Can't believe the tory scare tactics seem to have worked. Unbelievable
This is going better than expected but reminds me of the top four push. Don't trust it 'til it's in the bag.@Jippy steaming ahead in the great 'top GE15 poster' race. Nick's losing his early promise.
Lib Dems may have lost Yeovil too, that was one of the 10 the exit poll said they'd keep.
Jesus.
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.
Exit poll was wrong on Nuneaton
They said Lab would take it. Anything can happen now..What did it say?
"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.
They said Lab would take it. Anything can happen now..
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.fecking hell, if Labour were predicted to take it by that exit poll, they're fecked.
Yeah, but it's not happening. Labour are dying up here, and Scotland just won't go Tory.
Not at all, rebirth.Death of 'new labour'?
Hopefully. Could just as easily see a swing back that way.Death of 'new labour'?
People who didn't turn up perhaps.So, who have the pollsters actually been talking to all these weeks? Maybe their calls were answered by Siri.
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.
"Kingmakers"
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.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.
