Support NeoGAF

[gerg]

I think it's pretty obvious they do all want out now. Have you seen the predicted results in Scotland? And now with five years of a Tory majority looming?

Well, that's CyclopsRock's point - it may be a mistake to assume that all the SNP support would automatically translate into support for independence. I'm admittedly a Londoner, but I'm anti-independence and I'd vote SNP if I could.

Twitter saying George Galloway has been arrested over electoral fraud at the count????

 

[Jonnax]

everyone is acting on here like we are doomed by getting david in, how would labour have done any better ?

Scotland have always voted left wing. Conservatives have never had a chance.
SNP are winning all the seats.
They want independence.
Another Tory government even with the entirety of Scotland not wanting it.
Excellent case for independence.
Goodbye United Kingdom.

SNP is not the Viet Cong, thanks for that guy on BBC.

Didn't he tweet the exit poll before 10pm?

Wat.

Welsh is such a beautiful language

 

[CyclopsRock]

The referendum was close and was held in the context of a very different political climate. It would be a mistake to suppose that what applied in mid-2014 still applies now.

I think it's pretty obvious they do all want out now. Have you seen the predicted results in Scotland? And now with five years of a Tory majority looming?

They may well get all the seats - and half the votes.

 

[Jezbollah]

SNP GAIN Kilmarnock & Loudoun from Labour.

 

[SuperSah]

LD first seat in Ceredigian (sp)?

 

[Audioboxer]

Kilmarnock, landslide.

 

[BadHand]

Didn't he tweet the exit poll before 10pm?

He did.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Andrew Marr, always awesome

Absolutely love him. Great writer, too.

Ceredigion: LD hold.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

If it keeps going the way it is, the Scottish result would have had no impact on the overall election anyway.

Exactly. Yet Labour can't seem to grasp that. Or don't want to admit it.

Tory majority is now favourite with the bookies

I thought you were going to bed, Olly?

 

[kmag]

Lib Dems hold Ceredigion

 

[Kinky John]

The SNP didn't cost Labour anything, Labour did.

I hope people in England understand and remember this.

Twitter saying George Galloway has been arrested over electoral fraud at the count????

Eh?

 

[EdibleExplosives]

SNP win Kilmarnock.

 

[Carl]

Wow that's a big SNP win

 

[CyclopsRock]

If there were 21 almost-evenly-popular parties in a constituency, would it be possible for the winner to still lose their deposit? I guess it would, technically...

 

[GrizzleBoy]

30K damn son

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Lib Dems hold Ceredigion

Just.

 

[VE3TRO]

SNP gained from LAB in Kilmarnock/Loudon.

 

[kmag]

Fuck me that swing in Kilmarnock. Swing of 26%

 

[Juicy Bob]

DAT SWING

 

[real_slime]

Heart pumpin' at Kilmarnock announcement. I was gonna go to bed but this might be fun.

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Kilmarnock:

Scot Lib Dems: 789
Scot National Party: 30,000
Scot Labour: 16,362
Scot Tory: 6752

Whoa.

 

[Gaffercake]

[SuperSah]

30k SNP win.

26% Lab to SNP swing

LABOUR DONE FUCKED

 

[DECK'ARD]

26% swing to SNP.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Wheeeeeeee

Swinging all the way around

 

[travisbickle]

Watching CNN, the only channel easily available in Korea, and the male reporter is loving it. Don't know his name, but he mentioned he lives in the same area as D.Cameron and he's practically salivating at the exit polls.

 

[NekoFever]

I thought you were going to bed, Olly?

Can't stop rubbernecking this car crash.

 

[Delusibeta]

Twitter saying George Galloway has been arrested over electoral fraud at the count????

Politican talking about results before the polls close is a big no no. Even if said talk was blatant bullshit.

 

[Visualante2]

35.8% for Cerisomething or other (sorry)
0.24% Kilmarnock and Loudon

Best and worst of the night for Lib Dems.

 

[Fergie]

30,000.

My days.

 

[GazzaScotland]

55% of the vote for the SNP in Killie.

 

[mr-paul]

Is it just me, or do the BBC seem massively biased towards the Tories tonight?

It's utterly depressing what the future of our country is looking to be

 

[BlazingDarkness]

SNP really beasted.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Tory majority was 7/1 earlier in the week. missed a trick there.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Exactly. Yet Labour can't seem to grasp that. Or don't want to admit it.

Likely the latter, it's easier to blame it on someone else.

 

[pootle]

Kilmarnock, landslide.

Bloody. Hell.

 

[Varion]

30,000 votes is just...daaamn.

 

[iapetus]

Lib Dems have been absolutely fucked over. Hope they recover soon under the new leadership that seems inevitable now.

 

[Jackpot]

Respect leader George Galloway has been reported to police for allegedly breaking election law.

The Bradford West MP is said to have retweeted his party's own exit poll before voting ended.

Bradford Council's returning officer made the report to police, according to BBC Radio Leeds.

It is against the law to discuss voting while polls are open, under section 66 of the Representation of the People's Act.

Lib Dems have been absolutely fucked over. Hope they recover soon under the new leadership that seems inevitable now.

If they go all the way down to 10 seats I think the following leadership challenge will spell the end of the party.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Kilmarnock:

Scot Lib Dems: 789
Scot National Party: 30,000
Scot Labour: 16,362
Scot Tory: 6752

Whoa.

Doesn't look like the counter was designed to accommodate such a swing!

 

[PipefishUK]

It's not that hard, the country is in better shape at the end of this government term than it was 5 years ago, whatever policies have been said and promised this is hard proof, at least for me.

I hate this line - it might be in better shape, I'm personally better off. But poor people, sick people, the unemployed are being fucked over. I don't get why people are so short sighted and selfish.

If we end up leaving the EU, whether Scotland leave the UK or not (save yourselves!) - we'll end up a fucked up, nasty little tax haven for big business. Where the average do OK, the rich get richer and richer but the poor get fucked upon fucked.

Pretty galling to find out that even though I've been taking the piss out of Ed Miliband for three years I've still overestimated him
