Trend line showing average voting intention before the elections:
-
Reform UK - gaining over the time with recent polls showing 17% heading to 20%
-
Labor - losing over time with the chart showing 39% as a last figure.
Today, the election day, exit poll:
-
Reform UK - 13 seats of 650 = less than 2%
-
Labor - 410 seats out of 650 = 63%
These are not final results, just exit polls, but it looks shocking!

Then on the Live” page they say:
Labour is expected to win 410 seats, with the Conservatives on 131
and the video on the same page says (and the speaker reads it clear):
Keir Starker will become a Prime Minister with a majority of around 170 seats
How 170 is majority?
In Ireland we have proportional representation, this means that after every count, the lowest candidate is eliminated, their votes are then distributed.
People vote by preferences, 1, 2 3 etc. first choice counts first, then if that guy gets in excess votes go to choice number 2.
So if the conservative guy is eliminated, the vote’s highly likely go to Reform. The lib votes would go to labour (commie / socialist / thieves).
In this example the commie still wins, but it is a fairer representation of public opinion.
The system they use in the UK is fundamentally corrupt. But it suits the main two parties, who are simply the public facing elements of the civil service.
