UK Election Night Discussion.

[Red Velvet]

An independent Unionist (Alex Easton - ex DUP) picked up North Down from Alliance.

Yeah, he’s the 5th independent to win today and the 1st who’s not a leftist (3 were Gaza Independents and 1 was Jeremy Corbyn)

[100% pro-choice no matter what]

Kim Leadbeater wins comfortably, Gaza independent only gets 1500 or so votes- did most of the Muslim population get put in the new Dewsbury seat?

DUP hold Belfast East with a slight swing away from Alliance.

[Skye]

The DUP holds Belfast East.

BBC reporting that Liz Trusses seat is on the knife-edge.

[Whale Psychiatrist]

Surely the Tories can’t pick up HALF of the remaining 150 undeclared seats? Seems a heavy lift, even if the later results favor them.

Libdems are maxed out and Reform is spent. It's a two-horse race going forward.

[MillennialModerate]

126 seats left

Labour at 362
Conservative at 82

Meaning Tories likely to win more than half of remaining seats

Great night for Unionism!

[axiomsofdominion]

Labour vote share just absolutely in the gutter currently. They better hope some high turnout, high margin seats are still out.

That isn't worth much when the Tories blame their loss on Farage and on their government somehow being woke liberals.

[Calgacus]

Yeah, it looks like the Lib Dems are likely to overperform at the expense of the Tories

overperform the exit poll?

Yeah

Do you think Nigel' take over?

BBC reporting that Liz Trusses seat is on the knife-edge.

We've already been waiting most of a percent of a Truss Prime Ministership for them to count that one.

Revised BBC numbers

[#UnbanTender]

DUP holds off Alliance's challenge in Belfast East.

[Torrain]

[Horus]

"he looks like john oliver cosplaying as john oliver cosplaying as the monopoly man" - my non-UK politics following friend after I showed them a picture of JRM with a top hat (you know the one).

[Oryxslayer]

Independent (DUP backed Unionist) knocks Alliance out of north down. DUP hold belfast east. Alliance still on one off disgust.

 Sad.

[MillennialModerate]

BBC FORECAST UPDATE:

Labour 408
Conservative 136
Liberal Democrats 66
SNP 8
Reform 4

[Cassius]

Labour almost certain to underperform the vote share that they got in their last general election win, 2005. Let’s see if they drop below 35%.
