It's scary to consider the possibility than in five years' time we might have an rUK outside the EU.

A UK with no Scotland either.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Three holds in Northern Ireland.

 

[jamieson87]

I'm going for a weekend break in Edinburgh in 2 weeks.

Might turn it into a scouting mission for job prospects and the housing market.

Up ye come mate. More than welcome.

 

[MetalSlug]

It's all sounding good so far!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Good God. Don't even say that

No chance that happens.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

A UK with no Scotland either.

That's what rUK means - Rest of United Kingdom.

 

[Pankratous]

Jeremy Paxman was a bit... rude to Natalie Bennett just now (Channel 4) to say the least. Damn.

 

[Captain Smirk]

Fuck this shit...

if the Scots go independent, I want us northerners a choice as well. Not another 5 years of being ignored by the southern Lannister's.

 

[gerg]

A UK with no Scotland either.

Hence "rUK". : P

 

[DECK'ARD]

Lib Dems house of cards haha

 

[CyclopsRock]

Uh, wasn't that the GE five years ago?

Oopsie, sorry, I meant last GE.

And yup, Federalism needs to rocket up the priority list. A tricky thing to do especially with whatever working numbers the Tories end up with but if Cam can succeed I think he'll cement his (positive) position in Tory history books.

Jeremy Paxman was a bit... rude to Natalie Bennett just now (Channel 4) to say the least. Damn.

What did he say?

 

[Jezbollah]

Douglas Alexander might be on his way...

 

[Tak3n]

Surely Clegg has to resign, what arrogance if he refuses to

 

[Molemitts]

My only hope that can come from this election is that Scotland get out of here. You deserve better than this.

 

[Mr. RHC]

Lib Dems house of cards haha

This is amazing!

 

[Kiever Sher]

Lib Dem matrix green screen house of cards on BBC, peak reporting.

 

[fenners]

Kids home, time to take a break before they go to bed.

 

[Carl]

No chance that happens.

Oh, i know. I meant don't even joke about something like that.

 

[Highwind]

lol

We had one fucking job Jesus Christ lmao. ONE JOB!

What's wrong with people in this country? UGH.................

 

[SuperSah]

Lib Dems house of cards haha

Flick em' over.

BBC1 enjoying their new tech.

 

[Jonnax]

BBC discussing how David Cameron might be the last Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

Surely that can't be the legacy he wants to leave. To be Romulus Augustulus.

My gawd. I wonder who will celebrate this in England.

 

[Wes]

That's what rUK means - Rest of United Kingdom.

Ah apologies! Thought it may have been a mobile typo!

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Surely Clegg has to resign, what arrogance if he refuses to

If it's so bad the party should disband and any MPs should join another party or go independent.

 

[Pankratous]

What did he say?

I mean, it's hard to portray how it was rude over text, but he was basically grilling her in an extremely condescending way: "You are the best the Greens have to offer?" *look of disgust*

I mean, I know it's his thing to grill politicians, but it seemed uncalled for in the context.

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Apparently Simon Hughes has conceded. This is absolutely brutal, 10 might be considered *ambitious* at this stage. Incredible.

 

[Spaghetti]

BBC reporter saying the issue might be Labour's campaign was too Left-wing, but I'm struggling to think how "left" you can consider it. Abolishing non-doms was the most "extreme" thing in it. Many of their policies you could say were from the Conservative party and you'd believe it.

labour lost scotland to an anti-austerity party. how it can be even considered their campaign was lost on being too left wing is beyond me

 

[Ashes]

man what a loss for the lib dems.

 

[DECK'ARD]

This is amazing!

That was my favourite bit so far.

"This is a very precarious looking structure", and then it all falls to bits.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

BBC and their fucking graphics.

 

[kmag]

It's going to be a Tory majority. That Nuneaton result pretty much seals it.

Lib Dem voters decided that they like being Tories seems to be the theme of the night.

 

[CyclopsRock]

it's precarious but IMO this is an amazing opportunity to sort out a problem that's existed for some time but has been ignored since devolution. It's come to a head, but this was the only way it was ever gonna get solved.

Nuneaton hold for Tories, Lib Dems get LESS THAN A THOUSAND.

dead.

 

[Bumhead]

Nuneaton has destroyed the United Kingdom.

 

[Jezbollah]

Conservatives hold Nuneaton, a key Labour target.

 

[Mr Git]

You guys are basically Scottish anyway

Yaaay. <3

Fuck this shit...

if the Scots go independent, I want us northerners a choice as well. Not another 5 years of being ignored by the southern Lannister's.

Northern exodus should happen. I've been saying this for years though.

 

[Incognito]

Wow. #dead

 

[Graphics Horse]

At least the weather looks good in Nuneaton.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

NUNEATON:

Labour needed a 2.3% swing to gain

Labour: 15,945
Lib Dem: 816
Tory: 20,827
Green: 1281
English Democrats: 104
TUSC: 194
UKIP: 6582

Conservatives with a 4882 majority.

 

[Wes]

Labour didn't get Nuneaton? Game over.

 

[GazzaScotland]

Labour failing massively in Nuneaton.

 

[NekoFever]

Comfortable win in Nuneaton for Tories. I'm off to bed.

 

[electroshockwave]

I empathise too much with this child right now.

 

[SuperSah]

Conservatives in Nuneaton.

Labour am cry

yep, labour have been a sad joke since 2010

and of course losing today will only convince them that they'll need to be more right wing

this country is well and truly fucked. bail out while you can tbh.

 

[Slowdive]

Wow.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Labour, what the fuck happened?

 

[Carl]

Welp, Labour didn't gain one of their key seats. They're fucked.

 

[brain_stew]

And there it is. Game over. Conservative majority here we come.

 

[Moosichu]

:'(

 

[Delusibeta]

I think that's another Tory swing.
