Outcome we want, or outcome we expect?
No outcome I want is possible so I will predict a tory majority of 5-10.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

On the basis that this would neutralise the headbangers and allow Johnson to actually negotiate something sensible rather than be forced into accepting whatever basic b**** Canada minus deal he is offered? It's an idea. If anyone has shown that they can be entirely unhindered by the stupid boll***s they said only 48hrs ago it's Johnson.surrey_commuter said:More interestingly what outcome do we all want?

Worst case scenario is either a Labour majority, or a Labour minority propped up by the SNP. Fortunately these are less likely scenarios but let's see...surrey_commuter said:

My local polling station was by far the busiest I've seen it, that could just be that I caught the evening rush whereas I normally go on my way to work or late evening though. Wife said she'd never seen it so busy as well though.rjsterry said:

last election where i live - winner had 62% of votes, 2nd had 27%, third had 5%!
I don't want 1st place to win!

I'm going down the polling station with junior in a bit. Good that she is exercising her democratic rights."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

But no you wonβt do that because you are incapable of rational thought.

It could be dramatic night in NI.
Belfast North - DUP leader in Westminster Dodds fighting to keep his seat against Sinn Fein....too close to call
Belfast East - DUPs Emma Little-Pengelly looks set to lose to the SDLP s Claire Hanna.
Foyle. SDLP leader Colum Eastwood looking to regain the seat SF took for the 1st time in 2017. Too close to call
North Down. Independent Unionist Lady Sylvia Hermon retired. DUP came a close 2nd in 2017. They'll be pushed hard by the Alliance Party. Close but leaning to DUP.
It's been a vicious campaign.
It could have huge implications. Should the DUP lose North and South Belfast. Then 3 of 4 seats in Belfast will be held by Nationalists and Unionism will for the first time not hold a majority of the seats in NI.
Another round of talks to restart the assembly start on Monday.

I know how she's voting. The right way, otherwise I wouldn't have offered to take her there and then she probably wouldn't have botheredPross said:

I've worked out how much a Labour government would cost me and it's far worse than Brexit - which has actually benefitted me in some ways. Labour can FRO.surrey_commuter said:

But no you wonβt do that because you are incapable of rational thought.
Most rational people with sound mind would rather leave the EU than see it completely wrecked yet again by a political that has no fiscal common sense and thinks borrowing Β£Bns and chucking money at it will solve the problem. 5 - 10 years down the line guess who get back into power? And what will they have to do? ...Austerity and cuts to services.
But I suppose you will counter with some high brow city bollox that I'm wrong and you're right.
FWIW I didn't vote as I bothered to see my candidates in action at a hustings. None of them, their party policies or their personal aspirations for my district inspired me to vote.

I have from 1997 until 2010 and up until the worldwide financial crisis in the final year or two I was better off than at any time before or since.mr_goo said:

I'm not sure you thought that comment through in your hyperbole.
At least you won't be complaining about the outcome as you didn't think it was worth voting so presumably you'll just accept the outcome of those that did.

Dont worry Goo, looking at the exit polls, the Corbyn threat is looking pretty remote. Let's hope that translates into the 86 overall majority forecast and leftie/centre leftie butt gets well and truly kicked.mr_goo said:

Exit poll gives Labour a disaster, even worse than Michael Foot, and the Tories their best result since 87!
Conservative majority of 86 forecast.
