Support NeoGAF

[MrRoflWaffles]

The Liberal Democrats really do not have much financial support. 10 seats and ~450 lost deposits might genuinely mean their collapse as a party; they won't be able to contest nation-wide next election. Won't have the money.

Would it really be that dire? I was absolutely expecting them to drop down to 10-15 or so seats but didn't consider the possibility that it would mean they'd be out of the running next time around.

I want a 100% DUP ruled government

believe

 

[31GhostsIV]

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

[SymbiantXenos]

Farage going would be a plus.

Vacuous shell of a man.

 

[Diablohead]

the selfies have appeared.

 

[William]

I love how they do the counts, running about with the ballot boxes to try to get their declarations in early. I was thinking when I voted with the pencil "wonder if this will be on the internet next time around?" but you would miss all this fun if they did it that way.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Well, I guess they must have taken votes from elsewhere too!

Farage has been in the news constantly.
Any publicity is good publicity it seems.

Is that fair? Is this truly justice for the tuition fees betraylton?

I feel yes.

 

[Jezbollah]

Labour hold Washington and Sunderland West.

omg this guy in pink taking selfies and fist pumping

 

[Mr. Luchador]

993 was the LibDem's guy age tbh

 

[Kinky John]

Goodbye DUP man.

 

[L1NETT]

As a gay chap the DUP are completely terrifying

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Sunderland, stop it...Lib Dems are already dead.

They don't have £250,000 spare to put candidates up for seats they can't defend deposits. It would genuinely be that dire. The BBC exit poll is effectively predicting the death of the Liberal Democrats as a viable nation-wide party.

 

[Kotetsu534]

The Lib Dems will survive, but their long term prospects will be damaged if their reduced to 10 seats and driven from large parts of the country altogether. It'll be a 10+ year rebuilding job.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Sunderland West

UKIP: 7321
Bob Dylan, Tories: 7033
TU&Socialist Coalition: 341
Lib Dems: 993
Labour: 20,478
Greens: 1091

Score.

 

[bomma_man]

If that exit poll is correct how did the polls get it so wrong? Low turnout?

lolz

 

[Humidex]

Oh boy, the Greens make it 3 out of 3 in Sunderland

 

[Vanguard]

Oh my....

Oh dear, I'm quite tired due to doing a little crunch at the moment on a project and, well it just didn't really register at all what I typed hah, unfortunate choice of words indeed.

 

[Bumhead]

3-0 Labour.

Dream of the Desmond is over, Jeff.

hahaha Not even funny

 

[BlazingDarkness]

libdem lost another deposit

UKIP coming in freakishly high

 

[Carl]

That bloke in the red top was outrageously happy. What a guy

 

[Visualante2]

3 deposits gone for Lib Dem

 

[Chinese Cartoons]

993 was the LibDem's guy age tbh

He cant even stand properly poor man.

 

[GazzaScotland]

3 out of 3 for deposit losses for the Lib Dems!

 

[DECK'ARD]

The LibDems' night is a snuff movie.

 

[Delusibeta]

Three safe Labour seats going to Labour, notbigsurprise.wav.

What's more surprising is three lost Lib Dem deposits and three Greens > Lib Dems. Oh, and two UKIP seconds.

 

[Matt_]

I dont get these swing from lab to UKIP when lab has been up in them?

 

[Tak3n]

Ok I am starting to feel sorry for lib dems....slap me

 

[CyclopsRock]

Don't worry, the Lib Dems can just retreat to their heartlands of..

of...

oh.

 

[Par Score]

Bloody hell, another UKIP second, and another Green beatdown on the Lib Dems, and another lost deposit.

All Sunderland so far I suppose.

 

[Humidex]

Go away Ed.

Essentially, yes. They'll be forced to compete in a far smaller number of seats next time round. I think it'll be more than 10 years, though - it takes a long time to be able to make progress in areas you were already weak.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

UKIP seems to be doing well.

 

[Incognito]

Ed Balls already salty, damn

 

[cyberheater]

They made their own bed. They sold their souls to the devil.

I would rather eat my own testicles.

As a gay chap the DUP are completely terrifying

As a bi chap, I'm only half terrified. But also Catholic, which brings it back up to complete terror again.

 

[WayneMorse]

Ed Balls going to be defeated?

 

[nib95]

Nick Clegg you muppet, you killed your party. A party that generally veers left, does not form a coalition with a party on the right. That is not the reason people voted your party and now you're feeling the impacts of the loss of their trust.

 

[dapperbandit]

Farage third maybe :O

Eh didn't they say that was a Labour source?

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[painey]

I love that Dimbleby just ignores the person when there's a call, like your grandpa at Christmas just going off on one in the middle of your story


edit: ED BALLS SICK BURN

Working classes disillusioned with main parties and encouraged by hollow promises of "real change" and someone to blame. It really is that simple.

 

[Yen]

We're heading for a scary world if the DUP hold the balance of power with a Tory minority.

 

[Empty]

balls looks twitchy as fuck :/

Largest party to biggest gainer is how swing is measured.

baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallz

Ballot boxes have only just arrived at the counting stations, so its all just rumour right now.
