Only five more years of Dave at least. then it's Boris time.

As somebody that lives in a rural town made up largely of second homes, with very few job opportunities and a child on the way, this is not good news.

 

[nib95]

When does the South West start being called? I want to see Bath!

 

[twobear]

I think you're being slightly too pessimistic. I definitely don't think that's an impossible description. But yes, the UK left has taken a massive blow tonight, absolutely massive.

i see paying for GP visits by 2020, NHS dismantled/privatised by 2030

causing the biggest economic recession since 1929 didn't stop this toxic economic dogma; i don't see what else can now

Accept that the current democratic consensus is against you, and be willing to moderate your views in return for getting a relatively better government and/or the chance of electoral reform? Best you can do for the time being.

 

[Heartfyre]

I'm closing my eyes to the trainwreck and getting some sleep while Labour are still technically leading. I hope it'll remain the same when I wake up, but I'm not hopeful. Not hopeful at all.

The morning brings a new Britain, ladies and gentlemen. Here's hoping it's a better one.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Lol Forza Cardiff might end up with more MPs than the LDs.

 

[Ashes]

blood letting . lol.

 

[mclem]

At 4:00AM, I am finally comfortable in formally calling this election for SLEEEEEEEEP.

 

[FATALITY]

as a Portuguese studying in UK im fucked right?

Or emigrate.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Recession in a year. Privatisations galore. NHS gone. The disabled and poor hammered again.

The joys.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Clegg has arrived at his count. Here we go!

 

[Simply Sarah]

Wanting to keep the NHS is an extremist position now?

 

[kmag]

as a Portuguese studying in UK im fucked right?

You'll be working in Tory salt mines by Monday.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Labour is coming back lads I'm telling you, there's another one

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Or emigrate.

I mean, I'm British/Australian, so my choice is this or Abbott.

...oh, the choices.

 

[Jezbollah]

Lynne Featherstone lost her seat

the left has accepted moderated views and relatively better governments since 1997 and it's just handed them the most disastrous loss in a generation. 'vote for centre left and hope it gets better!' has failed as a plan and the result is that the country is now beyond the point of recovery.

 

[AngryMoth]

Almost feel sorry for Nick Clegg having to make a public appearance under these circumstances...almost.

Will be some nice salt in the wound if he loses his seat

 

[painey]

lets hope Clegg loses and fucks off for good

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

That Labour cheer, my poor ears.

as a Portuguese studying in UK im fucked right?

UKIP votes up, so: "You're here to steal our damn jobs!"

We don't all think that way, though. I promise <3

 

[Arksy]

I mean, I'm British/Australian, so my choice is this or Abbott.

...oh, the choices.

As an Aussie liberal, I'd probably take Cameron.

 

[Varion]

Clegg has arrived at his count. Here we go!

Oh boy oh boy

 

[kmag]

I mean, I'm British/Australian, so my choice is this or Abbott.

Yeah your fucked. Even Canada is out of the question

 

[CyclopsRock]

Something about Simon Hughes makes my skin crawl. He looks like sausage meat stuffed into a condom.

but but i just want finish my studies and go home ffs

 

[Psychotext]

Lol Forza Cardiff might end up with more MPs than the LDs.

What's Forza Cardiff?

 

[Jezbollah]

Looks like Simon Hughes is toast too.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Glasgow Central's time to shine!

Fake Edit: well done Alison! Another SNP seat!

 

[Maledict]

Lynne Featherstone is a genuine loss. Thanks to her we got gay marriage, and having met her personally she comes across as an incredibly passionate and dedicated MP.

No, it got landslide victories in three successive elections. 2010 did not represent a particularly centrist Labour.

 

[Kiever Sher]

I really need to get to bed but I can't stop watching, why is this so riveting

 

[Ding-Ding]

Bloody hell, Conservatives kept Hastings (its the constituency next to me). Everyone there was expecting it to turn red, as it is a very poor area for the south coast. Even seeing the results thus far I was still waiting it to go Labour.

 

[Beefy]

Can any one see anything else then a yes to exiting Europe happening? The UKIP votes are crazy high in a lot of places.

 

[CyclopsRock]

What's Forza Cardiff?

Heh Plaid Cymru.


HUGHES IS GONE.

 

[kmag]

Something about Simon Hughes makes my skin crawl. He looks like sausage meat stuffed into a condom.

The straight choice.

 

[offshore]

That really sucks about Lynne Featherstone; prob one of the most genuine MPs there is.

 

[Jezbollah]

SIMON HUGHES, Lib Dem deputy leader is GONE.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Simon Hughes gone, what a glorious disaster for the Lib Dems tonight (the past five years) has been

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Lib Dems are gone. Absolutely gone. If they can't defend Bermondsey, they have essentially nothing. This is absolute destruction on an unbelievable scale, we're watching the death of a political party in real time.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Can any one see anything else then a yes to exiting Europe happening? The UKIP votes are crazy high in a lot of places.

Yeah but the number of votes that aren't UKIP are significantly higher. I personally doubt we'll leave.

 

[Mr Cola]

Any danger for Clegg?

 

[painey]

imagine losing your job of 32 years because people think your boss is a cunt. harsh.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Lib Dems are gone. Absolutely gone. If they can't defend Bermondsey, they have essentially nothing. This is absolute destruction on an unbelievable scale, we're watching the death of a political party in real time.

As a student of history.. what a time to be alive.

But really, wow. An absolute Lib Dem massacre.

 

[Jezbollah]

Watching the Lib Dems tonight is like watching Shang Tsung do that soul removal fatality in Mortal Kombat.

 

[kmag]

Lib Dems are gone. Absolutely gone. If they can't defend Bermondsey, they have essentially nothing. This is absolute destruction on an unbelievable scale, we're watching the death of a political party in real time.

In hindsight, the surprising thing is that we're surprised. They didn't differentiate themselves for 4 and half years so Lib Dem voters who were happy just seem to have moved to the Tories.

 

[Delusibeta]

Any danger for Clegg?

"Very close" is the word. Probably heading to a recount.

 

[FATALITY]

Yeah but the number of votes that aren't UKIP are significantly higher. I personally doubt we'll leave.

thats the only thing i care about.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Any danger for Clegg?

I think we can say Yes. LD losses in the 20+% range in a lot of places
