Probably true. Even before all the campaigning all I heard was negative stuff about Ed. The more I listened to him, I liked him but I know others including my mum who said they just didn't want him running the country because he doesn't look or sound like a leader.

I've no idea of the relative numbers but that's embarrassingA hold for SNP. Lib Dems with 456 votes, comfortably behind the Scottish Christian Party. Aye, the Lib Dems are losing to the Christian Party.
right, that does it, i'm standing in 2020, I hearby declare the birth of the RedCafe Party.
I assumed the Christian party were one of those ones which might get like 500 across Scotland.
It's utterly embarrassing.
Hope so, but it is a 'solar lottery'.
and I actually found him likeable
. Man I hope that scotland hold another referendum. I'm sure that the fact hat 99% people voted for SNP and will get Tories will be enough for us to leave now. We might be worse off economically but well so what :/. Better than getting completely dicked this yearResult from my village:
Lab - 1
Con - 0
UKIP - ½
Lab - 1
Con - 0
UKIP - ½
Oh jeez no
Seriously, South Hams will never ever be anything other than Tory, it's the most expensive place to live outside of London. All big Tory voters but UKIP are growing stronger because of the scaremongering over the EU that the fisherman and farmers all love to hear.
Torbay has been Liberal for a while but always used to be Tory so if it was going to change it would be back to Tory. Lots and lots of UKIP now because of farming and fishing issues, and immigrants in Torbay (that most normal and rational people don't see as an issue) the UKIP scaremongering is strong down here.
The one guarantee I can make is that the South Hams and Torbay will NOT go to Labour. If either do I will eat my hat! (or not)
Did her phone just go off?

On the upside it seems we might soon have our first Portillo moment of the night, with Douglas Alexander's seat coming-up now...

Douglas Alexander's seat up now, a big one.
Surprising amount of pro-tories at work tonight. A lot of the vitriol was aimed at Miliband personally, mainly irrelevant and childish stuff. At the time I thought his brother would have been a much greater choice (and I knew nothing about them really) but it seems like my (then) ignorance is a fair reflection of other peoples' ignorance of today. Extremely poor choice of leadership.
Danny Alexander's seat!
That car is all over the road.
Douglas Alexander gone.
Jesus, annihilated.
Douglas FFS. Bloody jocks.
And she's done it! A 20 year old Politics student has beaten one of Labour's big dogs. It's a bloodbath.
I didn't think that Salmonds economic plans made sense at all...but now I am completely dismayed by the fact the cameron will be leading us again despite the WHOLE of SCOTLAND being against him. Its a complete fecking joke. I want out an I feel stupid for voting no right now.
Douglas Alexander gone.
Oh dear
That in itself is a piss take.
The youngest ever MP has ousted Labour's shadow foreign secretary. Incredible.
A fecking 20 year old has been elected to the Commons?Ridiculous.
My experience of the situation too.
I've actually grown to quite like him, but he doesn't have that 'authoritative' look of a Cameron. And that kind of thing is becoming more and more important.
Brooker always good value. Horse monsters.That is not the voice of a 20 year old woman
Beaten by a 20 year old candidate Labour are fecked.
Labour are fecked.That 20 year old lass must be absolutely shitting herself.
Scotland independent within a decade, nailed on.
Oh come on a 20 year old..idiots.
Wow Douglas Alexander got smashed by like 6,000 votes
Always had an irrational hatred of the smug little twat, but damn that's a big statement.

Thats just ridiculous
They could have put a dog up as a candidate and it would have probably won!

both are fairly accurate to be fair.How will the Sun play it i wonder...
Seriously feck this complete joke of an election. 20 year old wining the fecking vote.
That's astonishing. 20 year old student beating one of Labours heavier hitters.
Beaten by a kid.
Does she have exams/ coursework to catch up on after this?
Bullshit. You can't have your cake and eat it.Either voting SNP makes a difference and you said that's why you vote that way or it doesn't. I think it does but the biggest difference is in the way England votes because of it. Scotland voting SNP has cost Labour the election honestly I don't know how you can argue against the point, nothing else seems to have been discussed for the last 6 months.
