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

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!

Hopefully it's worse than even the exit polls suggest. Conservative/SNP coalition?

The ignominy of Scottish seats propping up a Tory government.

Glenfiddich Rich Oak for me.

 

Im going to get wasted.     You persuaded me to vote SNP.

 

Then you say I should have voted Tory because a Tory landslide is best.

 

Now I get neither.

 

Now Nicola has to proceed with Indy2 with dwindling support.

The only reason the Tories are doing well is because Nicola bloody called Indy2.   Otherwise they would be wiped out.

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.

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 :(

Och well.  I have 50 quid on the Tories winning Aberdeen South and also I got a gam.

 

But what will Nicola do now?   Go ahead with Indy2 regardless?

Is it really important how many SNP seats there are in Westminster? (As long as it's not Tories that replace them).

Long night ahead but Brexit talks start in next 9 days or something.

Everything could change.

But its because Nicola called Indy2 that the Tories are getting them.   She needs a slap.

It's not that vital. As you say, the vital thing is where they go. It could transpire that a very small number go Tory and get them to crawl over the line.

So, after a poor campaign by May, and the gamble not paying off, will she resign to be replaced by another 'un-elected PM'...........and round and round we go!!

That would be proper mental Boris! But nothing would shock me now. I think there may well be a few more surprises to come yet.

SNP could fare a bit better than 34 and lose none to the Tories, maybe meaning this could be even more catastrophic for May.

Could mean another GE not that long down the road .

I don't think so, I think the Tories will lick thier wounds for as long as possible, don't think they'll go near anothe GE with a barge pole!!!! 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'

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.

Wouldn't she be a busted flush, Dawn?

She maybe, but I think another leadership contest and another GE is what nobody wants now, better off with her than the upset I feel.

Only 10 polling stations in Scotland going towards the exit poll. 34 could be off by a bit.

I think but could be wrong the samples for the Scottish exit polls are taken from 10 seats ,so their could be variation in different areas .

Looks like a lot of squeaky bums and close calls .

Agree with both of these posts. It's going to be chaos. Before my time as I was only 7 but we had 2 6 months apart in 1974 which I'm sure some older posters remember well.

Or a lot.

 

It's predicting 15 Conservative seats in Scotland.

 

John Curtice reminding people that the 2015 exit poll underestimated the Tory seat haul by 15.

Looking like tactical voting in places like Perth helping the Tory party and Moray .

But SNP favorite to hold Banf and Buchan

 

But again lots of tight calls .

Amber Rudd apparently "in trouble" in Hastings and Rye. So we might be getting a new Home Secretary. She got a rough time at her hustings the other night.

If exit polls are correct if even close that's the end of nippy nic and the Indy movement.

 

Will they accept the result? Not a chance, they'll be in George Square tomorrow with their braveheart battle paint screaming for a GE2017.2
