Benson's profile.

Pretty good.

 

[industrian]

Labour have lost 70 seats. Tories have gained 75.

 

[Keyser Soze]

:/

 

[Varion]

Still waiting for Sheffield Central.

Should've been called over 3 hours ago.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

A Tory MP from a minority? Shit son.

They actually had a couple of Tory minority candidates, like the one from Hammersmith among others.

 

[minus_273]

yeah result just came in. dont see anything for east.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Dorset South lost to the Tories. Bugger.

 

[industrian]

:/

There's either a "trash" related or "hung parliament" related joke here. Take your pick.

 

[Dead Man]

Bloody hell Britain.... what have you done?

 

[D4Danger]

136 seats left

Tories need 73

 

[Varion]

Viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiince!

 

[industrian]

Cable got re-elected. Nice to see we'll still have a prophet in the House of Commons.

 

[Kowak]

I personally gave the conservatives a majority, i dont not what the rest of the british people were up to.

 

[Chris R]

Are results this damn late a typical Brittish/UK thing? Nationwide results don't take nearly this long in the USA, and local results are normally in 100% by 11PM :lol

 

[Xavien]

Stopped the Tories from being a done deal (like they was 4-5 months ago)?

Sure i would've expected LD to make a breakthrough, but in my view the damage isn't as great as a Tory majority.

All our votes are paper based.

 

[Chris R]

All our votes are paper based.

So are the ones when I go to vote. Do you mean that they are entirely counted by hand?

Okay. I also was expecting more LD seats, I was not aware that the Tories had a lock down earlier. (I'm just a colonial )

All our votes are paper based.

So are ours, and they are counted by hand. We normally have results by 10pm of the day for most seats. We have less people in Australia obviously, but also less people counting. Maybe you just need more counters?

yep

yes

 

[CrunchinJelly]

What the fuck happened to the turnout?

People were talking about 75 - even as high as 80% - turnout before 10pm. Here we are sitting at 65% turnout?

I guess the Lib Dem voters thought 'Fuck it, my vote won't make a difference' and all stayed at home.

Shit could have been a whole lot worse.

 

[dakster]

Can't believe the people of Salford re-elected that thieving bastard Hazel Blears.

 

[industrian]

The Tories need 68 more seats for a majority.

everyone came out to vote at 10 and got turned away

That is why the SNAFU over the people turned away from voting, and running out of ballot papers may blow up into something much bigger.

Probably lots of students who haven't learnt the difference between theory and practice yet

squeaky bum time

I thought the Green women was announced ages ago

 

[Wes]

Greens just got their first ever MP.

 

[Varion]

Oh wow, Lucas took Brighton Pavilion.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is that woman tiny or just further away?

 

[sohois]

Greens get Brighton

The problem is that LD are often close to Tories or Labour in vote percentages, but they just cant get enough of a swing to take these seats.

 

[industrian]

Congratulations to the Green Party for their first ever seat in the House of Commons.

 

[painey]

think its time to turn in.. i managed 8 hours.

ps fuck this green lady

 

[Feathers]

Congrats Green Party.

 

[scotcheggz]

YES! GREEN IN BRIGHTON!

A small sweeeeet victory for me

 

[Wes]

Urgh Zac Goldsmith won.

 

[Stevie Gerrard]

Well done Caroline Lucas!

 

[industrian]

Large forehead Tory dude looks like Maggie Thatcher's spawn or something.

 

[sohois]

Looks like Zac Goldsmith got Richmond.

 

[dakster]

Tories need another 54.

 

[Kowak]

Zak and Daisy Benson would of had great babies

so glad he won.

 

[industrian]

Nice to see Labour have crossed the 200 seats line.

 

[minus_273]

Can't believe the people of Salford re-elected that thieving bastard Hazel Blears.

you have a problem with flipping houses on the market?

 

[Frank the Great]

Peter Kellner, YouGov supremo, says at the moment it looks like we're heading for about 310 Tory seats. We're also heading for about 310 Labour and Lib Dem seats combined. With things that close, every seat lost by one party and gained by a rival is very significant.

Wow what the hell would happen in that scenario? Con+Lib Dem coalition? Con minority gov?

LD+Labour wouldn't be enough to form a government.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Zac Goldsmith is a fucking billionaire or something

 

[Slippers]

Tories need another 54.

63?

 

[D4Danger]

Tories need 63 from 119

 

[industrian]

Around 120 seats left. The Tories need about half of them for a majority.
