Exit Polls: UK Conservatives Absolutely Crush Labour, Projected to Win an Outright Majority of House Seats

It's now being reported that exit polls say that the Conservatives will win 368 seats. The House of Parliament has 650 seats, so my math says that 325+1 is enough for a majority.

Exit polls, more like BREXIT POLLS, am I right?

Although there are still Conservative defectors/traitors who join Labor and the Lib Dems as Remainers, if the Tories really have that many votes, they can afford to lose some.

Note that usually a majority coalition must be formed, striking agreements with minor-party candidates to cobble together a coalition of 326.

But the polls suggest that not only will the Conservatives have a majority -- a rarity in the UK -- but a "huge" majority.

Boris Johnson is on course to secure a huge Tory majority in the Commons, according to the exit poll.

The joint Sky/BBC/ITV poll gives the Tories 368 seats with Labour on 191, the SNP on 55 and LibDems 13. The Tory majority is projected to be 86.

Followers of the disgracefully antisemitic and pro-terrorist (actually pro-terrorist) Labour leader and socialist Jeremy Corbyn have butthurt and assmad:

"I expected something but I didn't expect it that bad," was another.

One young man said: "Corbyn's got to go if the results are that bad."

Sargon of Akkad, joined by Mauler, is live vlogging the results.

They just said that a Labour idiot claimed "We won the argument, if not the vote."

Are you sure about that.

Also, a bit of caution: 65 races are considered too close to call. Obviously, that is a lot of seats that could go either way.

Note: In the graph below, Nigel Farage's Brexit Party stood down in any areas in which a seat might be lost due to his party getting votes. That is, he was all-in for Brexit and not his party, and so didn't campaign anywhere were he might play spoiler to a Brexit win.

That's why he's at zero, I imagine.

Usually we'd say "don't get too cocky" but because this is the UK, and honestly, who cares anymore?, I'm going to give out the rare advisory that you should get too cocky, and may even start s***ing each other's d***s if you feel like it.

(Sorry to step on the last thread, which is important, but this is breaking. I've held off for 30 minutes already.)

The best part of any election is watching the press go into depression.

Hey, don't cut on yourselves too deeply, guys.

Or do. Whatever you want.
