The U.K. General Election Thread

Polls close in less than 3 hours. 10pm (GMT +1).

Voter ID is mandatory.

Results will come in through the night UK time meaning Freepers on ET/PT will have a ringside seat.

Respected pollster Survation report that Nigel Farage's Reform UK party could win 15 or more seats with Labour scoring a massive majority.

Nigel himself should get elected so it depends how many go with him. That will be the story worth following.

Good luck.

Tories are the same as the RINOs.

Tories and Labour are two sides of a Deep State coin.

Flip the coin.

Deep State wins either way.

Reform and Tories have split the right wing vote.

Planned incident to make them keep taking in late votes until Nigel’s party is buried?

Democratic processes will die if their postal service waits are on par with those of their NHS.

There have been some interesting changes in UK election law since 2016.

That’s not a coinkydink.

We’ll find out tonight what the UK’s Deep State thinks it can get away with.

I wish they would also publish the party percentages rather than just the seat projections

A very large drop for the SNP (Scottish nationalists), previously they held the vast majority of Scottish seats.

Things to watch out for:

1) Declaration of the Clacton district. Nigel Farage likely giving a victory speech.

Everyone will show this

Possibly the highlight of the night for us with this overall result a foregone conclusion.

Also look out for Boston and Skegness where Richard Tice (the other senior Reform leader) could also win.. He’ll give a good speech and the networks might show it.

2) Senior Tories losing their seats/districts. Many have zero chance including the Chancellor/Treasury Secretary and Defense secretary. Huge scalps.

Sunak himself could be in trouble but I’m not sure

This is where the time zone difference works, we will see most of the declarations at a reasonable time.
