Isles of Scilly, tourism dependent. Votes sent by boat, delayed by wind.

Over there they count every vote before giving the result. And while this one is late (again) none of them ever take weeks like here. Smaller seats than ours of course but still, makes us look lame.

St Ives, Tory Hold! Increased margin. Final numbers

Conservatives 365 +47 (from the last election)

Labour 203 -59 (Labour figures due not include the Speaker, who was Labour, Speakers run as "The Speaker" and major parties stand down against them, Tory gain if he wasn't the Speaker, probably. Wikipedia is currently wrong, subtracting the Speaker twice. Fewest Labour Seats since 1935)

SNP 48 +13

Lib Dems 11 -1 LOL

DUP 8 -2 (lost 2 Belfast seats, there are now more Irish nationalists seats than Unionists)

PC 4 +0 (Welsh Nationalists/commies)

IRA Terrorists 7 +0 (Don't take their seats)

SDLP 2 +2 (N Irish Labour types, wiped out last time)

Green 1 +0

Alliance 1 +1 (N Irish Lib dem types)

Speaker 1

Brexit 0

Exit Poll was

Con 368

Lab 291

SNP 55

LD 13

Very Close

Popular Vote

Con 43.6% +1.2 (Highest for either party since Thatcher 1979 which was 43.9%)

Labour 32.1% −7.9 (Actually higher than what they got in 2015, thanks to non-Whites, only 3 points lower than what Blair won a majority with in 2005)

Lib Dem 11.6% +4.2 (but lost a seat, lol)

SNP 3.9%

Green 2.7% +1.1

Brexit 2.0%

Imma dumbass who can’t add and wiki is right,

203 does include the Speaker

So technically there are 202 Labour

I hate how that works. In Canada the Speaker also acts neurally but still has to win his seat for real and keeps his party affiliation.
