Can anyone explain why losing 314-266 is a good thing ? What does it mean ultimately

You need 326 for a majority

Thing about these exit polls is ive never myself been or seen anyone be questioned when leaving the polling station.

Exit polls are always the most accurate of polls. Within a few percent.

means Conservatives would likely have to get cross-party support to pass any bills in Parliament.

good point. what exactly are exit polls based on ? no one knows anyones vote, unless everyones asked ?

Joint exit poll:

Con - 314
Lab - 266
SNP - 34
LD - 14
UKIP - 0
Others - 22

Apparently SNP number is dodgy

If that's dodgy then who will benefit/lose?

Apparently it's 50/50s so maybe some are Labour and some are Cons...? So could be very crucial.

I'm not getting to bed tonight, am I?

So Labours main objective was to get a hung parliament?

Have you ever been asked?

So what will happen if they don't get it. Does another party give them votes ?

 

[jimharri]

Still think they'll hit a 50 seat majority

You think they'll get over 350 seats?
