Please can I have some hope. I fear that the tiny bit I have left will be extinguished by midnight.

Good turn out among the student population down here…

Great to see such a strong student turnout at @UniExeCornwall to vote for our next Falmouth and Truro MP in the #GeneralElection2019
The queues have been like this all morning.

& I love this from Yorkshire…

Popped across to our Polling Station, voted Labour which is unfortunately weeing in the wind in the Tory loving Derbyshire Dale’s. Just me and the two polling station volunteers, it is pretty rural and a polling station that most people would need to drive to. Whilst my vote will mean nothing I can’t not vote as a nurse that works in some of Sheffield’s most deprived areas. Given the latter I’m not overly hopeful of even a hung parliament, I never fail to be amazed by the number of turkey’s keen to vote for Christmas.

Everyone I’ve spoken to dislikes Whittaker.

Not as much as his son does.

Whittaker is one of the most odious people ever to be an MP anywhere, for any party (read up on him). I’d vote for anyone else to get rid of him… and I’m utterly baffled with anyone (including Conservative supporters) voting to keep him in his job… but about half the constituency will… which is bloody depressing.

Even though it goes against my principals and I hate myself for it, I’m going to vote tactically and for Labour.

My constituency has previously been Labour but has been Tory for the last 2 elections. Lib dems unfortunately don’t stand a chance. Hopefully this will be the first time my vote actually  makes a difference. At 43 years old that’s pretty sad…

Odds on No Majority still shortening and Tory Majority still drifting although when I checked this morning it looks like there had been an adjustment the other way during the night.

If I had to take a guess at where the real probabilities would be, I would say 60% – 65% chance of a Tory Majority, 33% – 38% chance of No Majority, and 2% to 5% chance of a Labour Majority.

The thing to remember is that Wisdom of Crowds type analysis could be significantly skewed by the biased coverage. As Craig Murray pointed out, it has been focusing on working class Labour voters backing the Tories and completely ignoring Tory voters who are abandoning ship to vote for Lib Dems or, dare I say it, Labour.

Lab minority government, or at a stretch Lab largest party.

Good old Dr Moderate.

So just vote for whichever candidate you agree most with

Normally Edukator I would agree with you, but this is no normal election. The most important task today is to avoid a tory becoming your MP even if that means voting for a party you normally wouldn’t.

Well done Mum. Hard thing to do.

Craig Whittaker the mormon, child beater Tory MP for CalderValley did you say ?

The very one. Why anyone votes for him is beyond me.

I would rather have Abbot that Patel by about 100 billion times

Just when you think she’s reached peak stupidity she turns up to vote today like this 😂 😂 😂 Unless it’s fake!

@mrmo

Yup, it is pretty tough for farmers at the moment. The fields around here are waterlogged and it can’t be good for the 2020 harvest. A perfect storm for the agricultural community maybe.

Dont worry, I held my nose and voted Lib Dem

Maybe she’s hurt her foot and is wearing two different sizes due to swelling.

But yeah you know whatever.

Spotted just now on Facebook:

“Thinking of not bothering to vote because of the rain? Remember there are people having to sleep in it.”

Nice wee stroll to polling place in Kirkliston today (Edinburgh West, two way tie between SNP and Lib Dem last time with Lib Dem taking it). Gambled that there wouldn’t be much too much of a swing towards the Tories due to more and more young families moving in, so voted with my heart for SNP (and a little bit with my head, thinking we’d be better off independent and in EU rather than in UK and out of EU!).

My wife cocked up and missed her missed deadline for postal vote. A little bit of me is celebrating this as she has been a lifelong Tory voter having been indoctrinated by her father (lovely man, but also a Daily Mail reader, if that’s not too much of a contradiction in terms). Even worse, her sister votes blue also, as a hard up mother of three nurse! Would love to sit down and ask her just WTF she is thinking… Probably “imigants!”.

On the flip side, my wife had been muttering about not being able to vote for BoJo, but also not being able to bring herself to vote SNP or Labour, so would probably have voted Lib Dem. She might just have been saying this so I’d stop asking her if she was still voting Tory…

@13thfloormonk I might be talking bollocks but I think you can take your postal vote in to the station of you missed the deadline? Maybe don’t tell her unless she’s had a change of heart though…
