John Lambies Doos Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Probably already mentioned but we won't be hearing any results until Sunday.Will there be an exit poll, or perhaps that won't be allowed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think we will have the majority of votes in Friday morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voters in Ireland turn out the following day. Those in the Czech Republic, Latvia, Malta and Slovakia vote on May 25 and the remaining 21 EU nations cast their ballots on May 26. The results from every nation will be released on the evening of May 26 after the last polling station in the continent is closed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible our results could skew the turnout in other countries, say by spurring on Nationalist Populist voters if the Brexit Party do well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have a choice as all EU counts must take place at the same time. Some areas might to the first verification count on the Thursday before the ballot papers are locked away till all polls close on Sunday. Then it is the actual count time. All to do with the possibility of known results affecting voting in other countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wee Frees are allowed to do Fridays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Wonder how they do the count? I'd imagine the votes are counted locally and sent to a regional centre and stuffed into a computer. Hope it's not some guy in Dingwall with a pencil and slide rule. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Scotland announce/count their results on the Monday whilst the rUK on the Sunday due to Na h-Eileanan Iar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely at least the Tories are pro Brexit. A lot of the MPs and most definitely the grass roots. Labour is harder to judge but I see Corbyn as pro Brexit. There seems to be more of a split in his party and supporters though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of leadership, MPs, party members and party voters I think they are both all over the place. I genuinely could not even call the Conservative Party as a whole pro-Brexit. That’s why they will take a thumping on Thursday. I will make this prediction, if Boris Johnson becomes PM there will not be a clear No Deal Brexit. It’s one thing to posture and pontificate, it’s another to lead the country into a potential economic crisis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could be. They seem too committed to delivering some variation of May's deal and Brexit in some form. I certainly wouldn't vote for them as a remainer because at the very least, nobody can tell what they really stand for on this and thus, what they will actually agree to/deliver.
