the 2nd world war was less than 100 years ago. k. a. applegate once wrote something very wise in her extremely hosed up children's book series "animorphs." it was something to the effect of "a butterfly flaps its wings and by random happenstance this causes a tornado on the other side of the world. but what if a butterfly wants to cause a tornado on purpose? all they can do is flap their wings a best they can and hope"

Wouldnt have mattered.

Hardcore Tory voters aren't even that interested. My in laws and their friends are bored of Brexit, not bothered what happens now just fed up of hearing it. Can't tell you what the main policies of any party are, don't like Boris but hate Corbyn and therefore voted Tory. It's like debating a brick wall. They just see the MSM narrative (especially as people who dont use social media much if at all) that Corbyn = Bad and act accordingly. He could've offered a right wing manifesto, he wasn't their man and so was given the hatchet job.

I appreciate the thought but the exit poll is historically quite accurate, and if they're polling marginal constituencies on the same day it is likely to be an effective snapshot of the vote, unless they are using a very strange methodology.

The anti-semitism business did nothing, I want to say it was 80% Brexit and 20% Labour promising the world to people who massively distrust politicians on instinct.

This is probably how the polling will bear out and I suspect the tactical voting fuckery splitting votes. Also perhaps the timing being bad for students.

But they had their trump moment on the brexit vote.

This is the "Trump reelected over the hopes of the Left that this could be their moment of resurgence" moment and it's a terror for anyone who's putting their hopes into a Sanders win in the U.S.

Electoralism's potential to save humanity from extinction over the course of the next century does seem pretty tenuous, there are just precious few other straws to grasp.

That's the exact same size as every other exit poll. Stop looking for outs - at best there might be 20 or 30 seats either way, which is still a loving disaster.

I mean that seems like a pretty good sample size. Stats is real and you don't need to survey every voter in the UK to get a good idea of the results. Fortunately though they did survey every voter in the UK and we'll know what they said in a few hours.

If they're polling people in constituencies where there is a chance of a change they don't need very many to build a series of trends per-constituency. Poll may predict poorly, but they can describe quite well.

the poll showed 60-some close call seats that went for tory, even if they all went for labour thats still a tory majority. it might not be a total slaughter but it seems unlikely at this point that its not a tory majority

There was an exit poll showing a huge Tory victory. The exit polls are usually fairly accurate. Nobody yet knows the real results.
