Not really. It's a 5% swing which is more realistic nationwide.

I hope Emily leaves her big iPad 2g prototype at a bar tonight

 

[Keyser Soze]

Emily has an app for that

 

[Dark Machine]

OH THANKYOU GOD! Labour won it by a decent margin!

:lol Labour members singing "We SHAN'T be MOVED" and telling the Tory to go home. Who said politics was un-passionate and boring eh?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Why do we have to make everything sound like a fucking football match.

 

[MrPing1000]

Was just 5%

and lol at all the UKIP candidates being old women and the BNP being dudes in their 30s-40s.

 

[phisheep]

Oh Mandelson no way, "Ive been advocating a change in the electoral system since the 1990s"

Makes sense - since Labour were last in a losing position

 

[Feathers]

Ah, not a bad swing all told.

 

[JonathanEx]

I'm drinking Fosters and moderating the live chat of my student newspaper. This could end badly.

 

[Kowak]

OH THANKYOU GOD! Labour won it by a decent margin!

:lol Labour members singing "We SHAN'T be MOVED" and telling the Tory to go home. Who said politics was un-passionate and boring eh?

conservatives were not really going to win it.

Nobody said politics wasn't childish.

:lol iDoor

 

[xbhaskarx]

5% swing in Sunderland Central, that's about in line with the exit poll, isn't it?

 

[Ushojax]

I'm curious as to why all the Clegg rock star hype from these "game-changing" debates seems to have dissolved at the ballot box. This is the same old stuff.

I guess when it came down to it, people just weren't brave enough at the ballot box. Most of these people have only ever known Tory and Labour governments. They do as they're told by the various mouthpieces.

 

[painey]

next likely results;

14 Antrim North 00:01
255 Foyle 00:01
347 Lagan Valley 00:01
586 Upper Bann 00:01

 

[Veidt]

fuck this was good :lol

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Osborne declaring victory :lol

 

[sohois]

So it seems that the early declarations are largely irrelevant then, given the differences in the swing to the Tories.

 

[Songbird]

I'm curious as to why all the Clegg rock star hype from these "game-changing" debates seems to have evaporated at the ballot box. This is the same old stuff.

The classmates I've spoken to about the election, during the three debates, often told me that Clegg had "gotten them interested" in voting. The youngsters impressed by him probably never showed up after all!

 

[Joel Was Right]

Whoever Emily is going home to tonight is a lucky man

EDIT: Who is this brunette? My god

 

[Wes]

Greens look set to win Brighton Pavillion according to the Guardian.

 

[mckmas8808]

lmao at the 3-0 chant :lol :lol

3-0 for the Labour party?

 

[operon]

gotta laugh at labourtrying to stay in power, cameron sure to be on the phone to the dup later on tonight

 

[Souldriver]

Also, aren't the LibDems supposed to fare way better in these districts, since it was a Labour stronghold and LibDem supporters could vote with their conscience instead of tactics?

 

[xbhaskarx]

and lol at all the UKIP candidates being old women and the BNP being dudes in their 30s-40s.

Yeah so far all the UKIP candidates look the same and all the BNP candidates look the same. Creepy.

 

[Brera]

I've just voted at 29 for the 1st time! I wouldnt have bothered if it wasnt for facebook and all the flame wars going on right now!

I went for Labour. By far the most sensible choice when you take emotions out of the picture.

 

[Kowak]

Whoever Emily is going home to tonight is a lucky man

Me, her, Fiona and Sophie are having fun tomorrow morning

 

[BGBW]

Argh! The recent results is killing my Internet.

 

[Koshiro]

I'm curious as to why all the Clegg rock star hype from these "game-changing" debates seems to have evaporated at the ballot box. This is the same old stuff.

Tactical voting. Everyone I spoke to in recent days wanted to vote for Lib Dems, but feared one of the two main parties, and so were voting for 'the other one' to keep them out instead. Got so sick of hearing that, it's pathetic really.

 

[Hixx]

:lol :lol :lol :lol @ at the Labour supporters mocking the others

"3 Nil, 3 nil..


...Who are 'ya? Who are 'ya?"

Turned it off but I take it that was Sunderland central.

There's something about Sunderland as a whole and the who are you chant...

 

[Kowak]

Ask these people why they left it so late?

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Sky sources: voters turned away at Ranmoor polling station are refusing to let ballot box out of building. Police there

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

Was that Gary Glitter in the background, just then?

 

[D4Danger]

"we take this very seriously"

says the women who turned up at the last minute to cast her vote.

 

[Wes]

"There's 100s of people here. We wern't able to vote. I mean it's pouring with rain."

DON'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GO EARLIER TO VOTE BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER YOU SODS.

 

[curls]

Mmmmmmm Fiona

The stations close at 10.00 on the dot, turn up earlier idiots.

 

[Ashes]

when is the first of the 100 close seats results?

 

[sohois]

It seems that meny people did in fact arrive in time to vote, but found large lines preventing them.

 

[Veidt]

Hear hear!

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Man, Fiona Bruce is such a hotty

 

[Kowak]

Enter the Walrus

I could quite easily stroke one out to Fiona. Percentages and queues are putting me off though.

I'm drinking Fosters and moderating the live chat of my student newspaper. This could end badly.

At least there's no danger of you getting drunk. I'm on the vodka and redbulls and am not too confident in seeing out the night (or at least remembering it!).

 

[Keyser Soze]

Whilst we wait for more Emily... here is more Emily.

 

[Empty]

Also, aren't the LibDems supposed to fare way better in these districts, since it was a Labour stronghold and LibDem supporters could vote with their conscience instead of tactics?

yes. the fact they didn't is extremely discouraging.

 

[Withnail]

What a shambles.

 

[BGBW]

Lol run out of paper.
Great start for whoever wins.

 

[baylon452]

polling stations running out of ballot papers to.

Whilst we wait for more Emily... here is more Emily.
