UK General Election, 2017 - Election Day and Results Thread

[Kringla Heimsins]

Imagine if  the leaders in the world were:

USA: John Kasich
UK: David Cameron
Canada: Stephen Harper
France: Francois Fillion

Switch Kasich for Ted Cruz and I'm in.

The YouGov projection seems to be fairly accurate so far: https://twitter.com/MC_of_A/status/872949123892334592

Any chance of a Grand Coalition like in Germany?

I think I asked this same question in 2015 when the exit polls showed a minority government with the large loss of seats for the Liberal Democrats.

I have trouble imagining Corbyn and May in the same governement. Grand Coalitions are a uniquely german/nordic things, I think.

I'll add that the YouGov projection predicts a hung parliament. https://yougov.co.uk/uk-general-election-2017/

What? Except for Finland, Grand coalitions are extremely rare in the Nordic countries.  

My bad, I thought so.
I just checked and realized that Norway's current coalition is in fact a (classical) liberal/conservative coalition, not a broader coalition like I thought.
