BREAKING: Boris Johnson’s Conservatives on course for huge victory, exit poll projects
CNN ^

Posted on 12/12/2019 2:05:27 PM PST by outpostinmass2

Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party is on course for a huge majority in Parliament, according to an exit poll from the UK’s three main broadcasters.

The projections will be a big disappointment for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party and suggests Johnson will be able to pass his Brexit deal comfortably.

The exit poll is usually fairly accurate but a lot can still change as the night progresses and actual results begin to come through. Here’s the exact seat numbers from the exit poll, which predicts a huge Conservative win. 326 seats are needed for a majority.

Conservatives: 368

Labour: 191

SNP: 55

Liberal Democrats: 13

Plaid Cmyru: 3

A handful of smaller parties have also been projected to pick up seats.

With less than 100 seats to be decided, it looks like the Tories will barely make the majority of 326 (they need another 30 or so). Labor continues to hold seats and even picks up a few. Sorry, no big blowout.

Not true. Labour has already lost more than 40 seats to the Tories.

80 seats left, Tories still need another 25 for a majority.

And?

Lots of rural Tory seats still outstanding, slow to count. It’s a big win.

Labour should be happy to break 200.

You are a clown, most of the remaining seats to declare are going to be Con. If you think you are right, I challenge you to put your screen name up for a bet.

Yep. The rural Tory seats are almost the last to count.

The vast majority of what is left is heavy Tory. Educate yourself before posting. Labour has already lost 53 seats. The Torys have already gained 41. It’s as big a blowout as 1979.

Acting like this is anything other than a landslide is utterly laughable.

And another Tory gain in London (a leave seat). Only lost 1 in London I think.

Held at least 5 in Scotland.

Can’t wait to see President Trump’s Tweet congratulating the Tories.

Didn’t gain that seat in London after all. But have gained 1 there and only lost 2, another gain possible there.

Longest serving Labour MP just lost. 1970, Dennis Singer.

And another Tory hold in Scotland. One of only 2 leave seats there.
