What are you on about? One exit poll (which has already been proven to be not entirely right after 3 results) and according to you, Jeremy Corbyn has already become premier leader of the universe? Did you go to the Dianne Abbot school of maths or something?

more doubt on the exit pole,

'Election expert Peter Kellner says the Labour Party is very worried that outside London, the exit poll has not picked up postal voters that may have voted Conservative.'

time will tell, but looking at the results cons may still walk it yet, they are up across the board as far as votes go so it seems.

Turn out of young people is (by all accounts) way up

I never believe exit polls, in fact I think we should do away with them

Oh and don't put words in my mouth, there's no chance of Corbyn winning this election.

Not just me that said this by the way.

Andrew Rawnsley just made exactly the same comment, he even used the same 'revenge of...' comment. An hour after me, but he's a novice so I forgive him.

What a disaster, no one with major control, entering the EU negotiations. Nothing will get agreed.

As per Post 15

"I would be delighted if May got her comeuppance big time as she is on a course to wreck our future."

So well done to the youth of the country who got out and actually voted.

They voted for free tuition, that is what my daughter said they were all talking about at university. Myopic. They will be sorely disappointed when it doesn't appear.

Well that was about as bad as it could have been. Have to see how bad the market crash is today. Also put the brexit negotiation at risk as well. Well done to Labour but it's shafted us all.

Tidgy, imo what will happen is that the ftse100 will gain significantly.

not due to strength of the economy, but rather the weakness of the pound

Really am struggling to rationalise why or how 12.8million would support Corbyn and his wobbly entourage. Looking at the maps it's the usual sea of red in inner cities with tiny constituency areas (albeit high population). Not looked at the swing but I guess most of the swing to Labour was in London?

Would like to see a Brexit In/out and Lab/con overlay map to see if there is any correlation.

SNP losses left me bemused, as I've said before methinks Miss Crankie is not as popular as she thought. Although how a mere 900,000 votes get 30+ seats is further proof of the skew in proportional representation for English voters.

Yep this is where the financial sectors make their money. Ironic for me as I have managed portfolios that have done very very well post brexit, but at the same time I want to buy some considerably expensive parts from the USA and weak £ vs strong $ means where I've gained in one area I've lost in another.

£1.27 for €1 at the mo, I expect it to worsen again when trading opens.

The way I see the early analysis

Lib Dems were warned that their anti Brexit position is not welcome with Farron lucky , Clegg deselected, Olney deselected. The moderate libdem re elected. Conservatives position not really changed overall though even their vote share rose Labour were biggest winners with young voting for free education, more police, and health, pension protection.

Theresa May has said she's definitely not resigning, so expect her to be out by the end of the day.

We'll still have the refugee/asylum/economic migrant issues. The feckless and the lazy will still milk as many benefits as possible regardless of what he/she can/can't get. The elderly will still be neglected when care is required. Mental health issues will still be swept under the carpet as an inconvenient obligation. House prices will still increase, whilst council home will remain in shortage. Crime at all levels will not decrease. Prisons will still be unable cope. Courts will still give skewed punishments to public opinion. Police numbers will still be insufficient and the remaining beat officers get fatter and more apathetic. We'll still have a failing overcapacity transport infrastructure, our power infrastructure issues will still remain unresolved. London centric policies will still preside over the whole of England (and UK).

And being a forum for motorist enthusiasts we will still be persecuted for driving a car for pleasure, or choose a vehicle that doesn't conform to the lastest legislative whim (and if you are happy and agree with this, get the f**k out of this forum! LOL ).

Or in short; Same old shyte
