Interesting times. If May goes then what sort of looper will they get? Will a low poll be interpreted as being against hard-line Brexiteer crap?
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Exit polls have underestimated the Tories in the past.

Even if they have a majority May's position is unattainable.

You mean untenable?

They have to get an adult in. Hard Brexit wil destroy the party once voters join the dots.

Maybe someone that brings them back near the centre and more electable.

The UK is polarised . So is the US.
Very hard to craft a message to bring enough people together to create a majority. Like how would you bring Daily Mail Readers and Guardian readers together ?

This would also be a bad result for the vile Daily Mail.
May was an absolute catastrophe.

Nah, they offer such a little bump in parliament that even all the NI seats pooled together would hardly make a substantial enough group in Westminster.

The 'Magic Number' for the Tories is 325 as the speaker doesn't vote.
If Sinn Fein win 4 seats, the magic number becomes 321 (as they don't take their seats)
Exit poll says 314 + 8 DUP = 322

Scary scenario....

If you forget about it it will all work out
Brexit talks start in 10 days.  They can't afford another election

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?
