With that majority I don't think so. He'll swagger back to EU and turn the screw now. The deal he got is not great, he'll go get better now.

The WA is 'his' deal though.

Digging into this a bit more. If it's accurate, it probably puts a second Scottish Independence referendum immediately back on the Calendar, and could bring forward a United Ireland considerably depending on the results there both tonight and in the next assembly elections (whenever the hell they might be).

This could be an extremely beneficial result for Scotland and Ireland in the long term.

If sub 200 seats JC is gone. No question about it. 5 years to next election.

Hey folks the exit polls were wrong in 2015 and can be wrong again ....

Too big of a gap in projected seats between Tories and labour, Tories will get the 326 anyway

One seat for the Greens......wow the Green Wave across Europe is alive and well....

That's more due to first past the post than anything. The UK is the only country in Europe that uses FPTP for its parliament.

So much similar to Trump vote. A dreadful buffoon is about to be elected because of the utter shambles of an opposition. Corbyn was always unelectable, and his Brexit policy made him even more unelectable. Hillary, much the same, was just unelectable to so many.

Hard to argue with that. I expect tomorrow we'll see those young students who could vote this time around arguing that they didn't actually bother to vote as they were busy on instagram and thought Labour would win.

Yep, remainers and their ilk aren't fond of it when it doesn't go their way. Very undemocratic of them.

I don't see any Remainers still calling for a second referendum. It's done. It's over. Boris will have a mandate to deliver Brexit.

Does it mean if there was another referendum that people would vote to leave? No but they did in 2016 and have elected a party to deliver it again. Nobody can argue for a second referendum.

I voted Tory and I'd vote for Brexit everyday of the week before voting for Corbyn/socialism.

There can be no doubt now Brexit is what the UK electorate want. Voted for it in 2016, the Tories got most seats in 2017, and this campaign which has been entirely about 'Get Brexit Done' has seemingly resulted in the UK voters giving it a thumping seal of approval.

Its what the English want, the scottish have just rejected it and we dont know about NI or wales yet

Given that Johnson will not accede to a Scotland ref will there be a genuine campaign of resistance north of the border? The SNP will need to be quite statesmanlike to channel the anger and frustration.

Not really - I know remainers who have voted Tory, because they didn't want to leave the EU, but they feared Jeremy Corbyn more than that. There are also many remainers who have drifted off to other parties as Corbyn is toxic.

If you want to know what people want to do whether to leave or remain, you ask them that question directly. General elections are about more than Brexit, the popularity of leaders comes into it and the fact is that many people who are remain, simply can't vote for Corbyn so the votes are spread over many parties rather than one strong party which means Tories would benefit.

A strong Centre Left Labour Party campaigning for remain would have won many more seats tonight and the Conservatives would have won less. As much as I can complain about the Conservatives, they united as a party of leave and ran on it, Labour would have done far better if they had settled on a position.

It was rejected by parliament and therefore consigned to the dustbin of history. He starts again with a blank piece of paper.

Doesn't show that at all

Fistly it does nto show the percentage of the overall vote and is based mostly on marginals

Secondly its an exit poll

Wait until morning to see the full vote results before drawaing such conclusions

Dennis Skinner out?

After 49 years.

It goes to show that the polls can be wrong. Not always in favour of the Opposition, but also in favour of the ruling party.

Johnson is the most successful PM in terms of majority since Margaret Thatcher.

Corbyn performed worse than Michael Foot.

That's the end of all that silly talk of People's Vote, 2nd Referemdum, Remain.

End of. Finito.
Good Bye Remainers. close the door on the way out!

If that exit poll is anyway near right, good riddance to Corbyn. Utterly useless as an opposition leader.

They are bound by the result

The EU will politely tell him to f-uck right off if he saunters back for a deal. It isn't in the EU's interest. Take the WA or don't, that's it.

Britain leaving the EU will happen now.

Was always going to happen the remainers behaviour the last few years has been a disgrace in the face of a democratic referendum. Boris may push for no deal now with this size majority.

Given the Tories have virtually no seats in Scotland, they must have won most seats in Wales also.
