If National wins ...

All going for Tories in UK - outright majority likely

Just like for Nats in November

Not according to exit polls.

Not according to exit polls.

Exit polls eh

Actual swing to Labour in counted seats not as high as exit polls implied = more than 314 for Cons than as per exit poll

Maybe not .......even Lab NZ might be taking hope out of this

What a big swing that would be. Good slogan over there, "For the many, not the few".

Looks like the Conservatives may limp back in with Ulster Unionist (DUP) backing. May gambled on getting a bigger mandate for whatever Brexit she decided upon. She failed. Her time as PM must be limited. However, who else in the Conservative Party would do a better job - I doubt if Bo Johnson would. What a right royal mess.

Royal mess? A mess, for sure - but what is royal about that? However - it is all fully deserved and I can't help to feel some schadenfreude while watching the unfolding results.

They talk already about May's last days (about time, given it's already June ...) and another general election later this year.

Sounds to me like Italy - just the food and the weather is worse ...
