Last polls I saw had pro Europe up at 65% so hopefully it’s a safe play.

Last poll I saw on the GE had labour and the Tories neck and neck

A tory utopia is one where the rich help themselves to even more money. They think this is the way things should be.

Which ignores the wishes of the 16million who didn’t want a Tory government. FPTP is a Groundhog Day car wreck system.

That’s kind of how democracy works!

molgrips – did you get back home in time to vote?

1 Green MP.. At least some people care enough..

The only positive i can see is the how we need an overhaul of the voting system and a change to proportional representation.

The poor, ill, unemployed, disabled had better start praying.

An interesting statistic.

Scottish electorate: 4,094,784.
Scottish turnout: 71.1%
Scottish votes: 2,911,391

Votes for UKIP: 3,419,994 (and we’re still not done counting)
(of which 47,078 were in Scotland)

And the million use food banks

That’s a lot of people that love a handout

Can I just say that this is the second time I’ve posted on this thread?

no

yourguitarhero – indeed, I loathe UKIP but this is a perfect example of how the UK voting system is broken.

And it now looks like we’re going to get a majority Tory government with no inclination to change it.

Boundary changes will be up there on the “to do” list then and these would seem to benefit the Tories.

Yup, going to a food bank is just like a neighbourhood BBQ. Kids playing with kittens, cold beers, tasty burgers and stock market tips from your neighbours. And all for free!

Edit – I have no idea how quoting works on this forum

Well having been on a plane for the last 11hrs it has been killing me to know what was going on. First all night election TV I think i have missed in way too many years.

Well what an absolute result.

Majority Conservative government
Clegg out
Miliband out
Osbourne out

All we need now is Mr Farage to lose and I’m cracking open that bottle of Bowmore. 😀

Yes, UKIP voters are very hard done by this system.

It’s also terrifying that there are more people voting UKIP than the entire Scottish turnout.

Ed Balls.

Balls-watch is go!

And nice to wave bye-byes to Mark Reckless too.

Milliband was right – vote SNP, get a Tory government.

Sturgeon was wrong. Voting SNP doesn’t give Scotland influence at Westminster.

Be interesting to see how much of a restraining hand the Lib Dems had in the coalition.

Anyway, I’m off to enjoy my public sector job while it still exists!

Anyone want to buy a stone?

FPTP is a Groundhog Day car wreck system.

People seem to have short memories – the nation decided to keep FPTP in a referendum not 5 years ago.

I expect a paper thing majority will give the swivel eyed loons on the right of the party more power not less.

Didn’t Major’s “Bastards” number about 20? I think Cameron’s Bastards number about triple that.

Given that Cameron has already declared that he’s not standing again, That going to be 5 years of European shitstorm, and an internal leadership battle

EDIT: Balls has lost his seat. Milliband and clegg to resign?

molgrips – did you get back home in time to vote?

Yeah, fat lot of good it did.

Can any of you Tory boys tell me what I have to look forward to? Or what my public sector friends have to look forward to?

Yesss

Milliband was right – vote SNP, get a Tory government.

Even if every single person in Scotland voted Labour, the Tories would still win.

Gratuitous “Balls out” headline.

Balls out!!!

Does this night get any better!!? 😀

Yvette will now run for Labour leadership I reckon 🙂

Ed Balls out! What a fitting comment on Labour’s economic policy.

Simply marvellous!

Another five years of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

Burnham’s a shoe-in for that I reckon, unless Len McCluskey doesn’t like him.

Just looking at Ed Balls Wikipedia page, looks like it’s been hacked!! 😆

some weird voting locally. the libdem vote appears to have gone straight to UKIP, labour and tory percentage unchanged.

Morning you lot

Truly depressing how popular UKIP are south of the border – second most popular party in Wales!

So what happens to those who lost their seat? Unemployed? Or some back office job for the party some where?

Heard someone laugh at clegg during his speech, that is distasteful.

I didn’t vote ukip, but cannot understand the continued demonising, I don’t think they ever believed they’d get in power just like most protest parties, people seem to think we’d be voting for hitler the way they spit farages name. Admitedly he comes across a bit of a numpty, but most of them do.l..

The Guido boys liked the Ed Balls news.

Some serious blubber movement there.

My Tuppance: Tory’s will tear each other apart, the RW of the party won’t be ignored and the paper thin majority (if there is one) will make them stronger and bolder. I think Cameron’s one nation speech this morning was aimed at them as much as to the rest of us.

Next 5 years is going to be a bloody mess.

Bye bye Ed plus one for fitting comment on Labour fiscal policy, take the hint labour

.. and Balls Out

Truly depressing how popular UKIP are south of the border – second most popular party in Wales!

Hate to break it to you but the Scottish version got 50 seats.

It’s a sad day. This means no Boris. I was hoping for some entertainment.
