Sounds like Ed's leaving tomorrow. Who will replace him, I wonder? Surely not Ed Balls, since a) everyone fucking detests him and b) he'll then be tarnished by Brown and Miliband. I mean, it's not like he's made of rubber. He's made of shit. Shitty balls.

Ed Balls is now apparently odds on to lose his seat.

My money's on Burnham.

 

[Carl]

Conservatives too low, Lib Dems too high.

Yeah i added that in

How the hell has he lost the election already?

 

[Visualante2]

Murphy strikes me as quite genuine here. Maybe it's just a well prepared script.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Woo SNP got North Ayrshire! Can finally head to bed, Sturegeonmania running wild across the shop!

I'll wait for Ayr, Carrick & Cumnock then head. Should be SNP but will be good to see it confirmed.

 

[JonathanEx]

How the hell has he lost the election already?

Exit poll proving true and possibly an underestimate, basically.

 

[ANuclearError]

Murphy strikes me as quite genuine here. Maybe it's just a well prepared script.

Want to hear what he's like when he's campaigning for First Minister (assuming he's still actually leading then).

 

[Knoxcore]

So who replaces Ed Milliband? Surely he cannot stay? Frankly, I was one of those who thought he should of be gone before the election.

 

[Empty]

apparently david laws is in trouble. he has a 22.8% majority over a tory. what are lib dem voters doing?

 

[kmag]

Exit poll proving true and possibly an underestimate, basically.

I think it's pretty much on the money atm. maybe under seling the Tories about 6 or 10

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Murphy seemed pretty personable there.
Labour 17% down, SNP up 32%. 24% Lab>SNP swing.

 

[Delusibeta]

apparently david laws is in trouble. he has a 22.8% majority over a tory. what are lib dem voters doing?

Switching to either the Tories or UKIP.

 

[Kiever Sher]

20 year old MP on Sky news atm

 

[popo]

I really hope Vince Cable gets the bullet. He has been dining out on "I predicted the banking crash" for years and totally fucked the RM sale.

Even IF we got a referendum there will be a grotesque media blitz the likes of which this country has never seen. Every time a kipper sticks his head out over the parapet he'll get bombed and strafed like a panzer division during overlord.

It would be weird having 95% of the politicians campaigning for the same thing.

It will not happen though. It will go like the Scottish ref - with EU offering a load of concessions. It is just to be hoped that the EU don't leave it until the last minute like westminster did.

 

[caesar]

So is Labour fucked already? I was asleep.

 

[King_Moc]

apparently david laws is in trouble. he has a 22.8% majority over a tory. what are lib dem voters doing?

Voting Tory. I'd love to know why as well.

 

[Arksy]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

 

[Cyd0nia]

Andy Burnham would be a great leader IMO, but they do need to understand what's gone wrong here... And I'm not sure any of them do.

 

[fenners]

This is a gracious speech by Jim Murphy.

The handful of speeches I've heard by departing Labour MPs in Scotland have all been polite, gracious, forward thinking.

More of that a year ago could have helped.

 

[Danny 117]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

Certain

 

[Varion]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

As good as certain.

 

[Havel]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

99.9%

 

[Kiever Sher]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

1000000%

 

[Bony Manifesto]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

100%

 

[Empty]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

99.5%

 

[APZonerunner]

The Union surely can't survive this, right?

 

[Jezbollah]

Sky News: Labour Source: "Ed Miliband won't make it to tomorrow lunchtime"

WOW.

Dropped like a bad habit.

 

[Raynes]

A lot of glitches in BBC's broadcast and shitty cheapo CG. Unacceptable.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Ok, answer me this: How likely is it that Cameron remains as PM at this stage?

I think it's pretty likely he's staying now.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

So who replaces Ed Milliband? Surely he cannot stay? Frankly, I was one of those who thought he should of be gone before the election.

Almost certainly Andy Burnham. Ed Balls can't contest, David Miliband's career is basically over as of last time, Chuka and Tristram aren't ready yet. Burnham's closest competition is probably going to be Sadiq Khan.

 

[Heartfyre]

If Ed Miliband resigns, there's always a possibility that a Labour/SNP coalition could arise from it. Maybe.

This act of democracy is looking more like anarchy as the night goes on.

lol, thanks guys.

 

[maquiladora]

90%

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Curran gone too! So good, the feels.

Johann Lamont sends her sympathy

 

[Kinky John]

Margaret Curran up next on the chopping block.

 

[Carl]

So is Labour fucked already? I was asleep.

In a round about way, yes

 

[Jezbollah]

Conservatives hold Basildon & Billericay

Conservatives hold Rochford and Southend East (MY CONSTITUENCY)

Two big UKIP south essex targets not achieved.

Labour would need to find another 10-15 seat. They ain't getting that.

 

[| Praxis |]

I'd have voted for her eyebrows on bbc.

 

[CyclopsRock]

where's that "who cares?" gif??

 

[GazzaScotland]

Who have we got left to go? Danny Alexander and Charles Kennedy are the big two that come to mind.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Lunchtime is too long, should Malcolm Tucker him completely. He won't make it to see the sun rise!!!!!

 

[pootle]

Glasgow North East is probably SNP. They're not saying it is yet but they're very confident.

NOOOOOO! Don't say it till it happens! I'm not going to last another half hour at this rate

 

[ZombieFred]

Conservatives hold Basildon & Billericay

Congratulations Dan

 

[DECK'ARD]

The Lib Dems house of cards was wonderful.

Don't knock the CG, it's part of the charm of election nights and I wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[kmag]

Labour actually doing okay in London, they'll probably pick up 6 or 8 seats there. It's not enough.

 

[Jezbollah]

Congratulations Dan

Thank you.

 

[fenners]

With Murphy gone, is it time to switch to the national BBC coverage? Or should I wait for all of Glasgow....

Either way, my glass needs a refill...
