HOLY gently caress that would be best result as May would lead a government but have no power

if may calls a snap election and loses her majority, she's done, she can't stay as PM

that's a poisoned chalice for someone, though

If this is roughly true, May is hosed. As in gone :D I have to put my statistician hat on now, unfortunately I'm too drunk to do maths.

Not sure I believe this result, the SNP losses have presumably gone to Labour under this poll - I got the impression Scottish Labour had run a crap campaign though?

the 2015 exit poll had the cons at 316, short of a majority of 323 (or 326)

Ah, I was a bit off then. I remembered the exit poll being a significant blow to us, but not to which extent. It's still good sign, in that the exit poll is generally the more accurate.

Is anyone out there doing an exit poll for Northern Ireland because this is now suddenly relevant

KKK could you remind me what the NI breakdown looks like again?

I would put SF on 6 (taking two, one from the Ulster Unionists in Fermanagh and South Tyrone and one from the SDLP in South Down). Then you've got the DUP fighting to take another seat off the SDLP, hold one from an Alliance challenge and take one back from the UUP - So if East Belfast hold and the SDLP collapses in South Belfast then Unionists would be 10 seats - If they fail to capture South Belfast and lose Belfast East then Unionists 8 combined.

Then you've got Sylvia Hermon as an independent who has said she will not vote Corbyn and probably one solid SDLP in Foyle who will back Corbyn

Is it realistic that Labour can form a coalition government, given these results? I want to know if I should keep cheering for the UK to pull out of the right-wing nosedive or if this is just more of a slowing of the nosedive
