With Labour voters bexoming confident they can actualy win, I would be much more likely to bet against the old money brigade!

From 1979 to 1997 it was above 70% hitting 77.7% in 1992!!! The election after when Blair won fell to 71.3 and 4 years of Blair made it fall right down to 59.4.
So 68% turnout is on the rise again. Your sofas must be far too comfortable
Good to see the turnouts hitting close to 70% again. USA should make a bigger point on it on MSM that is important.
Yeah, a BBC Wales political reporter is convinced that there'll be another election in October...
Huge regional variations by the looks of it. Wales, London, and Scotland (no one saw that coming) showing unexpected gains for Labour.
If Labour starts making similar gains in rural England, get ready for Jeremy in No 10. But that is far less likely.
Possibly. On the other hand Theresa May's campaign has been very poor and you'd think the Conservatives would have to run a better campaign next time.
Not one to bet, but bookies have Corbyn as favourite to be next PM!
Jeremy Corbyn has gone from 7/1 to 10/11 to be the next PM since 9pm.
May's going to have to go and we'll see who comes next...

Two of the big ones in Wales are Gower and Cardiff North and it's sounding as though they're going to be Labour gains...
Boris was finished off last time. He would have no chance this time either.
I have to go to bed!!!! Think I'll be waking up to a changed Britain (again!) tomorrow.
Well there's no guarantee Boris would be the next Conservative leader. I also find it hard to imagine any Conservative campaign going worse than this one. While you're clearly not a fan of him, he did win two elections for London Mayor as well as the referendum so I'd say he does know how to get people to vote for him.
But Labour look set to gain some seats in Midlands and Yorkshire. Wasn't on the cards.But they are better in other areas.. Like I said Uni cities and marginals. And as someone else said, all those youths younger than VVD not thinking about consequences

Or maybe just thinking of their futures....
After his Brexit antics, I am pretty confident he will flop.
