Scottish National Party Set to Lose 22 Seats in Snap Election – Exit Poll

Pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP) is forecast to lose 22 seats in the House of Commons to stand at 34, a early exit poll has shown.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The poll by Ipsos MORI/GfK for Sky News, BBC and ITV News showed early on Friday that the far-right UKIP was on its way out of the Commons, with Liberal Democrats projected to add six seats to stand at 14.

British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to lose her majority in the UK lower parliament, according to the final exit poll. May called the snap election to deliver a mandate going into negotiations over Britain's exit from the European Union, in a bid to give her an advantage in the discussions in Brussels.
