Tories cross 326 seats for an overall majority

South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
Projected to win 52 seats at this point in time.
Unlikely that Boris will allow them a Scexit vote though
As much as I like to see politicians held to their word, I will give Ruth Davidson a pass on her promise. Nessie will be pretty upset seeing a naked whale swimming in her waters

What did the tactical voting site say about it?All those tactical voting sites...basically a complete fail.
Best indicator of that is Chipping Barnet, a outer London constituency I expected Labour to GAIN.
It's a Remain constituency with an ERG (arch-Brexiteer) MP.
Actual result?

So the tactical voting site was not actually a fail. It's the people who didn't vote tactically that done farked up.Vote Labour. She was defending a majority of ~350 IIRC.
They have just reduced their Corbyn footprint...I am happy that Corbyn is going. Maybe the UK just move on now.
Such a dad joke!!!They have just reduced their Corbyn footprint...
Not that bad an election. They increased their vote % by over 4% . To put that in context, the Conservatives only increased theirs by 1.2%3 seats left: 2 are solid Tory (Northamptonshire South and Arundel and South Downs).
St Ives might go Lib Dem but they are having such an awful election, it will probably be a Tory hold.
Agreed. They have elements that could work for them, but Swinson was just not the right fit.Not that bad an election. They increased their vote % by over 4% . To put that in context, the Conservatives only increased theirs by 1.2%
However, Swinson gambled on something....and lost. So she must go. What's clear is people don't like her.
