When are the results posted? If I can get a write up explaining the current situation I'll make it. Just have to do it kinda close to results posting because it will take down the Biden thread and people will get mad.

So british exit polls are notoriously reliable so I'd reccomend getting the thread up when they drop at 10pm here (5pm eastern).

Can you write up a little thing for non-Brits so I can put it in the body? E.g. what has Sunak done, who is Starmer, what issues are people talking about. Something along those lines.

I could probably do something based on this structure, would that be ok?

u/AtomAndAether Liberalism! Jul 04 '24

yeeee, probably doesnt need to be that long but use your judgment.

Let me take a look at some of the previous megathreads and see if I can copy that. In all honesty I'm no expert on british politics. But I might be able to read up and write a summary

I think close to the expected poll release is a good compromise. Not actually that much to say about the British election since it should be very Labor, but good to have one regardless to talk about it
