An exit poll carried out by polling company Ipsos, and paid for by the BBC, ITV and Sky says Starmer’s Labour Party will win the general election with 410 seats. The final outcome of the election should be clear by early on Friday.
The exit poll put the Conservatives on 131 seats – its worst-ever performance – and the Liberal Democrats on 61. Support for the Scottish National Party (SNP) was predicted to have slumped to just 10 seats, compared with 48 at the last election.
Polls closed at 10pm (21:00 GMT) after millions of voters cast their ballots across the UK in a snap general election called by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Voters were deciding whether the Conservative Party leader would remain in the top job or if Keir Starmer, head of the main opposition Labour Party, would become prime minister.
Issues such as the cost of living, healthcare and housing have dominated voters’ concerns.
An amazing day for the Electoralism libs who view politics as a team sport. They get to feel good about their colour tie lifting the trophy for a few days, before the weeks and months pass and they notice that fundamentally nothing has changed.
Well who am I kidding, they won’t consciously notice, but they will quietly stop ”caring” about a lot of choice issues; as the glorious project of Cameron-ism continues with all its austerity, and all of the cruelty, continued decay and extraction that entails, as well as the continued ramp up of anti immigrant rhetoric, transphobia, the anti worker policies and the crackdown on dissent and protest.
