will have taken a good number of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Interesting exit poll. If the SNP has lost so many seats, hopefully they are to labour, even the odd Lib dem, and not the Tories. Not sure it really deflates the Indy ref 2 calls. May just make Sturgeon more reticent about holding it though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnrazor Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 It looks like Corbyn will be the only winner tonight, Tories not getting anywhere near the seats they expected and the SNP wrongly calling for an indyref2, but timing by the parties and thier advisors.

SwindonJambo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'd really love it if we beat them That's funny btw and very well done I'm stunned. Tbqh , May took the electorate for granted and has earned herself a well deserved slap in the face. I think she has to go. I have no time for Corbyn whatsoever but outside the festherbedded elite of society, people are pissed off with low or no wage increases and inflation impoverishing them while those at the top get inflation busting increases. People need an outlet to vent their spleen and Corbyn is picking up support from there. I'm far from impressed with his plans though. Fascinating election and it will be interesting to see the final figures. May is a lame duck and it's self inflicted and well deserved. I think a deal will be done with either the Lib Dems or Ulster Unionisfs to crawl over the line led by a New Tory Leader. And unfortunately Corbyn will remain in post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May will survive and lead untill after the next GE in four years, no one will want anther Leadership contest then another GE, heads will be kept down for a good while.

I'm pretty sure if, and it may still happen, the SNP were to only lose a couple of seats, keeping themselves in the 50 plus margin, The First Minister and her supporters would be saying it was a 'clear mandate for Indyref2', and we may have even heard/hear the, thrown in the dustbin for now saying of, 'The will of the Scottish people' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it really deflates the Indy ref 2 calls. May just make Sturgeon more reticent about holding it though! Mainly Labour, but according to the BBC the exit poll suggesting wins for the Conservatives in Berwickshire, Roxburgh & Selkirk, Dumfries & Galloway, Moray, Perth & North Perthshire and West Aberdeenshire & Kincardine. BBC just saying Dunbartonshire East and Edinburgh West could be heading for the LDs. Conservative gains predicted in Wales as well, including Wrexham and Newport East.
