BBC News > "SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon just might have the biggest smile in the UK right now."
No, that will be super David Cameron.

I'm centre-left, but I'd say Milliband would have to go IMO. But lets not forget, the main losers here are your (and my) Liberal Democrats. They have been annihalated. Clegg needs to walk tomorrow. He's done an absolutely shit job.

This was explained on another channel an hour back. The pollsters call it churning. They reckoned LibDem voters hadn't switched to UKIP. UKIP's votes have from disgrunted Labour supporters, and than in staunch Labour seats such as in Sunderland, the UKIP vote also includes ex-Tories. LibDem voters have moved to Labour and Tory.
Labour hold Newcastle East... 4-2
Part of London with hardworking people getting up early every day to earn money for themselves and their families votes Tory shocker.

Centrica? Funny, I vote in Battersea and Justine is the MP in my neighbouring constituency. I once had to prepare briefing for Vernon Coaker when he was a Home Office Minister for a debate in which he was opposed by Justine Greening. I had to ring my own council for figures and other information to give him. I am on the opposite side to you, but I hope Vernon hangs on (he faces a tough challenge in Gedling).

Add Ed Balls, a key finance figure in driving up Government debt massively in the good times (worsening the effects of the recession) and also the flawed soft-touch supervision of the banks ... together they represented a turn off for all but the entrenched 33% who believe in Labour whatever the policies or failings.

Super David Cameron shows again that the electorate doesn't support the Tory party. Yes they are the largest party, but it will be 23 years since they won their last majority. The mandate will again be for left of centre politics and yet we will end up with a right of centre government.

Garbage. Putney is very mixed, with large council estates in Roehampton and Southfields. Justine Greening has spoken about reaching out to these areas. She already does a very good job. Please don't go talking about places you clearly don't know. Tiny swing to Labour in Tooting too. Sadiq Khan should have increased his majority by far more. Neil Kinnock now on the BBC making excuses.

Are you really clinging on to a quaint notion that Labour are 'left wing' ??
He's a complete bell end isn't he.
