    Theresa May should resign? Yes, hurrah. Then we can have another "unelected PM" (as those who don't know the system say) albeit a better one hopefully and have another election to get that new PM a mandate :)

    Love elections.

    Are Labour voters to be called names now the £ has dropped? We Leavers got it last time. Is it your turn?

    Boooo, I want Royston out. Hate him, having to put up with his smug drunken face everytime I see my uncle.

    I didn't call leavers anything.

    I voted at 8pm (late for me) and while I was passing in the car, walking down to the hall and in the hall voting, at least 10 people went in to vote. One of the clerks said that it had been very busy in the afternoon with a lot of people turning up who don't normally vote. It probably won't make any difference as this is a staunch Labour seat anyway, the MP is the Shadow Secretary of State for Defence but if the high turnout is repeated everywhere then it could get very, very interesting...

    IF the SNP go as low as 34 that surely puts pressure on Sturgeon to resign and puts independence to bed.

    She's the First minister of Scotland and got virtually half the vote in the Scottish elections last year - no reason to resign, despite losses tonight.

    Yes, I heard from a mate in Brighton that the exit polls have been very interesting. I'm not looking at present. Too busy with the vino.

    360 minimum David Dimbleby. Anything less and she is in trouble!!

    And Kuennsberg says a minimum of 30 which = 356. Why does she get paid so much? I could tell her all this stuff for a cut.

    All those years of the pundits and politicians and commentariat going on and on and on about voter apathy and a disconnect yet all the time from 2001 low point it has been increasing again and the internet has been buzzing like mad while they were saying that there was this apathy.

    Love John Curtice. Always reminds me of Professor Brainstawm. And always just gives the facts having to be pushed to give any opinion at all.

    Imagine if Labour beat Amber Rudd - that would be bloody marvellous.

    Also, I still have some hope that the students in Sheffield Hallam will get some revenge on Clegg.
