Not the drowning out of Tories at all. It sounds like the swing may be very different in different seats, more so than usual. If they are interpreting the results against a general expected swing, that may be a bit inaccurate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 yeah. UKIP has mostly gone to Tories - but clearly not all of them. Still, very uncertain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I still think that any kind of Tory majority under 50 is an abject failure for May. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 2 safe seat results from 600. Labour will make most gains in more affluent areas where young people have turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll had predicted a 7% swing to Labour in Newcastle .. it was 2.1 % in Sunderland it predicted a 3% swing to Labour but it was actually a 3% swing to the Torys there are lots of tight seats so I'm guessing the margin of error makes those marginal seats difficult to predict now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Students and other young people are being urged to go back to vote, after being turned away. Voters in Newcastle-under-Lyme arrived to vote but were told they weren't on the register, because an old one is now being used. The problems are especially significant because the constituency is the home of Keele University, and is a key marginal seat for Labour, which hopes to gain votes from students. Those turned away had registered to vote and received voting cards alongside confirmation they had successfully registered. But they found that the polling stations had been issued with old registers that didn't include their details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
