UK General Election 2017

[Milltown Row2]

The Shinners could make the difference here, by not taking their seats they'll give the majority to the Tories with the UUP and DUP propping up the Tories!! Worst case scenario

I wonder if it'd be big enough to wake the shinners up out of their abstentionist nonsense.

Gerry Adams has confirmed that the policy remains.

Talk about shooting yourselves in the foot!! Can they not cross their fingers during the pledge or wink

Cynical delayed audio of Adams on ITV

So, Jeremy being repeatedly tagged as an inveterate fellow traveler of the IRA, didn't cost him votes in an era of ultra terror paranoia?

UKiP have been demolished but hard to know where they're going.

Based on the exit poll:

Lab 266
+Lib 14
+SNP 34
= 314

Falls 11 short. The left would need to piece together a rainbow coalition with the SDLP and whoever else is about.

Con 314
+Lib14
= 328

Slim majority but a majority nonetheless. Lib Dems could insist on a second Brexit referendum as a condition of propping up the Tories.

Libs already said they won't be going in with the Tories, voter suicide to backtrack on that. Second election is the most likely outcome.

How could they not change that stance, since changing would see their policy implemented?This is the best potential outcome.

Are the NI constituencies counting tonight or waiting to start in the morning?

They reneged on election promises in 2010 so if they are in a strong bargaining position they should stick it in and break off the handle. After this result I'd say the Tories will be very amenable to discussions as they'll not want another run at the election.
