There is no point staying up for this now is there? Its basically as good as over.
UK General Election 2015 | Conservatives win with an overall majority
- Thread starter langster
- Start date
Most of the 45% will have stuck with SNP, whereas the union vote would be fragmented. Plus, you'll get some No voters who were worried about the risks of independence, but know there's no such risk to an SNP vote for a UK general election.
Not to mention that if there's a small decrease in turnout, those who aren't voting may be No voters who aren't as passionate about politics as Yes voters.
Plus Labour have generally been terrible up here since the referendum, and have had a pretty awful campaign.
So, the UKIP candidate in Tooting is called Przemek De Skuba Skwirczynski. Did he sign up for the right party?
That exit poll man is a smug git.
That's very generous Nick to say the least. Bit baffled- no-one has updated the exit poll in over an hour, the dishevelled professor type on BBC has no clue and there is a very mixed pattern of Lab, Con, SNP and Ukip taking seats off LibDems?
It was the same year that we spunked the title to Leeds, I cried all afternoon when we lost to the scousers.
Why is this geezer on the BBC talking to down to the panel from upstairs?
After 4 years of sleeping with the enemy they just don't care any more. Like an occasional weed user who is now a crack whore shagging anything that moves for a dime bag?
Probably.
Saying tories could get 323 . Worse than expected.
Too right
Yep, that's it, that's the one that stabs you right in the heart.
The Tories might well win so it is back to the days or Upstairs Downstairs?
Labour took a pasting in Battersea!
If you spoiled your ballot you could have been non-referenced as the Beeb zoned out as the returning officer droned on.
We're fecked. The pollsters and projectionists have got it completely wrong.
This is turning into an utter trouncing.
That Battersea result is the nail in the coffin. I'm beginning to fear it might even be a majority.
Tristram, the good Labour man of the people.Associated Press saying that it's all Glaston's fault.
Possibly the next Labour leader (Tristram Hunt) talking on the BBC now.
What the feck is this cnut talking about?
Yeah I can see these exit polls being cock on... maybe even a 1 or 2 more for Conservatives (doubt it'll be a majority though)... and so with that, time for some kip!
I know, unless something drastic happens in the next couple of hours we are all fecked.
No fecking way.
You serious?The drunken funny thought is for all those Scots who thought they could vote SNP and have a " strong voice " in the UK, well done how is that working out for you under a Cameron DUP government. I'm not bitter though the wine is easing the pain. At least my kids are grown up so it won't cost me a dime when Cameron butchers child benefit.
wait....what?!?!
Times like this I'm happy we got independence. Unlucky Scotland.
F*ck, I was hoping it'd be Charlemagne Plantagenet.
I think they're waiting for some of Labour's must-wins to declare, so as to either support or disprove the model. In particular there are several marginals in London and the North West.
This Labour guy is delusional.
Andrew Neill: "You're fecked, boy"
Labour MP Tristram Hunt: "We're entering the most exciting phase of the night!"
Andrew Neill: "You're fecked, boy"
Labour MP Tristram Hunt: "We're entering the most exciting phase of the night!"
Yup, got it staggeringly wrong. There was one prediction this morning that suggested the Tories would do much better than projected, it looked extremely optimistic for the Tories but still only gave them 305~ seats.
One prediction I'll make is that the right of the Labour party will be hugely strengthened by this, it's back to Blairism now.
If Labour ever have a leader with the first name of Tristram, then they may as well just fecking quit.
What an utter feckwit
If Labour kept every seat the SNP took from them, they still wouldn't be on track to form a government.
The only alternative is Andy Burnham. Possibly Chuka Umunna too, but he seems to go down among voters as a bit too smarmy.
