Hollow victory geez. Plus I've got to go to Hull this weekend, shit times all round.

- Thread starter langster
- Start date
SNP came second in shetland and still won a 24% swing!

It's an incredibly ingrained Lib Dems seat. Sheep are very liberal apparently.
I've literally seen/heard zero people say that they voted for the conservatives, what's that about? Not from the UK but I've been looking on twitter and on here and it's just everyone raging, where are all the people who actually voted for the conservatives?!
Dunno, never really heard once from him of late despite him being apparently a shadow justice minister. I suppose he would be immune to the "only ever worked in politics" attack that many of the Labour higher ups have been used to, but unless he's a great communicator and such as well then it seems a leap. I don't think there's much to choose from right now to be honest, worried about the future.
Labour only got 600 more votes than UKIP in the Shetlands.
THe US has minimum ages of 25, 30, and 35 to be elected to Congress, the Senate, and Presidency respectively. I just can't imagine believing a 20 year old is a good candidate for government. In the US, she couldn't even drink or gamble (in some places and certain games).
Five more SNP seats and I get £500.
Is it a bet or will David Cameron literally take it from the NHS to give it to you?
Middle aged and elderly people.
In my office, mainly. Can't wait for that next week.
Maybe it was all those dogs at the polling stations.
Orkney letting us down
Please can Clegg get ousted.
If you're like me, you probably follow primarly younger people, Northerners, and football writers. All three will skew heavily left.
Suppose it would make his job of resigning easier.
that girl carrying coffee across the screen!!
Labour voters going nuts. Why?
Lib Dems have lost something like £47,000 in deposits. Oh dear.
Even without its opposition to independence, policies such as these will hardly have endeared the SNP to those on the Orkney and Shetland.

What actually happens to MPs once they lose their seat?
The old git of question time just got caught saying "for gods sake" when the BBC camera came back, bet he was having a right strop the elite puppet Eton/Bullingdon swine. Would have loved to have seen the full behind the scenes there.
They've got jobs for the next five years!
They won a throw-in
Lynne Featherstone loses her seat.
Tesco.
Good scalp for Labour.
Christ, RAWK's coverage of the election is soddin' depressing. It feels like shooting yourself would be viewed as too optimistic.
They get turned into batter and fed to Eric Pickles.
How are there so many people voting for more than one candidate?
How do so many people feck up their ballots?
Hughes gone.
Better hope none of the Welsh can read English or they'll invade.
Bye bye Simon Hughes.
Sarwar gone, another big scalp. Salmond wins.
I've worked for Tesco, I can tell you thats a fate marginally worse then being fed to Eric Pickles
Simon Hughes loses seat
32 years then Nick Clegg happens
