General Election 2015

[Vegas Seagull]

Saying still runs true...The sun is out and so are the Tories

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Where are the Greens meant to be gaining a seat?

I still doubt that, poss Bristol West if so

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Er, it's only a poll not the result

Very true.

But last time they got it fairly close.

This time it's harder to predict with the SNP and UKIP factors.

 

[Hillian1]

Oh well Gromit, fancy some cheese old boy?


Hahahahaha.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

And it's all gone quiet over there,
And it's all gone quiet over there,
And it's all gone quiet,
All gone quiet,
All gone quiet over there.

Good result for your lot.
Not a surprise, nothing compelling about the Labour campaign or Milliband.

Interesting to see if the ConDem coalition will get enough seats to carry on

 

[Bozza]

Please hold the for for me for a little while longer. I've not showered yet so I'm going out to do another run. A little lap of honour if you will.

 

[Simster]

Er, it's only a poll not the result

Results won't be much different. A handful of seats maybe.

 

[East Preston Gull]

If these polls are accurate, and there's no reason to believe they're not, it's a reflection of a number of quite a few sad things 1) How self centred the country has become, I live in hope that we become more caring about the less well off, but we don't do we 2) The influence of the press looms as large as ever. Actually, I'll leave it at 2 as I'm feeling sad.

I'll get my hanky!

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Libs Dem only 10, SNP have got 58 seats, interesting times ahead

No mention of the Tories Ernest - how strange !

And it's all gone quiet over there,
And it's all gone quiet over there,
And it's all gone quiet,
All gone quiet,
All gone quiet over there.

Oh yes, I forgot you were another one from the Bullingdon Club.

 

[Weststander]

Negativity of Ed M and Ed Balls (who was unsurprisingly kept out of sight over recent days), has done Lab, plus the shrewd campaign of Nicola Sturgeon. Lab's focus on the NHS and cuts, ignoring so many other important issues, was limited and played too much on differences in society.

Highlight of the election campaign - the brilliant Charlie Brooker comic take on it all, last night.

 

[peterward]

Not long to go now people - Bloodbath at Labour HQ, night of the long knives beckons

 

[Titanic]

SNP 58 would see some quite high profile Labour MPs on the after dinner speaking circuit

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Long term disaster for Labour, with UKIP jumping up to 100+ close 2nds up north and nicely placed to win next time around
Adios Mr Bean

 

[dazzer6666]

SNP domination of Scotland not really a surprise, and this is what potentially damages Labour. Still leaves Dave short of a majority, and the destroyed LibDems with insufficient to help him in a coalition with a workable majority. If exit poll is accurate (would only take a small margin of error to change things significantly) going to a few interesting days ahead. Fascinating.

 

[nwgull]

May I be the first:

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Second: snigger.

 

[Simster]

C4 just said Farage had previously been predicting "a couple of dozen" seats for UKIP.

Two would be a bit of a let down then, I imagine.

If Nick Clegg hasn't resigned yet, why hasn't he? Useless sixth form boy/****.

 

[Ernest]

Interesting that the YouGov exit poll puts the result as Tories 284, Labour 263 which seems more believable

 

[Titanic]

YouGov exit poll - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Harriet Harman has suddenly disappeared, hilarious
