    Good evening again everyone :smile:

    Perfect results as far as I’m concerned.

    I’m glad this isn’t an extinction for the Conservatives. They need to hold the centre-right.

    A superb-looking result for Labour. LibDems brilliant too.

    I wasn't too far out in my eve of poll posted 24 hours ago, bit high on SNP and low on Reform.

    This is my eve of poll forecast. I voted LD.

    Lab 424
    Con127
    LD 49
    SNP 22
    Gr 2
    PC 3
    REF 2
    OTH 3
    NI 18

    Turnout 61%

    Wouldn't surprise me if at least some of the Reform wins are Labour seats. A Barnsley or Hull seat?

    I apologise for claiming that the SNP might be as high as 15.
  • TOPPINGTOPPING Posts: 44,237
    From a few days ago:

    So that gives my base case as follows:

    Lab 38%, Cons 27%, Reform 10%, LibDems 14%, Green 5%.

    Baxtering gives a 188-seat Lab majority which is not too shabby.

    Cons party seats 121, Lab 419 which I have backed.

    Happy with that.

  • maxhmaxh Posts: 1,704
    Quite pleased with that on all levels except the Reform seats.

    Most of my bets were over 100 Con seats.

    Cons aren't wiped out which is good imo.

    I didn't believe Reform would deliver, I'll lose a bit on Reform seat numbers.

    That said... there are going to be a *lot* of very close results. So, going to be a very interesting evening.

  • BartholomewRobertsBartholomewRoberts Posts: 25,721
    13 seats for Farage is 13 too many but still less than a quarter of what the Lib Dems get and 1/10th of what the Tories got.

    They're still shit, Putinist nobodies.

    It also means the loons, fruitcakes and closet racists that get elected will be in for a fair bit of scrutiny. Could be a clown show to rival the last Conservative government unless Reform have managed to match their best candidates to the winnable seats.

    We will, however, be seeing more of Farage :disappointed:

    I suspect that Lab, Con, LD and Ref would all be happy with that result.

    Can we lock it in and then have fun watching the individual results ?
  • IanB2IanB2 Posts: 52,665
    Working from the MRPs, I have a list of 87 LibDem targets in total, including 8 notionally held. Some look most unlikely (including a handful of Labour ones) and some look like real long shots. To get most of the rest would be remarkable.

    Also note that if REF are above the one or two seat range, there will likely be a lot of close Con/Ref contests, and that could tip either way.

  • DM_AndyDM_Andy Posts: 1,456
    Really around 400 is a perfect number for an incoming government. If Starmer had got 500 then he's still only got the same number of government jobs to dish out and in MPs 400-500 there would have been some odd people that would know they would only have one term. But I'm still a little bit disappointed with a majority of 'only' 140 ish (SNP 10 means that Labour are at the highwater mark in Scotland and there's only downside there).

  • rcs1000rcs1000 Posts: 61,173
    I would guess the vote shares are:

    LD 12%
    Green 5%

    BBC have just shown a table showing relatively small LAB vote increase by region 3 or 4%. 18% in Scotland. A small fall in London. Is it possible LAB have only got 35% overall but if CON are on 25% then LAB maj 170 completely plausible. 1997 LAB maj around 190 on 11% lead approx

    I assume the exit poll, like the MRPs is probabilistic totals? There will be many too close to call, but 50% chance in 10 seats adds up to ~5. You'd be further out calling seat totals on the most likely in each constituency.

    There will be a list of the 13 most likely seats, but I don't think that's ever shared?
