Here's my predicto.

Tories get in with a majority. Brexit never gets done and Boris is replaced. Replacement claims Brexit only means no ECJ and gets Brexit done. Scotland fails to become indy because it's impossible to sort out anything so hideously complicated. New SNP leader claims to get Indy done and succeeds by announcing Indy really just means more money for Scotland. Climate migration leads to dictatorship and we all get sent to camps until we are unexpectedly liberated by the Chinese.

Trying to get this into a headline. Best I can do is "madman predicts chentry"

People's Liberation? Barmy.

Just done gone been and voted. I noticed that our Scottish Labour candidate was the only one who doesn’t live in the constituency. In fairness, Scottish Labour standing here is a token gesture (they must struggle to get their deposit back) but, in that respect, you almost wish they hadn’t bothered. Things are going to be pretty tight between the SNP and Conservative, although something I saw hinted that the SNP will take the seat back tonight. I can only hope.

Maybe, by the time I retire, Scottish Labour will have sorted itself out and be a viable prospect again, and I can get politically active...

Voted.

Reach Up, Stamp Down. That's my motto.

Stop, drop, shut em down, open up shop.

Odds of a hung parliament are dropping at the bookies. High turnout. Reports of Labour activists being sent from southern marginals to drive out the vote in Tory comfort seats. I’m currently swinging between mild optimism and dread. Can Britain pull itself back from the brink or will it fling itself into the abyss?

High turnout was a harbinger of doom in the Brexit ref though.

Please stop I can't take it, I prepared for disappointment and any kind of hope is killing me

A lot of the polling stations are apparently in food banks which must surely be giving some voters just a little pause for thought.

Yeah sorry I can’t carry this on.

Voted. Decided to go independent, those pot holes and overhanging tree branches aren't going to sort themselves out are they?

That's the busiest I've seen our polling station, ever.

djchump

Done.
Good luck badgers, see yall on the other side.

I put a cross next to the picture of the tree because we need to plant more trees. Did I do it right?

You should have put a big red cross next to the Brexit Party to say No Brexit.

LivDiv

Now I have an annoying nagging feeling I checked the wrong box despite knowing full well I didn't.

Like when you go on holiday and are convinced you packed you pants but also doubting yourself.

regmcfly

I went as tactical as I could to keep the fucking Tories out

I had that, I checked about three times to make sure I hadn’t inadvertently put my ‘X’ next to the Tories or something. I also made sure to really scratch it in with the pencil, paranoid that someone might be able to rub it out.

Ive promised my wife that if we get a Labour victory tomorrow with Boris out I’ll run straight into the street in just my pants and dance like a loon

Facewon

How many hours until useful amount of counting is done?

Paul the sparky

After 10pm I think. Another three hours.

Fair.

Paul the sparky

Who's everyone tuning into tonight? Channel 4 are tempting me. Fuck a BBC.

Wookienopants

I’m not tuning in, I’m going to sleep nice and early like on Christmas Eve, hoping Santa comes and brings me the best gift of all. No more Tories

afgavinstan

Ch4 must be the only credible one left, shirley?

Yeah, fuck the Beeb.

Yeah polls close at 10pm (in 3 hours time). At that point we will start getting exit polls through.

There is a weird tradition where certain constituencies love to be the first to declare. It is normally Sunderland who declare first and fairly quickly. Other places go on well into the small hours.

Howdy, Stranger!
