…such as one of our more prolific forum members becoming an MP, maybe? 😉 I can’t tell if this is a tongue is cheek comment or if someone on here is actually running 🤣 (if there is I wasn’t aware of it😂) is for Labour in East Surrey |

I can’t tell if this is a tongue is cheek comment or if someone on here is actually running 🤣 (if there is I wasn’t aware of it😂) is for Labour in East Surrey Which in every single poll is still a comfortable Tory win. But this election will no doubt throw up some surprises. |

Nobody's yet answered the big question - what will be the London bus route of the Labour Majority? Will Sir Keir win by Woolwich - Bluewater? Or a more impressive Hayes & Harlington - Harrow Weald?
Or as big as Russell Square - North Greenwich? Or a truly impressive Kingston - Staines? Or a frankly astonishing Bromley North - Westerham?
My guess for Labour’s amount of seats they’ll win Purley to West Croydon My guess for the Tories amount of seats they’ll win Holborn, Red Lion Square to Willesden, Bus Garage I think the smaller parties (like the LDs and Reform) will pick up far more seats than we’re anticipating At a guess…. Labour : North Greenwich to Bexleyheath via Woolwich and East Wickham Conservative : Brixton to Croydon via Norbury LD : Kingston to Chessington SNP : Finsbury Park to Battersea Bridge Northern Irish parties have to be Sudbury to Euston Plaid Cymru : Blackfriars to Archway Green : Victoria to Crystal Palace Reform : Victoria to Crystal Palace Speaker : Hampstead Heath to Canada Water Which I think equals 650! |

I assume you mean the Kingston to Surbiton that goes on to Chessington and not to Tolworth or Epsom as that’s a huge difference. |

I was undecided all day if I was going to vote but in the end I decided to go. Think this is the first time I have been so unsure of who to vote for in an election. I think the results are going to be a bigger event that the 1997 election when Labour came to power..
It will be very interesting to see how this plays out and wonder why the new PVR of the Conservatives and Labour will be

I voted this morning, the polling station was pretty quiet with more staff than voters and away from the polling station you wouldn't really know there was a general election happening today, very few posters in windows etc.
I would imagine it's going to be a pretty low turn out probably exacerbated by the photo ID requirement.

Yes at mine aswell I was the only person in there about 5.15. Admittedly it's a pretty safe Labour seat here so possibly didn't have the same buzz. |

Reform on 13 though I'm still dubious till all the counting is done. The final exit poll is normally incredibly accurate. There may be a few seat difference but it will likely be correct. Personally I think the Tories have done better than expected. But it’s time for a bit of change, I don’t see much being different but I’m hugely pessimistic. The way politics goes these days it’ll all be over in 3 years. |
