Last week I called it as "the Conservatives will win a majority, but a reduced majority". BBC exit polls suggest that May might win 314 and Labour 266 - that's 12 seats shy of a Majority for May. That's broadly what YouGov were suggesting two days ago, saying Conservatives on 304 seats, Labour on 266 seats, though at close of play today they'd closed the gap to Conservatives on 302 seats, Labour on 269 seats. Election Calculus closed the day suggesting that Benyon would win with 38,517 votes, Labour second with 8,712 votes, and Lib Dems third with 7,967 votes. It would certainly be a surprise if Richard Benyon didn't get in so the Conservatives winning is not that interesting, but it would significantly alter the political landscape of Newbury if Labour took over from the Lib Dems as the party of opposition in local government, and a third place for the Lib Dems would make that a definite possibility.

QUOTE (newres @ Jun 9 2017, 08:17 AM) I'd say that May has to resign as she has completely @@@@ed up. She has is damaged goods and there is no mandate to leave the single market. It wasn't quite a single issue election but it was as near as can be to one. Yep. Corbyn and co should form a government. Be great for the Country.😂
