do they do that Olympic medal style coronation ceremony for every riding/constituency? that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen

Yeah.

Yes, they do, but they don't necessarily show it on TV. It's even been spoofed in Monty Python. They used to not announce the party and the announcer would say it in the gaps.

Another exit poll:

Conservatives - 305
Labour - 255
Liberal Democrats - 61
Other - 29

[Phony Moderate]

The Tories are now projected to win 305 seats, and the Lib Dems are projected to win 61 seats. Labour and the Others are still the same.

Oh angry British men.

They'd never have this in Canada since nobody cares to vote anymore.

[Verily]

btw, I hope George Galloway is on the telly tonight.

When does Poplar and Limehouse declare? We'll get to see him then.

Guys, I pointed out the changed exit poll like three pages back. No one noticed, I guess.

Yeah, i started watching the 1979 election coverage on Youtube and i was wondering what the hell that was

Birmingham Edgbaston expected next... Expected Tory gain.

Canadian turnout in recent elections has been near the historic average since 1935.

Sorry - I thought it was a different one.  Why did they "revise" an exit poll?

Remember, Rachel Carson's 1962 Silent Spring book set off the environmental movement. I got that question wrong on 3 straight practice tests AND it was on my actual test.

As the presenter said, "Oh well, we seem to have lost that."
