Can't believe the tory scare tactics seem to have worked. Unbelievable
 
@Jippy steaming ahead in the great 'top GE15 poster' race. Nick's losing his early promise.
This is going better than expected but reminds me of the top four push. Don't trust it 'til it's in the bag.
 
I think we need more unity as a country. For Cameron to think that federalism will save the union will be silly, given that Blair made the same mistake with devolution.

Yeah, but it's not happening. Labour are dying up here, and Scotland just won't go Tory.
 
Tomorrow we round up Nigel Farage, George Galloway, Nick Clegg and every pollster in the country and we send them out to sea.
 
This bodes well for Crystal Palace...
 
The exit poll bloke is now suggesting that a Tory majority is a serious possibility. Even the exit poll expected the Nuneaton seat to swing to Labour. Depressing stuff.
 
What did it say?
They said Lab would take it. Anything can happen now..

"We were expecting a one-point swing to Labour in Nuneaton," says polling expert John Curtice. "In practice, with a three-point swing in their favour, the Tories have succeeded in defending this highly marginal seat. In practice, we now have to take seriously the possibility that the Tories could get an overall majority. "
 
@langster how was the feel around the people in your neck of the woods? i predict a couple of UKIP wins in the south.

Well my village will be Tory for it's local council seat and Tory again for the MP (South Hams) 100% Guaranteed. A few locals are UKIP but the vast majority are Tory. I took my lad to school today in Torbay that's usually Liberal but I get the feeling they are in trouble there too. Quite a few UKIP signs everywhere too. I know a fair few people who didn't vote today for various reasons, and I think a low turnout will be favourable for the Tories, especially in Torbay.
 
fecking hell, if Labour were predicted to take it by that exit poll, they're fecked.
They weren't predicted to take it, but there was at least supposed to be a swing towards them. There was actually a swing away.
 
Yeah, but it's not happening. Labour are dying up here, and Scotland just won't go Tory.

The UK government needs to be strong on the issue of British unity. If we stop toying with this (rejected) idea of Scottish independence, the SNP should become an irrelevance and there's no reason Labour cannot eventually come back. This might take time, but IMO it's necessary in the long term.
 
So, who have the pollsters actually been talking to all these weeks? Maybe their calls were answered by Siri.

How do you do that, though? If you continue to be strong about British unity, and presumably British nationalism in the process, you look like a hypocrite if you criticise the SNP for the same thing. The union is trying to be strong about British unity: it's just not working. In the long-term, it feels inevitable that Scotland will eventually go independent. Will still be quite a while, but it's feeling like something that's more and more likely barring serious reform within the UK.

That is not what i was hoping you would say, i was hoping that you were going to tell me that i can expect a labour swing down there, i think the tories are going to win down here too, possibly UKIP, i'll be shocked if it's labour.
 
This whole election is shit. I wish Scotland just went for independence. I can't believe I voted to stay in the UK right now. Vote SNP/Labpur and get Cameron ffs
 
Sturgeon's 'Tories out' agenda annoys me. Focus on your policies you little Scottish bitch.
 
Sturgeon trying hard not to grin.
