General election 2015

If they aren't careful?! Far too late for that, this is the end and was always going to happen - they'd lost a few deposits in by elections already. Looking forward to Clegg losing his seat and Ashdown eating his hat. This is what you get for facilitating a Tory government.

Damn. Wishful thinking there. Still, there are virtually no other senior Lib Dems left.

So Conservative minority government it is then. Something tells me there won't be a coalition with the Lib Dems this time.

"Duncaster Norse" - Ed Miliband

Fucking hell, how has the outlook got even worse than last night? The exit poll now looks like it was generous on Labour.

ukip nationally will have gained 3.5 m votes and will only end up with one or two seats. meanwhile the snp will have 1.5m votes but 56 seats....

go on the pound!

Whatever you think of UKIP, that is a terrible indictment of the political system we have.

“If we have lost this election, we lost it from 2010 when in the six months from 2010 we failed to nail the lie that the Labour government had been responsible for the global meltdown and everything that happened in the US, France, Greece, Italy, Portugal, was the Labour government’s fault.”
-David Blunkett

Given the situation in 2010 and the Tories' rule since, it is unforgiveable that Labour haven't capitalised on this.

Oh fuck. I've just woken up. Please tell me I am still asleep and this is a dream.

look on the brightside....market has reacted well

lets see if nigel farage steps down within 10 mins if he doesn't get this thanet south seat...it's coming up

Clusterfuck

The greedy, venal cunts party look to have won- not surprising that the markets are happy about it.

Bugger.

Click your heels three times Dorothy...

:(

Back to bed for 4 years?

Edit- Rupa huq for labr just edged in by .5% locally, lets see if cherlie brooker's sister in law has got any gumption.

Oh well, the NHS was good while it lasted.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

Five more years of Gove, Pickles, May, Hunt. Urgh.

Fucking Gideon, five more years of that fucking cunt Gideon.

And Cameron's fucking smug condom head. Fuck this.

in 1996 when Labour won.

Pretty sure it was 1997...

A recount for Ed Balls' constituency.

I'd like to go to bed soon. :(

Fuck

If the SNP and Labour vote en masse could they counter the most egregious of the Con policies - making the poor eat their own young etc?

i actually feel sorry for the lib dems.
i'm just waiting for ashdown to eat this hat of his

Not if conservative get a majority as they look set to. Strong voting discipline of torys means the leader almost always gets whatever they want passed so we will get a whole heap of awful for the next 5 years.

May you and your family hold on to your health.
May you hold on to your job.
May you keep a roof over your head.
Because if you slip.. you're fucked.

I'm (ignoring the second gen immo aspect) white, middle class, educated, well paid - I have private medical insurance etc etc, and I really think that this result is a fucking disaster.

Of well, off to work.

don't you work for a bank? surely the tories will benefit you in some way...
