with the latest terror attacks, you’d think people would be crawling over broken glass to vote UKIP!

“They have now installed Corbyn, a real Commie and EU lover.”

He may be a commie but he is not an EU lover. The left of the Labour party contain quite a number of a anti EU people.

I can’t believe British voters would turn and be SO stupid, SO quickly!

Really?

If you only assess "Britishness" via their survival of WWII under Churchill, you'll come away thinking they're something like modern Hobbits - stalwart, brave, tenacious, etc.

But how do you square that with their promptly dumping Churchill after victory in Europe?? And, if that weren't shocking enough, they dumped Winston for Atlee??

It was all down hill after that. Poor Maggie fought long and hard to reverse the decline of the national character, but no cigar. "Conservatives" thereafter were pretty much like Republicans today, and then worse.

No, individual Brits here and there to the contrary, the national character of the country is obviously enfatuated with Big Brother, no matter which party (Conservatives or Labour) is playing the role.

There are dirty forces at work in the USA and the UK to undermine Trump and Brexit.

A weakened May, a “hung parliament” will help that process along.

CNN is now about the British election. They are so happy that May will lose

Of course. Getting rid of the west and whitey is one step closer every time the Marxist globalists win.

Yes watching the UK press reporting exit polling data, let alone us citizens biting their nails over them, is nonsense... You think US polling was bad last election cycle? U.K. Exit polling is atrocious... Every election cycle they report labor is looking at big gains and then walk it back later in the night as real results come in.

It’s nearly as reliable as the sun coming up... We will see how this plays out, but the teeth gnashing is a bit silly in my mind.

No doubt the remain folks will probably lash out this election in some places but when your daughters are being blown up you aren’t going to see major shift to the pussy party

Farage is on BBC news now trashing May, and saying he will have to get back into politics if Labor takes over!

As an American, this is the first time I've ever seen British election results being covered on British TV live, in this case on SkyNews (which is owned, IIRC, by the Murdoch family).

One thing jumps out at me immediately: the anchors are cheerleading for the leftist parties! Reminds me of how just about all the "mainstream" American networks (with the possible exception of a few reporters on FOX) do the same for the Dummycrats on election night here.

Not good so fat

So far

Lab +4

Con -2

SNP -2

Labour has beaten 3 Tories so far, was supposed to be ZERO

Labour and Tories each take a seat in Scotland from the SNP

Labour gain another

F

Looks the exit poll is on the money

But we’re a long way off, Tories could still win a paltry majority like they have now

“The british trust the BBC ... and they are so anti-conservative”

I’m sure many do trust them, but I hang around a lot on the Daily Mail site and there is a LARGE percentage that know better!

Corbyn (Bernie) promised MORE WELFARE

Do idiots not care about Muslim invasion?

Labour holding their LEAVE voters

Sick, sad, if Tories fall short it’s the most retarded election result since 1945 (Churchill tossed our for socialist)

May ran a BAD CAMPAIGN. Weak!

I hope may keeps a clear majority, but who knows.

It baffles my why she called this election. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.

If you’ve got a clear majority and no major issues, it can be a good thing to call an election early. It can work out for you.

In this instance, Brexit was sure to become the referendum issue of the day.

Just plain dumb, unless I’m not catching on to some other over-riding drivers.
