Foregone conclusion...
It was supposed to be a formality of a snap election. Conservatives leader, Theresa May was attempting to strengthen her majority ahead of Brexit talks, when she called an election 3 years early. And who was going to stop her? Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn was seen as a lame duck challenger. You'll be lucky if 10% of the electorate could name the UKIP or Lib Dev leaders.
What could possibly go wrong for the Conservatives?
Exit Stage left?
Well the exit polls suggest ALOT has gone wrong for the Tories!
I won't get too carried away as the night is still young. And Exit Polls are known to have been incorrect in the past. However if I wake up tomorrow morning to a hung parliament, expect some major volatility in the markets. A hung parliament has not been priced in.
Crypto bounce?
The Pound plunged against the Euro and Dollar immediately after the Exit Poll.
I've already had a couple of unexpected texts from a non-crypto friend, who is generally well-informed. Word on the grapevine is we could see some interesting action in the cryptocurrency markets tomorrow. This is coming from a guy that has no dealing in cryptocurrencies whatsoever. Watch this space, if parliament is hung, we could be in for a very interesting weekend.
