General Election - December 12th, 2019

[jrb]

Exit poll at 10pm.

Sky, ITV, BBC all involved.

30,000(?) voters at 144 polling stations asked to fill in the same kind of ballot paper with who they voted for outside the polling stations.

The last exit poll got it pretty much spot on regarding Theresa May.

We should get a good idea who will win the election, or if it’s going to be a hung Parliament.

NEW: In the final days of the election campaign, Boris Johnson’s team orchestrated an official press complaint on behalf of the mother of the NHS-hospital boy.



Boris Johnson’s Campaign Was Behind A Press Complaint In A Bid To Stop Re-Publication Of The Viral...
A senior Conservative aide lodged the press complaint on behalf of the mother of the boy. It was later sent to the BBC and the broadcast regulator Ofcom.

You never read any of the links you post all the way through do you?

There’s nothing to suggest Johnson’s campaign was not carrying out the wishes of the mother

yep. so they're left too?

They're most definitely pro Labour. They're one end of the spectrum, the Sun is at the other end.

Speakers should be neutral.
It's common knowledge that he hates Brexit and his wife had a bollocks to Brexit sticker in her car.
It's also widely claimed that Brexit would in fact have been done and dusted if it wasn't for him.
Total twat.

Made sure parliament remained sovereign, stopped the government riding roughshod,did his job.Brexit would have been done if the government could get its own Mps to support them. Nothing to do with the speaker.

Seems like the right time to compare with last time. Here's the BM poll from 2017...

Tories +1%, Labour lost 11%, 6.5% to LibDems and some to BP/UKIP.

Sample size is smaller.

Make of it what you will...

I'd say it's pretty accurate thing over the whole country. Labours lose some hard line remainers to libdem and some brexiters to Brexit party. It's all down to Brexit.

Id say the Express was the other end, Owned by the Mirror too.

 

[BosnianBlue]

is there any chance I could land on bbc.co.uk instead of bbc.com without UK IP*?

They're not as "in yer face" as the Mirror.

Jezz'll walk.
He's 70, he isn't going to hang around till he's 75 at the next election!
I'll think he'll go in spring.
Personally I hope he's replaced by someone with less "baggage" for the media to have a pop at and with policies slightly to the right ( slower change) , not particularly because I'm against radical change, I just think a slightly slower pace of change would be more electorally acceptable.

So you reckon we'll wake up tomorrow to the smiling fat fool?

Given that she herself wrote to the same body asking that her son not be used a a campaign political football I'd assume that was in there as an attempt at balance as required by law in an election campaign. Not only do I do what you claim I don't I read other articles and sources too..............
