What do YOU think will happen in the UK poll tonight?

Will the Torries and Brexiters get their teeth kicked in? Will Labor gain seats? If the conservatives lose control do you think there will be another Brexit referendum vote?

Give us your thoughts and predictions!

5 more years of Austerity . 5 years of Boris Johnson as the Prime Minstrel .I sure hope I'm wrong . The polls have tightened - but not quite enough for a Hung Parliament

Corbyn is a gift to Boris Johnson, who will very likely win.

Labour needs to clean up its act.

I'd like to see the Liberal Democrats surge. They offer the advantage of sane leadership and a firm anti-Brexit stance.
