So, will it be a sizable Conservative majority or will Tory complacency lead to hung parliament?
I am on my way to vote...no way do we want the aggressive left wing militants ruling Britain...how did it come to this?
I pray for the right outcome, for a Christian nation. The Lord Reigns

Eh.
A Conservative majority similar to what they have now seems most likely to me.

All the pollsters are using slightly different weighting methods, most assuming low youth turn out.
Using them to judge the result isn't a great idea, but they are useful for spotting trends.

The two major parties have increased their vote shares, but it's going to come down to Labour voter turnout as to whether Labour have closed the gap, held their ground or lost seats.

If I had to put my neck out, I think the pollsters are more likely to be underestimating Labour, than over. I also think that the Conservatives may lose more seats than the vote % may suggest due to tactical voting.

*Sigh*
Long may the Conservatives steer the country into disaster after disaster.
The majority of the country voting against them yet still getting stuck with them.

Just like my curtains we are hung. :D

Will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Looks like the youth came out to vote which the media is claiming prevented a Tory majority.

So looks like I'll be suffering with both a garden tax plus a dementia tax for my kids....

May is probably now reminded of the story to attributed to Churchill:

A newly elected young Tory MP, eagerly taking up a place on the benches and pointing to the benches opposite, said to Churchill, “So that’s the enemy”.
Churchill supposedly replied, “No son, that’s the opposition”,
and then pointed to the benches behind and said, “That is the enemy”.​

At least she will be able to sympathise with Corbyn.
