UK election results
The exit poll projects the following:
- Conservatives 314
- Labour 266
- SNP 34
- Lib Dems 14
- Others 22
The 2015 exit poll was very reasonably accurate (unlike the pre-election polls). If this is correct then May’s gamble has backfired and Corbyn will stay on as Labour Leader.
But let’s wait and see what the actual results are.
The 2015 exit poll projected:
- Conservatives 316 (got 330)
- Labour 239 (got 232)
- SNP 58 (got 56)
- Lib Dems 10 (got 8)
- Others 27 (got 24)
UPDATE: It is looking to be a terrible night for Theresa May. They almost certainly have a reduced majority or even a minority Government.
Of the 375 seats declared, here is what has changed with the vote %:
- Labour +9.4%
- Conservative +6.2%
- Lib Dems -0.6%
- Greens -2.1%
- SNP -2.2%
- UKIP -10.9%
Scotland is very interesting. So far the SNP has lost 13 seats and Labour and Conservatives picked up six each.
