Ulster's Opportunity?
So the exit poll results have just come in, with the Conservatives projected to get 307 seats. That's 19 short of the notional majority of 326 seats, although of course the absence of Sinn Fein's MPs lower that margin, probably to 324.
What that means, if true, is that whilst the DUP on their own wouldn't be able to guarantee anyone a majority, our local MPs could certainly be in the mix. That would be either as part of a Unionist plus Scottish and Welsh nationalist group propping up the Conservatives or, alternatively, a similar rainbow coalition propping up a Lib-Lab pact.
As they always say, it's only a poll - the next few hours should prove fascinating.
