Has Boris won a majority? - Election 2019 | BBC

The Conservatives are set to win an overall majority of 86 in the general election, according to an exit poll for the BBC, ITV and Sky News.

The survey taken at UK polling stations suggests the Tories will get 368 MPs - 50 more than at the 2017 election - when all the results have been counted.

Labour would get 191, the Lib Dems 13, the Brexit Party none and the SNP 55.
The Green Party will still have one MP and Plaid Cymru will lose one seat for a total of three, the survey suggests.

The first general election results are due before midnight, with the final total expected to be known by Friday lunchtime.

The time when people realise that Twitter and Islington do NOT represent the United Kingdom.

Saw this coming. So many people think they have their finger on the pulse of society, but they are completely blind to people who dont share their views.

That exit poll was remarkably accurate:
Tory: 368 got 365
Labour: 191 got 203
LibDems: 13 got 11
SNP: 55 got 48

From this to Blair-like landslide. Damn 5 years went too fast.

Did anyone sense a mixture suspense and hype. Why is this so exciting.

I'm re-watching this in 2024. 'We've just lived through some turbulent times' (2015-2019). 2020-2024 'Hold my beer'.

The silent majority has once again crushed the dreams and hopes of the screaming minority...

Love how the BBC is accused of being both Left Wing and Tory biased in the same comment section.

"Tipping the conservatives into government for more than a decade"

I'm going to love watching the biased media trying not to show how utterly seething they are over the coming weeks.

I punched the air at 10.00pm. That five minute countdown felt like a decade.

And finally the referendum of three years ago will be carried out. This was all completely unnecessary if the politicians had carried out the will of people as they were bound to do. Personal views have no place in parliament, you are there to carry out the will of your constituents.
