General Election 2015

I find the Hove one hard to believe

Agree. And kemp town.

If Labour can't win those two, it's curtains for Miliband.

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

That is the first time I've smiled tonight

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.

Not the accent making counting quicker then?

 

[Bry Nylon]

Nothing else to do?

Looks like that's the first time most of them have been anywhere near a sports hall since 2010.

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

Cowley Club would be funnier though!

The Australian urging people to not rush into government-forming decisions. As if she is likely to have anything to do with it.

Who used to call Andrew Neil "brillo pad"?

 

[ROSM]

So lib dems could be all but decapitated

I think from what I've seen that there are 40 seats that bbc are giving to cons from lib dem and labour that local people are saying it's too close to call

Private Eye and possibly others

I live in hope, but Peter Kyle has proven himself to be a rising star of the Labour party.

Private Eye still publish that picture of him in a vest with Pamella Bordes

...someone's got to make the tea.

Peter Kellner is spot on, 310 seats is enough to form minority government. No need for coalition. I would have expected labour to form a minority if they'd got 290

 

[Hampster Gull]

Eyes getting tired. Do i go for my first beer or a cup of tea?

First thing I look for when it lands through the door.

As if she should have anything to do with it.

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.

Read something interesting today that AV would have actually help the Tories tonight. If used in the UK (due to our voting behaivour) it would probably lead to majority Governments.

But wouldn't get the controversial stuff through

Does anyone understand it though?

But not according to Ed Balls
