My dear is a Labour, Libs and Scottish National coalition.  The nation will be ruined with votes upon votes

What time will we begin to tell who’s won?

Might be being thick here right, but where do they do these exit polls? 
 

Me, nor anybody I’ve ever met has been a part of one. Is it select seats that could go either way? Is it done at random constituencies? I’m genuinely interested.

The United Kingdom and Britain will be dead. Wearing black to symbolise the demise of a once great nation although under Labour that maybe considered racist/zionist/imperialist behaviour so a maybe sent to the gulag.

 

I can be re-educated on the British empire.

I believe it's basically at a select number of polling stations in a select number of constituencies. Whatever it is they do, most of the time it's pretty close.

About 100-150 swing seats across the country. Then they compare it with the swing of the last exit poll and various data on leave/remain to produce a probability.

 

Though this could all fall to pieces tonight.

 

According to Tory journos Raab and Redwood in big trouble. If that's true Lib's are sweeping up Tory votes 

 

According to Labour journos Pidcock in big trouble. If Tories are close to winning ME Durham then the red wall is probably going to fall.

They are normally done in marginal constituencies.

Blimey. If it's a secure Tory majority it would be great to be honest. 

 

The membership would effectively be able to pick the new PM for the five years.

Shame the thickos in Islington dont change their allegiance from comrade Corbyn.

 

The celebrities in London like Stormzy, Lilly Allen and co can send food parcels out to the rest of the UK when we lose our jobs and I hope their redistributed wealth pays for my mortgage.

Thick question klaxon here as well

 

What happens if Boris, as current PM, loses his own seat in his own constituency?

Depends if they win a majority or not. If they don't I imagine he resigns. I think it's more likely that they do still anyway, and then I think the expectation is that they have a different Conservative MP resign in a safer seat to force a by-election for him to win?
