If I lose just six seats I will lose this election and Jeremy Corbyn will be sitting down to negotiate with Europe: https://www.facebook.com/TheresaMayOfficial/posts/1737355726281193 ...

May finished ?

Yeah, it's well into June now.

When the election was called the Tories were 20 points ahead. They looked like Real Madrid. Now they look like Arsenal.

Boris to replace her and negotiate Brexit? How has it come to this.

From recent years it would appear that exit polls are run by media students who only interview hipsters, young people and friendly faces.

They're even an less reliable representation of general public thinking than Twitter, and I would put no stock in them whatsoever.

I thought it was the opinion polls that were shite and exit polls that were decent?

I think the story of this election is the opinion polls of 8 weeks ago that May and her advisors looked at and thought it would be a good idea to call a general election. These have turned out to be wrong by a wide margin.

I don't think the polls were wrong eight weeks ago, it's that the Tories have shot themselves in the foot repeatedly since then and Labour have managed to stand up to the negative publicity and come out the other side of it.

Philip Hammond the one to watch if she falls.

[mrdeeds]

Sure Sinn Fein will be players now.

Exit polls are far more reliable than Opinion polls. Still wouldn't like the mortgage riding on it being proven right tho.

[yellowcard]

Don't want to get too excited but it would be brilliant if the Tories were over turned.

Worse case scenario I think May is finished, the exit poll won't be that far out.

All the contenders who failed last time due to personality flaws will be ruled out

Rudd and Hammond I'd say this time

[Eamonnca1]

Anti-Brexit parties holding the balance of power, eh?

[trileacman]

Last exit poll underestimated tory seats by 15.
