[Closed] The All Night Election Results Thread

Labour have undoubtedly moved rightwards over the last decades, whether you think that is the correct stance to take is a personal choice. However there is a 'core vote' with Leftist values that feel unrepresented about now.
Will Labour fill that gap again, or will a new party arise?

chewkw, do you have any idea of the voting history of Sunderland?

I was told once by my very knowledgeable colleague from London that the North was once Tories until the pit closure or something like that ... or and some sort of scandal in the Toon ... 😆

What's the history then? Quick summary please no need to go into detail.

😛

Labour since around 1950 for Sunderland Central. I think South did have a brief flirtation with the Tories back in the fifties but has been Labour since 1964. Just waiting for Central to announce the inevitable then I'm off to bed.

SNP on 58. Well maybes aye and maybes naw, but if they have is that the union up in smoke?

Seems like Cameron's actions after the referendum were like a poke in the eye for a lot of Scots voters. And Labour haven't been forgiven for working with the Tories.

With Miliband they thought they had moved left, can't see them moving further left if he has failed. Brave men double down.

Chewkw.

Please stop adding bits onto your replies
Please could you actually try and make some sense
Where are the claims of the region struggling? Have we sent an sos? Was it in the paper?

Talk of Ed Balls' seat looking close!

Nick Robinson tweeting its only a rumour & that ballot boxes only just arrived for the count.

Talk of Ed Balls' seat looking close!

That would be peachy. Almost a Portillo moment.

...until the pit closure or something like that

Oh look Sunderland Central. What a surprise that is.

Nearly 8k votes for UKIP 🙁

No, just me looking into my "crystal ball" ... ya, I know I cannot sustain my argument but when I went to Sunderland the place just felt grim ... not good man, not good ... 😮

edit: Another 20k win for red Ed in Sunderland ... 😯

Had forgotten about her - thanks for reminding me 🙄 presumably she's staying now, yay!

Less than 5% of votes I think.

lib dems really ****ed themselves over by going for a shot at power in the coalition and this upsets me.

but not as much as the existence of the ukips or the snp

Don't mention SNP and the Kippers in the same breath please.

I don't agree with the SNP stance, but it's not the politics of unbridled hatred.

it's still got idiot nationalism in common

Taking a whole generation and putting them on the dole can do that to a place.

So, if the exit poll is accurate, why?

At least half the country aren't die hard red or blue, ie middle ground. For them (including me) the leader of the party makes a big difference.

In the last 3 elections I voted L/C/LD. This time I don't trust/like Ed and Ed. I doubt I am alone.

Yes but it lacks the hatred of immigrants (though I think they made an exception when dear Nigel visited)

Hang on, Bob Dylan was standing for the tories?

The times they are a changin'

The Lib Dem ass kicking continues… can't say I'm arsed.

Also, Salmond has been conspicuous by absence in this election. How long until we see his smug face back in the news?

I want Farage to win but if the population want red Ed to be their Dear Leader so be it but just hope that one day you will not hear me say "I told you soooo ... " 😆

Socialist/Trade Unionist bloke - what a tit.

He was on the Tory campaign posters in Castleford - where the SNP weren't standing of course. Tories playing racist card?

Well he tried which is good. 😀

Oh my God chewkw another Labour win in the Northeast. Is it a communist conspiracy?

Ed Balls' rictus grin is creepy

If the SNP had their way Scotland would be out of the EU. (They'd also be out of the Union).

So near identical to UKIP in effect.

I want Farage to win but if the population want red Ed to be their Dear Leader so be it but just hope that one day you will not hear me say "I told you soooo ... "

Not in a million ****ing years will I ever dream of that **** gaining power.

Shhh, he might find out that we've got Stalin still alive in the old Wearmouth Colliery tunnels.

Most probably due to class war or the hatred for the South. In the long run they will not improve and so will do more harm to their own future generations if they remain the same.

UKIP projected to win two seats.
Mark Reckless will be one, who will take the other? Tories claim to be confident they will take South Thanet, if so that's Farage gone as party leader & I predict UKIP to then disappear up its own 'arris through faction fighting.

Legitimacy is off and running!!! What balls!

Centre, centre left - why does such a bright bloke talk so much rot.

Can someone explain to me what Scotland are going to achieve by only having SNP MP's?

They have made it so the cons will have control of the next parliament and surely there isn't going to be another independence referendum anytime soon.
