General Election 2015

[Ernest]

Lots of chickens being counted before eggs have hatched on this thread.

When are the first results expected from some of the marginal seats? Anyone know?

The BBC all over the place, this idiot counting the results on the map as if they've all happened

Maybe that was why Labour kept him out of the spotlight. That, or the fact he is a massive liability.

The latter Balls has an answer for everything - bitter, anti-Tory jibes. His personality is a vote loser.

We don't struggle with the supplementary vote in London for the mayor.

Is the London system the same as the AV referendum system? I didn't think it was.

But Labour being wiped out in Scotland, a near cert, means Labour winning a few English marginals is not a game changer for them.

It's not always about support. It's if anyone is prepared to shout it down.

You are right, but labour, SNP and the Greens will vote against. I would expect the DUP and Lib Dems to ask the Tories what's in it for them. If the Exit poll is right and the lib Dems lose all but 10 of their seats, it will be mostly to the Tories. A clear message from their voters re the last election and their backing of the Tories. Back them again and they could be wiped out. My opinion is that the Tories will have somewhere near 300 seats by the morning.

I doubt on 310 or 316 that any party would back a minority Tory government through the Queens speech, DUP already saying it would cost the Tories if they wanted their help. The Tories would need the Lib Dems at least

Parties would have to look at the alternative. Are the Lib Dems really going to vote against them, in the hope that our country gets a weak Labour minority instead? That would be ridiculous. The public wouldn't accept a Labour minority of 240 seats.

I would expect the DUP and Lib Dems to ask the Tories what's in it for them.

And the Tories would reply 'your country being governed by a stable government - would you prefer it to be governed by a Labour minority that got 240 seats?'

I would expect that parties will not support the Tories and make it difficult for them to get anything done and a another election with in a year, giving Labour a chance to get a decent leader.

Said the other day that there was f*ck all good about Swindon - still stand by that.

Labours history

Edited for you

 

[Weststander]

One things for sure, it'll be back to the two-horse race. Lib Dems will be back to their traditional single figure share of the vote. How many of their well-meaning supporters will trust them ever again? And these people are hardly likely to drift to the right, which is all good news for Labour.

All good news for Labour.

The only way Labour will ever gain power again is by electing another Tory-lite like Blair as leader.
