Anyone interested in doing a GRcade exit poll and seeing how we differ from the national result?

Massively.

[Oblomov Boblomov]

Bear in mind it's likely to make for distressing reading. I really have an awful feeling about tomorrow.

[Lex-Man]

Hopefully it works out better than it seems.

IIRC we have to be kinda careful with exit polls, as it's technically illegal to publish them when voting is ongoing.

Last time I wrote a little forum mod to hide the results until voting closed, I'll try to do that again!

You'd have to hide it until Sunday. The results aren't revealed until then as other countries vote on different days.

I just voted but don’t want to get Karl in trouble by revealing who I voted for.

There were five guys shouting about voting for the Brexit party in my polling centre this morning. They were thrown out of the room and when o left were standing in the street complaining their free speech was being trampled on.

Brexit supporters not understanding election rules and what freedom of speech is? Surely not!

I will vote later, but also don't want to get Karl in trouble for saying who i will vote for.

EU election results - let me predict it now:
There are no exit polls which means no bad news for anyone tonight.
There will be a Conservative 'drubbing.' Theresa May will announce her resignation on Sunday afternoon with a plan to hold on as PM until a replacement has been found in June - but Tory Game of Thrones means there will be surprises.
Anti-EU-wise the Brexit Party will do well but who will get the pro-EU votes? I suspect Liberal Democrats will win seats as protest vote against Labour, maybe a Green somewhere.
My controversial-take, Change UK will not win a single seat.

Voting centres is strictly a no-go for canvassing as it can been to be interfering with a person's free vote. I can't remember off the top of my head but I think that can be grounds for arrest.

Karl told me to tell you who I voted for, so I'll post a picture of the form when I go to vote later

[Cuttooth]

SNP?

Andrea Leadsom?

Guys there's no need for colour coding, you can say who you voted for, you just can't present it as an exit poll

Never, if you take away being humourless on the internet then I'm nothing
