I registered for postal vote to avoid potential difficulties, so when they gave us 24 hrs notice that they were going to close my daughter's school due to concerns about safety (the poling station is there) I was doubly pissed off.

Thanks for link to that site btw, never seen it. Don't have a view on rest of content yet but have read one other article which makes me think it might be a good one:

https://www.opendemocracy.net/uk/jeremy-gilbert/forty-years-of-failure-how-to-challenge-narrative-of-hard-brexit

This is a good one too.

A very good read. I will work my way through the associated links later. Ta.

Exit polls - possible hung parliament
No overall majority.
The best of all worlds?
Tories can carry the can.
Casualties across the board

[Oldmanmatt]

Come on! The (not very) Independent ran two stories in less than an hour, one claiming everyone had vastly underestimated the "Shy Tory" vote and a landslide was imminent and then jumped on the Exit poll wagon 35 minutes later...
See you in the morning.
Will it be coffee and a wry grin, or a shot of Vodka and back to bed for five years?

I'm preferring ITVs coverage to BBC, if only to enjoy watching Osborne eviscerating TM.

Second thing I've enjoyed has been Gary Lineakers tweet

Breakfast means breakfast.
May will be waking up to a cold breakfast
Good to see tories with egg on their face.
Bozzer the next PM?
Ah Brexit, what's that.

[SamT]

Well well well.. first time I've woken up on an election morning in a good mood!

I might post this question here as well:

For free and fair elections I tend to use the uninformed prior: i.e. that the outcome is 50/50, but that this can be updated closer to the election as people prepare themselves for voting and polling improves. Can someone explain why everyone is so sure that this election is very lopsided in favour of the tories? The voters have had 0 days to make up their mind so far.

Give people time, and they might change their opinion.

Same here - went to bed at 11 trying to be pessimistic. Just picked up a series of increasingly delighted messages from my dad who evidently went to bed an hour ago . . .

[Oldmanmatt]

Yes!

I just came here to congratulate you on this post, but I see you've done it for me.

Give people a second re-run election, they might even change their opinion again.

Whilst there are elements of relief in this result, the trajectory for exiting the EU looks ominous. I suspect the history books will judge the Tory administration since 2010 very harshly.

So, predictions? Con and DUP coalition, led by... Gove? Lots of confused first time voters who have been celebrating Corbyn's 'win'. Warm words from Cons about being more centrist, little action. How along til the next election? I can't see another one now achieving much different.

Good news, even Farage is talking about a second referendum. I think I prefer the real Brexit car crash to happen with the Tories at the wheel.

Yes, shooting yourself in the foot once (EU referendum) could be seen as unfortunate. Doing so again on the eve of the Brexit negotiations is incompetence.

Smug and self-satisfied, that's me.

[Oldmanmatt]

You couldn't make it up if you tried.
Then:
May: "Beware the Terrorist sympathisers !! Panic! Panic!"

Now:

Wants to form coalition with actual political wing of Terrorist organisation (it's ok though, they're "Loyalist" Terrorists, the nice kind).
