Last point for now, but for all the rejoicing about polls, British politics can drift into a very difficult place from here. I call it the Death Zone, and the heatmap of probable results is drifting perilously close to it. Here's what I mean. /THREAD
Death Zone (1) tiny Con working majority, or just short. Enough to pass the WAB, get #Brexit, not enough to pass all the critical enabling legislation or extend transition. Risks of crashing out of transition rise sharply.
Death Zone (2) Cons on say 314, enough to cling to office but not to pass the WAB. Have to extend #Brexit again, have another GE in early spring perhaps. Still pretty deadly threat to all the political parties.
Death Zone (3) Labour minority govt without the votes to pass a referendum. Govt collapses in short order, new GE either under them or some sort of caretaker PM. The EU looks on in horror. Don't know what happens.
That's a pretty narrow tunnel, but if those vote share lines stay on their present course, just happens to map pretty much where you end up by the end of tomorrow. Real threat of that heat map becoming just another desert full of mirages. /END
