UK General Election 2015 | Conservatives win with an overall majority
- Thread starter langster
- Start date
I've kinda been switching between BBC 1 and 2 since we have separate Scottish/UK coverage.
They were quite sure it was wrong in 2010 as well when it showed their seats going down, but proved pretty much right. Still, with an election this tight, mistakes are easier to make. But that works in both ways of course...
Even if he's wrong we'll get to see a man eat a hat. Which really is the true meaning of democracy in my eyes.
It is a curious thing, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

Lord Ashdown has said he will eat his hat if the exit poll is correct.BBC. Has Sky got Kay Burley on it? Reason enough not to watch.

Who's this smug twat with the map?
History Channel, I fancied a change watching a government that put a price above the head of disabled in grainy black and white after 5 years of it in HD colour.
Watching this BBC coverage, they have a nice tile map of the UK showing everything. In the US, they'd have a hologram map that can be adjusted by thought or something. Gotta improve your production value, guys.
1,100 votes for LD in Sunderland Central
2-0
Labour improve majority in two strongholds.
Labour 2-0. Conservatives might as well quit now before it gets embarrassing.
Poor lib dems (snigger)
This is gonna be a whitewash at this rate
I am going to sleep as am due to travel a 350 miles tomorrow but things better change by the time I wake up as this exit poll is bullshit!
I'd like to see how things play out in the marginal seats, how UKIP impact the Tory vote.
Just call an end to it now. 2-0, press escape and take the 3-0 loss now.

If the exit poll was correct, could have a lot of UKIP voters who maybe went back to the Tories in the end.
It's just gone back to 1-0 on Sky News App.

UKIP with 7,000 votes in Sunderland, not close in terms of unseating the incumbent but 6,000 clear of the Lib Dems.
Ukip up 17 .What a waste.
One of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them: It is a well known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. Anyone who is capable of getting themselves into a position of power should on no account be allowed to do the job. Another problem with governing people is people.

exactly.
everyone needs to take a hit in a cut to make it fair, the problem is taking £500 a year off the poor more has far more of an impact than the taking it off the rich, but again, that's capitalism.
the worst off in any election and the worst off under any government is the working/middle class, they end up picking up the tab for both at either end of the scale, regardless of who's in power. if it's the tories you just make the rich richer, if it's labour you make the poorer better off. you still end up working just as hard in the hope to have as much spending money as possible once your bills have been paid every month. the state of the country at the time dictates which one serves you best.
The unknown threat posed by UKIP in the north could be a pivotal factor tonight.
Hypocritical how? Because people have moaned about the press? Calling those who partake in that disgusting act "snobs" and complaining about the press saying Jimmy Savile is more trustworthy than Miliband is really comparable, isn't it?
There shouldn't even be a debate about it ffs.
What's happened? Has Mourinho won 1-0 yet?
Maybe. Labour's best hope is that UKIP have taken important votes away from the Conservatives -- especially if SNP get 58/59.
On The Guardian the other day they were saying we'll know how good or bad the Lib Dems have done about 2am when they have the results of some marginal seats.

Fitting that the BBC are abbreviating the Tories to 'Con'
