Meenzer 15542 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The prospect of stability of some kind, I suppose. Chaos, but predictable chaos. Â 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Have decided Gloom is right on sterling, sadly. Â It's been going down all day, presumably in response to turnout. And now it's jumping in the last hour. That has to be a response to some new info and the only thing it can possibly be is a Tory majority.

I don't usually turnout because I know labour has always been safe and I'm a lazy cunt, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13873 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If there's anything Tories will do, they'll do it out of spite and malice for the left-wing. They'll have turned out just to be cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44901 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm not buying the sterling thing yet. Even when the exit poll comes out there's scope for things to shift massively - was it 2015 when the exit poll said 316 for the Tories but they ended up with 330-odd.  In the current context, there is a massive difference between those two figures. I don't see how the markets can be confident unless the exit poll is going to return a BIG tory majority. Which is possible but would be counter to expectation.... We'll know soon enough.  Shitting it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
