Ended up voting for Lib Dems instead of SNP. It was the video of Sir Ed Davey bungee jumping that secured my vote. One of the best political campaigns I have ever seen

I voted Green. Hope the Zionist Labour ghoul in my constituency loses

Already voted for SNP via postal vote last week. 

 

Tories are finally gonna be out today, but unfortunately the Labour leader is a Tory, so are they really gonna be out?  Hope the Lib Dem somehow become the opposition. 

By any chance does your constituency near the England borders or rural Aberdeen because that's where the Tories are likely expected to hold their seat with SNP being 2nd with fairly close margin on YouGov MRP polls. Just wondered how the tactical vote work for this particular scenario in Scotland context when both SNP and Tories are expected to be the bigger loser.

 

Spoiler

Don't judge me I'm not British just curious how the tactical vote work in Scotland context where there are plenty of tossup seats over there

Mine is indeed Aberdeen South. However I'd say the Tories look like theyre gonna struggle horrendously in Scotland. From what I've seen, northern Scotland (Perth upwards) is gonna be SNP, and the Edinburgh/Glasgow and lower belt is gonna be Labour this time around. 

 

That tacticalvote website above shows about 10 poll results for each constituency if you click on the constituency. Mine actually seems like it's either gonna be SNP or Labour, with half predicting SNP win, half predicting Labour. For the very few that still could be a tory victory, the tactical vote would be seeing who is the most likely 2nd in those polls.

I couldn't bring myself to vote for Labour, they're absolute trash now and will win anyway but I refuse to contribute to it.

 

So I voted for an Independent

Can't believe I voted for Lib Dems after 2010 but here we are.

 

 

 

 

Watch there be a surprisingly low turnout for Labour, hung parliament and Lib Dems forming yet another coalition with their favourite party

The exit poll 

 

Reform more seats than SNP… 

[Diarrhoea]

Green surge

REFORM 13?????

Let's hope when the actual numbers come in it's lower 

[Duanielipa]

Damn pretty much what polls were saying but Labour did a little worse than expected and Conservatives/ Reform slightly better 

[RihannaRTT]

Exit poll is rough in some aspects, so let's hope it's not exactly that in the morning. 

 

Tory floppage very pleasing. If only the future PM wasn't a tory in red. 

 

[abelfenty]

The Tories winning 131 seats potentially is still absolutely disgusting. How DERANGED do you have to be to still vote for them after all these years

Thanks for the explanation

What time are the final final results?

[Jack!]

Happy for the Greens looking to double their seats.  Just a shame they didn't seem to snag a seat in Scotland but anyway, what matters is the SNP and Tories have taken such a hit. Hopefully the actual results see both of their numbers even lower, Reform too.

Probably Saturday lol, Northern Ireland is always super slow, but most should be in by the middle of the day tomorrow 

[Fevesy]

SNP deserves to flop like this cause they decided to have electorate poison Kate Forbes as a deputy and even still have Nicola Sturgeon running around Glasgow and Edinburgh constituencies doing lots of the campaign work when the scandal is fresh in peoples minds 

[glitch]

Nothing for Alba I see

Sending pray for y'all for Tories and Reform go lower tomorrow morning. The floppage were pretty welcomed but still not enough after the 14 years damage on Westminster.
