Off Topic The QPR Not 606 Rolling Election Poll

[sb_73]

which, if they retain their five seats and don't take them up again, means the number needed for a majority becomes 323.

Good point, I hadn't thought of that. And hopefully a cross party group will tie George Galloway up and leave him by the bins, so he won't count either.

Might get into that fun situation that wehad in the 70s when things were so tight MPs had to be wheeled in from hospital to vote.

Nearly every party is doubting the exit poll. Should be fascinating. I for one will be amazed if the Tories have over 300 seats.

I think the Tories will be amazed as well...

 

[Stroller]

The exit poll gives the Greens two seats.

Which is plainly bollocks and the pollster just about admitted it.

Sunderland declare a labour win. That makes it 1-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0!

Ukip got 21% of the vote in Sunderland and pushed tories into 3rd. ...lib dems only got 700 votes. ..

 

[sheffordqpr]

In a football analogy QPR are the LibDems!!

Surely 326 seats will still be needed to initially form the government?

That looks like their current form

 

[sheffordqpr]

That looks like their current form

Or possibly ours!!!

That looks like their current form

And Newcastle, must be a north east thing...

Swing from CON to LAB was less than expected - actually supporting the BBC Exit Poll... The UKIP influence could be interesting, because there was a larger swing from LAB to UKIP...

Except we get parachute payments, they lose their deposit!

Yes, I would have thought UKIP voters would need to vote Tory to keep Labour out.

If we keep this commentary up for every seat we have a chance of overtaking the Word Association thread in total posts. As I started the thread that makes me the big winner of this election.

They can form a minority government and try to gather the 326/323 they need on a vote by vote basis. You don't need a guaranteed majority to form the government. But it will be less hassle to do a deal with Lib Dems and/or DUP.

Brilliant rumour that Balls may lose his seat.

We'll get a better idea when we see a Premier League exit poll

 

[sheffordqpr]

Alastair Campbell, oily tick!!!!

 

[rangercol]

If Ed Balls loses his seat........................I will laugh all night long!!!!

There was a 30-40% of voters undecided. I suspect that a lot of them may well of been UKIP sleepers. This may be the tip of the iceberg.
