I'd imagine Murdoch is requesting 'Gotcha' to be revived for tomorrow.

by shifting further to the right to appease the tories who own the press.

what you're claiming is that the left wing of the tory party can win, but the labour party can't.

In the short run, yes. In the long run, once you're in office you have the ability to reform the press. :3

Is there no hope for the left?

 

[nib95]

Not sure whether I feel bad for Ed or not, he has absolutely 0 charisma in a race where the opposition has about 5% more, but thats not his fault.

I think he has a fair degree of charisma, just an alternative kind. Shame the right wing media berated him for it, because I personally found his persona fairly refreshing.

 

[fenners]

George Galloway potentially? That's a shame.

 

[Theecliff]

I wish labour wasn't stanning ed, would have probs done better without him 😕

I still find it kind of unbelievable that more people don't want to vote for progress but whatevssss

 

[Visualante2]

More like Disrespect. We're really getting into it now.

 

[Kiever Sher]

Labour got a seat from the respect party, quite a gain there! Labour look to be mounting quite a comeback lads

 

[Chanser]

The way that the SNP talks about the Tories one would have assumed that the Conservative party had invaded and set the entire country to the torch. I don't think I'll ever understand it.

Lets just say Thatcher left a nasty shit on Scotland.

 

[Mr Cola]

And like that Ed is out

 

[CyclopsRock]

Will the last person to It's a Tory please Wot Gotcha.

Good ol' Lammy. I like Lammy, actually. That's probably just my Spursy'ness showing through though.

 

[Scum]

Lib Dems now relegated to "Others" status on the BBC homepage:

 

[Delusibeta]

Outside of Scotland? No.

 

[twobear]

In the short run, yes. In the long run, once you're in office you have the ability to reform the press. :3

oh, you mean, like they did between the years of 1997 and 2005

 

[Juicy Bob]

I'm going to catch a few hours sleep.

I really hope when I wake up that it turns out it's all a dream.

Looks like final #GE2015 tally in Scotland will be 57 SNP, 1 Labour (Edinburgh South) and 1 Liberal Democrat (Orkney & Shetland).

 

[Deleted member 231381]

I mean, Blair's leanings were naturally that way so that's not surprising. What Labour needs is a leader whose face is Blair but soul is Miliband, so to speak.

 

[Kathian]

Wonder what the next bielection Gorgeous George will win and immediately lose.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

George Galloway potentially? That's a shame.

Oona King right now

 

[popo]

They pretty much have set the country to the torch.

Did you type that with a straight face?

 

[Mr Cola]

I think he has a fair degree of charisma, just an alternative kind. Shame the right wing media berated him for it, because I personally found his persona fairly refreshing.

He comes across as a bit of a robot, even during the more dressed down Brand interview, even his concession speech where he said he knew he didnt have much charisma he sounded like he was reading off a card.

Im not saying these are reasons not to vote for him, it doesnt bother me, but it does both alot of people who arent interested in policies.

 

[nib95]

I know nothing about him, I was basing it purely on his personality traits, which I realise is not the be all end all, but given the way Ed has been ridiculed, and Cameron praised for this very thing, I'm starting to reconsider it's importance...

 

[Kiever Sher]

I blame Russell Brand for this, all those people he told to vote picked Tory for some reason clearly.

Sturgeon on BBC

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Lost Lib Dem deposits now at £41,000

 

[FATALITY]

who's winning?

 

[Deleted member 231381]

Lost Lib Dem deposits now at £41,000

They're also looking to lose Hughes, Cable and Laws. 10 seats is the upper bound at this point.

 

[Jezbollah]

Labour hold Great Grimsby

Another UKIP fail

yes, and while we're at it, we could have free trips to the moon for pensioners in a special rocket.

the left wing in the uk is dead for the foreseeable future.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

The Government can't reform the press easily through legislation. Influence is based on who you know. The Conservatives have more friends in powerful places than any other party and its actions are in servitude to those benefactors above the interests of the common Briton.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Delighted to see Galloway getting scalped. Hopefully he slithers off into the shadows for good.

 

[nib95]

yes, and while we're at it, we could have free trips to the moon for pensioners in a special rocket.

[kmag]

28,626 SNP in Coatbridge to 17,195 Labour. That might be the biggest swing of the night

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.

Labour shelled out £300,000 (tax-free) to David Axelrod and all they got was a giant stone

 

[Psychotext]

I'm middle class and relatively wealthy... but fuck, I really feel for disadvantaged members of society waking up tomorrow to this. They're in for a shit 5 years.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

Labour hold Great Grimsby

Not even second place there. UKIP looking like 1-2 now rather than 3-5

 

[Carl]

39% swing, bloody hell.

 

[Audioboxer]

Fuck, 39% swing.

 

[kmag]

39% Swing in Glasgow North East

 

[Pankratous]

39% swing for Glasgow NE... Jesus.

 

[AngryMoth]

Wonder if the Lib Dem annihilation will make smaller parties more wary of joining a coalition in future

 

[Deleted member 231381]

SNP just broke the swingometer.

 

[King_Moc]

yes, and while we're at it, we could have free trips to the moon for pensioners in a special rocket.

the left wing in the uk is dead for the foreseeable future.

With the required increase in welfare payments in the future due to the baby boomer generation hitting pensionable age, the left doesn't have a course back for a long, long time. Especially with all those old fuckers continuing to screw younger generations by voting Tory.

 

[Kiever Sher]

That Sun front page, Bluedini. Gross

 

[MrRoflWaffles]

Bluedini.

Ugh. Going to have to live with 5 more damn years of this.

 

[Yamauchi]

Lib Dems did hold Shetland and Orkney

 

[Varion]

"I can't even see the number!"

39% is just insane.

 

[ANuclearError]

I'm amazed the GNE turnout was that low. Was expecting it to be higher.

 

[popo]

39% swing, lol

 

[Delusibeta]

SNP just broke the swingometer.

Quite literally off the scale.
