UK exit polls suggest hung parliament

Cause to celebrate then.

I'm trying not to get too excited, but early results are looking hopeful.

I have no idea what you mean; I meant that it looked like there was no majority, so hopefully your government can just sit on ass for however many years and just do nothing, and that'll probably be as efficient as you can expect.

If the Conservatives have no majority, May will be forced to resign. They may also be ousted by Labour if they manage to form a coalition government, depending on how many seats Labour hold.

In the event of a hung parliament, there must be another election within 8 months if none of the other outcomes occur. If that happens, I think Labour will make gains and either win outright, or win with a coalition government.

SNP took a heavy hit. Are people flocking to the Tories and Labour to avoid a hung parliament during the Brexit negotiations?

SNP voters are switching to Conservative because the majority of scots do not want another independence referendum. SNP will not form a coalition with the Conservatives, but depending on the results, negotiation with Labour could happen.

The biggest shock so far is the UKIP voters. In some cases, they have been splitting 50/50 down the line, some voting Labour, which is unbelievable. That alone could really hurt the Conservatives in areas they are barely clinging onto.

I noticed UKIP at 0 in your poll numbers, a bit of a surprise since everyone was scared of their radicalism and growing popularity.

Before this election, they only held one seat anyway, even though they had millions of votes. Same with the greens.

SNP is popular in Scotland, and Lib Dems have a few seats here and there. Other than that, it is purely a two party race.
