UK exit poll
(hexbear.net)
- An exit poll carried out by polling company Ipsos, and paid for by the BBC, ITV and Sky says Starmer’s Labour Party will win the general election with 410 seats. The final outcome of the election should be clear by early on Friday.
- The exit poll put the Conservatives on 131 seats – its worst-ever performance – and the Liberal Democrats on 61. Support for the Scottish National Party (SNP) was predicted to have slumped to just 10 seats, compared with 48 at the last election.
- Polls closed at 10pm (21:00 GMT) after millions of voters cast their ballots across the UK in a snap general election called by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
- Voters were deciding whether the Conservative Party leader would remain in the top job or if Keir Starmer, head of the main opposition Labour Party, would become prime minister.
- Issues such as the cost of living, healthcare and housing have dominated voters’ concerns.
Labour are underperforming then, right? I don't think Conservatives were expected to get triple digit seats a few weeks ago.
Yea, most polls had them at 100-90 seats with a few under 50, its an exit poll so it can still change but it looks like the tories get to survive for a bit
What usually happens is that when people expect their party to win with a landslide they can't be bothered to vote unlike people whoms party is at a loss.
