UK General Election, 2017 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Baki]

Will there be any official reports on turnout numbers or is that not the practice in the UK?

Is there a good place for a map?

I'll be looking at that one.

It's not the prettiest, but seems to have quite a lot of data once the results start coming in.

How many hours left until results start rolling in?

Polls close in an hour and Sunderland South will probably declare close to 11 pm their time.

Is sunderland south an important one or just a place with a late closing time

It has the same closing time as all other seats, but is quick to report. It's a safe Labour seat I believe.

BBC now saying that if the difference between the exit poll and the real results holds up countrywide, Torys might still have a shot at a huge majority.

The exit poll had the Torys winning it.

LABOUR HOLD WREXHAM

The exit poll had the Torys taking it.

This election is all over the place.

The exit poll looked like a catastrophy for May.
Then we had a couple of results that showed it wouldn't be a total disaster for her.
Now it looks like quite a good night for Labour.

Very interesting.

The national swing is now 1.4% from Con to Lab.

[Baki]

Tories gain Alex salmond seat
wow just wow

The exit poll actually had that as a prediction.

[Baki]

BBC has revised its projection: Conservatives 318, Lab 267, SNP 32, LD 11, PC 3, Green 1. 8 short of a majority.

That's the best forecast of the night for Labour.
