Let's just hope it's the cult of Farage. UKIP became a total non-entity when he stepped down. He is 60 so at best will fight two more elections if it sticks to every five years. Bigger problem if someone in their 20/30s emerges speaking his bile and connecting with some of the electorate as that's always been the issue for them, someone younger who can imitate him.

The Fun Factory Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Would the exit poll factoried in postal votes? As in that would have come in earlier when the tories vote was probably 3-4 points up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarryOnVilla Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Just now, Follyfoot said: I don’t disagree but not until threy can have a concept of what it actually is. Should not be for 4/5/6 year olds IMO. Very much the same way as children run around naked with no inhibition in the early years but once they understand they cover up, same concept. I have no idea when it’s good idea is to introduce the idea of gender to children. It’s hard for just me to judge alone. Deal with it as (or if) it comes along is probably the best solution. Kind of like the birds and bees. You just know when you have to make that awkward conversation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree… but they also literally did no work in NI. They had zero people on the ground. There’s 1.5 million people there, and BBC/Sky News sent no-one.

Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 2 hours ago, ml1dch said: Fair enough, thanks for the explanation. I feel that any answer you do give might then get lost in exit poll analysis at 10pm, but I'll try and remember to come back to you in that 11pm - midnight lull! Turnout in my own station was very high. But the Liberal candidate is also a popular and effective Liberal councillor for that area. So turnout was probably much higher because of personal loyalty to a particular candidate. But from speaking to colleagues in other polling stations it seems a pretty standard turnout overall. I obviously couldn't talk up a candidate whilst the poll was open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Presumably all the reform votes will be in the seaside towns near the French coast … 13 is a lot considering 5 weeks ago the discussion was around how they might get a big share of votes but no actual seats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
