General Election 2015

[Bozza]

Ed Balls is an utter embarrassment. Again, it becomes clear why Labour tried to keep him out of sight during this campaign.

I like Jeremy Vine's "follow the blue-bricked road."

A nice addition this year.

Oh well I'm going to get STUCK into a MASSIVE Large Full English in the Cliftonville in the morning WASHED down with a LAGER Top

Are you going to have a side order of HUMBLE PIE?

Exit poll claiming Baker's a goner.

BBC reckon the Tories going to hold Kemp Town and Hove as well as get Lewes

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

BBC has Lewes, Hove and Kemp town all Tory.

Really?

Ed Balls is an utter embarrassment. Again, it becomes clear why Labour tried to keep him out of sight during this campaign.

His comments just then were an affront to democracy and British traditions of fair play and decency.

 

[Don Quixote]

I can't believe kemptown and lewes will be tory.

 

[TomandJerry]

I don't believeeeeee it!

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

The Carlton Club is going mental. If 2/3s of Brighton is blue, that is astounding.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Why are northerners so good at counting?

Really?? IMHO this again questions to voracity of the exit poll.

I find the Hove one hard to believe

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Exit poll claiming Baker's a goner.

He had a 7000 majority last time, but results already in (all 3 of them) suggest the Lib Dems are getting a hammering.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Ooooo .... Lewes to turn blue ! Bye bye liar Baker !

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

It's early days, and only an exit poll.

BUT the Tories backed by a Unionist party compared to Labour backed by a party who wants to break the Union. Very, very different circumstances.

That is true, but even as a Tory I am just as uncomfortable with the idea of my party having to govern with a party only standing in one part of the country as I would be with a Labour-SNP deal. I think whatever happens we will finally have to face up to changing to some kind of proportional representation. I would also like to see far more decentralisation within England, with an English parliament and things like hospitals and schools run at county level. Yes, people would complain about postcode lotteries, but it might make more people go out and vote.

Why are northerners so good at counting?

They've got six fingers

 

[Hampster Gull]

Why are northerners so good at counting?

Nothing else to do?

 

[Dick Head]

no chance even if he tried alot of his own mps would vote him down would be political suicide .Labour needs to rebuild and come back stronger in 2020

Or November?

Densely populated constituencies so no huge distances to get boxes, also the Labour majorities in those specific seats are so large they can be incredibly sloppy with the voting as a few votes here and there cannot make an impact.
