What you claim to be against has literally been happening under the so-called conservatives for the last 14 years

Cool - then we could have dodgy deals cooked up behind closed doors and parties hardly anyone voted for holding enormous power because their 2 votes in Parliament make them kingmakers. Like we've seen in the Scottisah Parliament - very few peopel voted for the Greens, yet they had two cabinet ministers and all sorts of fruitcake policies got pushed through because the SNP needed the Green votes in Holyrood to form a majority. Belgium (PR) had no government for over a year because they could not cobble togther a working coalition. Italy (PR) was for some time held hostage by Five Star - headed by a literal comedian. It's funny how everyone criticised Theresa May for having to constantly pander to the whims and blackmail of the DUP - but that's what it is like under PR. Tiny minority parties wield far more power than they should.

@@richardgregory3684 "FPTP is strong and stable unlike the dodgy deals you get under PR" Our Union was torn apart by the dodgy deal the Liberals made with Irish nationalists in the late 1900s. Another dodgy deal happened in 2010 as well as 2019. Labour at the last few elections threatened to make a dodgy deal with the SNP to further tear the Union. We get many dodgy deals under FPTP. So this line is utter BS.

You've got a government that has a majority with 32% of first preference votes but gets to win because it weighs people's 11th vs 12th choices? That's a step backwards.

⁠@@catmonarchist8920idk how it works in Australia, but there are methods to achieving a result that EVERYONE would have voted for at a majority if you added every last thing up. He is right fptp is horrendous and scaremongering from the largest parties against it are the only reason why its still around

@@K-Dot94 The Netherlands style PR is what you want if you want to ensure a government most people voted for and not a single winner method like Australia. Imagine that there are 3 districts/constituencies of 100 voters with one being 80 red and 20 blue , the second and third both being 40 red and 60 blue. There are 160 red and 140 blue total. Blue wins 2 to 1. It doesn't matter if it's ranked or FPTP since there are only two parties.

@@catmonarchist8920 yeah but even then at least thats MORE fair, some people might prefer the more powerful governments

Funny seeing you here!

No way I caught you in the exit poll compilation comments bahahaha

It's going to break all their methodologies with how shy the Tory vote will be. Will make the actual results much more interesting.

Kinnock/aunak major starner....

did NOT expect to see you here :0

Oh what could have been...

Yes devastating

1992 gets a bad wrap, but even it wasn't that far wrong and was much closer than the opinion polls had been

@@Septimus_ii - Perhaps. All I remember though is staying up all night with a bunch of friends getting ready to party only to gradually discover as the night unfolded that the Tories would get in for another 5 years. I have recurring nightmares about it. The polls couldn't predict all the Tory expats from around the world whose votes were counted. That's why I am not prepared to totally write off the Tories this time because of their reputation for dirty tactics.

BBC Exit poll 1992-2019 1945PM 1.6.24 it isn't me begging to be indulged - with a touch of nostalgia, cos nostalgia's crap. it's me knowing full well that election night was far more interesting back then circa 1980/95.... men in suits might be the thing but a bit of idealogical werewithall is what it was all about... a labour red wash during thid election might allow his nibs to take a chance on a few ideas and actually get soemthing done. as opposed to the stifling b.s of party lines being towed... we shall see.

@@JJONNYREPPThe interesting thing this year is how far Reform & the Greens will eat into the 2 major parties. Hopefully a lot!

@@aclark903 Comments on ‘BBC Exit poll 1992-2019’ 0959am 2.6.24 reform lost it's reason to be after allowing those it was pitted against join it's ranks... greens wont do much.... and the same old merry go round of b.s will take centre stage - again - so eager beaver journos will have something to chat about sunday morning... with or without andrew neil.

the bs will be literally the exact same if not worse under labour

Homophobe

How????? They didn't allow marriage

someone swallowed the coolaid

​@petergriffin3194 I think he was having a dig at single mothers raising their kids alone.

Well judging by how Sunak has handled the election so far........

As long as its not 2019

Reverse 1992 at best for the Tories. The lowest model for labour (one that assumes no tactical voting) has them at 370 seats and even if you can shave off a few dozen more they can limp on.

Major starmer ^ blair

​@@catmonarchist8920yes correct

that would have likely implied a labour government. lib dems in 1992 would have worked with kinnock

​@@M-bi2yjProbably but the exit poll doesn't look at that.

@@Scottish_TV_Gold sure. but it’s perfectly reasonable to say that the exit poll implied a labour government.

@@M-bi2yj It forecast the Conservatives as the largest party which was correct.

Yes starner is a major ed davey is more kinnock

Done a little broadcast training in my time but no expert, my intuition: 1992 was a projector, lower res and harder to get the lighting right for, 1997 was a bunch of LCDs stacked together, which would be much easier to light and adjust the camera for as well as being higher pictre quality overall (minus the obvious bezels).

By 2010 look how modern

@@veggie42 I just thought more modern than 97 and to be honest I can't tell the difference between some of the highest resolutions, 720 looks alright to me and that's supposed to be low now.

Well the referendum in 2011 put paid to that.

@@user-po2qb6cm9q then maybe have a bit of honesty to voters..

Rank choice voting is another option.

@@user-po2qb6cm9qNo it didn’t.

I voted for AV pkus

Labour largest party but short of a majority

Labour majority - landslide likely.

Labour majority of 8, hung parliament election in 5 years time

@@DC-YTC I think that's possible too. I reckon small Labour Majority or minority. But we will see

Based on the local election results, Hung parliament - Labour short by 20/30 seats.
