Pollsters are unintentionally trolling Momentum:

At least I hope it's this kind of result that's wrong, it seems off.

Yeah the average seems to be around 7 or 8 point lead to the Tories. I think Survation may need to have a look at their polling methods after this.

I keep getting a weird video where a guy has a girlfriend who does everything for him, including making decisions (Presumedly because he's legitimately an exceptional individual) and she gives him a biscuit which he chokes and dies on. The allegory being the biscuit was the result of the election because he couldn't be bothered voting.

The two guys in the pub ad was more effective. Where one of them says he's not going to vote because he hates politics, then his friend tells him to shut his cakehole whenever he moans about something as 'you don't do politics'
 
This is going to be fun.

The Pig Pen is a safe seat for the Tories but the Greens are making a push due to it being the home of a large collection of weave your own muesli types. Most of the county, in fact, is Tory due to it being mainly farmers.

However most of my friends on Facebook are Londoners and other sandal king fans so I'll have a front row seat for tomorrow's saltstrom.

Indeed. I'm a dyed in the wool Tory really, but a lot of people on my Facebook are the exact type of people the Labour party targets, young people, and middle class buffoon types.

Just saw this as well.


I question the wisdom of portraying Corbyn as Thor, but Nigel Farage's cameo, Tim Farron as Loki and The Hulk's appearance, was just too funny.
 
Pollsters still using the same model as 2015 or only ask for people to self elect (with bugs) are Survation and Yougov. You can vote twice on Yougov if you fancy it by logging in via your mobile and doing it online via a web browser at the same time.

There was also someone from Guido who plays a "comrade" over on Labourlist urging and linking to the rabid momentumites how to volunteer for Survation and Yougov.

Honestly, the only thing you can really trust is Ashcroft's Exit poll at 10pm tonight.

EDIT: Just been and voted and our ward's polling station was quite busy, about a half dozen or so voters in there at the same time as me. The Grey Army is out in force again as I was the only person there under 50,60 70.

EDIT #2: Did we talk about how the Daily Stormer endorses Corbyn?

I was just at mine. One older Hindu chap and a young mum were there too. But that seems about right as it's more suburban so everyone is likely to be at work at this time.
 
I won't get back until around midnight.

That should be ample time for the salt to begin I should think.

Labour won't do as well in the election as they are doing in the polls, the young people who vote in the polls for them just won't do the same in real life going by past elections.

Over on "British banter" on facebook is a poll running for who you want to be PM. Jesus Christ Jeremy Corbyn currently has over 13,000 likes while May has just 1757.
 
I voted. I walked in, looked at my ballot paper for a good ten seconds in utter despair, then made my choice.

Story of this election my friends.

The best part is if you read Andrew Anglin's reasoning, this isn't your usual Daily Stormer trolling, he's for-real endorsing Corbyn because of the rampant antisemitism of his clique. It's literally "May is a tool of the globalist white genociders, but who knows what Corbyn will do and the Jews hate him so he must be doing something right!"
 
Just finished work and on my way to the ballot. Can't wait for the shit show to be over and the protests to begin in earnest.

I don't like any parties in this election but am I hell letting chairman corbyn become pm if I can stop it.
 
VOTE STACK SCENARIO UNDER WAY:

Express Rolling Update Blog said:
Long queues have been reported at polling stations at universities across the country.

Student turnout is predicted to be higher (78 per cent) than in the last election (69 per cent), but lower than in the Brexit referendum (87 per cent).

A survey published last month reported that 93 per cent of students entitled to vote are registered to do so.

Around 453,000 young people (aged between 18 and 34) registered to vote on deadline day this year.

So students are doing vote stacking in their university towns where it's likely to be a safe Labour seat anyway?

Preeeeeeeeeety much. Though it's seems to be wildly in and out on the old rumour mill. One chap went down to his polling station surrounded by student flats and nobody was there.

Seems Cambridge will likely stop being a Lib Dem/Labour marginal and Zeichner will enjoy a larger majority, if accurate.

Grey Army spent most of this morning heading to my local polling station with most working folks either going early morning or will be going shortly as the work day ends.
 
I couldn't do it.

I spoiled my ballot.
