Support NeoGAF

[MrRoflWaffles]

Boos for UKIP in Sunderland Central?

 

[tomtom94]

But then shouldn't they have swung to Labour or Greens? Looks like they've moved to Conservative or UKIP? Doesn't make sense.

Last election the protest vote swung left, this year it swings right in response.

 

[Bumhead]

GOAL!

LABOUR

2-0!!!!

 

[Humidex]

Ahhahaha, Green > LD again!

A lot of Lib Dem voters tend to be young so I wouldn't be surprised if a fair few just didn't vote after last time.

 

[Carl]

Lib Dems did well in that seat!

 

[pashmilla]

I know someone at work who is a staunch Conservative voter, and he's completely broke. Like, been in the pay-day loan cycle for years kind of broke.

I don't get it.

"temporarily embarrassed millionaires"

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Could it be that those who voted LibDem last time have switched over to the Greens?

 

[mr-paul]

Labour are 2-0 up!

 

[SuperSah]

Second Lab seat in Sunderland.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Fuck they do this for all seats

Ridiculous

I don't get it.

It's the temporarily-embarassed millionaire mentality

 

[Empty]

better swing there for labour

Live updates from 538 with live election result modelling.

Squat here to see if things look to be going how the exit poll suggests.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

libdems got reckt

 

[GazzaScotland]

Another deposit loss for the Lib Dems.

 

[Socrates92]

2-0 to Labour. Time to park the bus, lads.

 

[DECK'ARD]

LibDems being wiped out.

 

[Black Republican]

damn we need a healthy wad of votes to come in

 

[CyclopsRock]

Once again, the Tory loss is way smaller than the UKIP gain.

Turnout's pretty shit, too, so it's not like they're a load of new voters, unless a load of Lib Dems all stayed at home which I guess they must have - it's not like many will have moved from Lib to UKIP.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

A lot of Lib Dem voters tend to be young so I wouldn't be surprised if a fair few just didn't vote after last time.

They are swinging to UKIP.

I will never understand how that can happen

 

[dapperbandit]

Oh man, the Spectator live blog room:

It has everything I love - wood-panelled walls, old-world charm and gorgeous posh totty.

Fucking Doritos?

Not even Kettle Chips, what the fuck is this? I thought these people were sophisticated, I'll never read the Spectator again!

 

[nib95]

Sunderland central with 18k between Conservative and UKIP, kinda worrying. I wonder if England may have shifted further right. Seems like UKIP is picking up some big swings here...

 

[The Llama]

Watching BBC World News in the US... jeez I hope you people actually in the UK have better coverage than this, this is pretty dreadful to watch haha.

 

[Visualante2]

Is it time to start keeping track of how many deposits Lib Dems are losing tonight?

 

[RedShift]

Fuck they do this for all seats

Ridiculous

They won't later. It's only because they have nothing else to talk about.

Lib Dems lose another deposit.

 

[GJS]

Thinking about the results of the exit poll I can't actually say it is surprising. It is only surprising because of the previous polls done, but actually think about it.

Conservative and labours stay mostly the same, both gaining seats from lib dems.
However labour losing the majority of Scotland to the SNP which makes sense, meaning they lose seats overall and is a reasonable prediction.

 

[painey]

it's funny that as I was growing up, the Lib dems were the only 3rd party choice. Every election they seemed to be getting bigger, and people started thinking it wasn't just a wasted vote. In 1 election they have completely destroyed 20 years of progress. Amazing.

 

[Humidex]

Who the fuck at the bbc decided sticky tiles was decent idea?

The same people that thought of trying this out this evening?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

better swing there for labour

That's not good though. Labour doesn't want to have big swings in safe seats; that means they're doing worse in the marginals.

 

[FortuneFaded]

Nick Robinson already lost his voice? The night has just started.

 

[Keyser Soze]

BBC should have put their big election map in some water...

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Blergh. Need to relax away from all this stressful shit and not think about the future for a bit.

Maybe I should actually play a game for once instead of staying on NeoGAF all the time. XD

Gotta say though, this is the first time I've spent an election with GAF, and it's been a really good experience. Way more entertaining than any of the tv coverage.

 

[Gurgelhals]

Fuck they do this for all seats

Ridiculous

Watch Monty Python's Election Night Special on Youtube. It's pretty close to real life.

 

[DECK'ARD]

They are swinging to UKIP.

I will never understand how that can happen

UKIP became the protest vote, a lot of the votes for the LibDems were that in 2010.

 

[Lucius86]

Lib dems getting destroyed thus far.

 

[Socrates92]

Nick Robinson already lost his voice? The night has just started.

He had an operation to remove a lung tumor recently so his voice has been a little hoarse.

In Nate Silver ('s website that he has now left) we trust!

 

[Bumhead]

2-0 to Labour. Time to park the bus, lads.

Substitution to sure it up at the back.

Balls off, Alan Johnson on.

 

[L1NETT]

edit: i'm an idiot

 

[Goodlife]

Once again, the Tory loss is way smaller than the UKIP gain.

BNP not running this time round

 

[Par Score]

2 lost deposits for the Lib Dems, and beaten by the Greens in both. Bloody hell.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Noice! 2!

Voted for Andy Slaughter (Labour) today. Hammersmith & Fulham.

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

I know someone at work who is a staunch Conservative voter, and he's completely broke. Like, been in the pay-day loan cycle for years kind of broke.

I don't get it.

Media + stupid people = wooohooo.

 

[Black Republican]

Fuck they do this for all seats

Ridiculous

could u imagine if the us general election senate race candidates stood next to each other.

 

[CyclopsRock]

Nick Robinson already lost his voice? The night has just started.

Dude's got cancer, not sure if that's the meds or if he's just got the sniffles.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

They won't later. It's only because they have nothing else to talk about.

Pretty sure they do it for them all.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I'd REALLY take the UKIP votes in Sunderland with a pinch of salt, as it's very likely they've gained BNP voters rather than anywhere else.

 

[D4Danger]

BBC should have put their big election map in some water...

err... probably not the best idea right now (or ever) to remind people of that

 

[AnthonypUK]

I agree he (Milliband) is weak, but how can anyone not want to just punch Camerons face every time it appears? He is a complete and utter joke.

.

That's just politicians in general, they are all punchable

But i will, and did vote for Cameron over Miliband and Balls everyday of the week with stronger leadership, i'd have more of a choice, Labour get in in my area anyway.
