General Election 2015 - chat, predictions, results and post election discussion

[Lo Siento.]

So, another Tory government, what can we expect this term? What else will be destroyed?

Things will just carry on in exactly the same way they have done for decades. Just as they would've done if Labour had won.

Suggestions that Harriet Harman may become caretaker Labour leader.

Apparently after the first count Ed Balls was 91 votes behind and asked for a recount.

 

[belboid]

Fucking TUSC friends lecturing about how voting Labour hasn't worked. The fucking barefaced cheek of it.

i've just seen that.

it felt too rude to point out how tusc did

It doesn't bare thinking about right now. I don't think I can cope with it

It's a massive blow for social justice. I'm glad I found this forum though, at least there will be some who I can share my disgust with.

 

[belboid]

libscum down to eight seats now, apparently

which is as close as i'll get to a happy ending, so good night, and good luck

 

[Geri]

Oh, and I also getting fed up of being lectured to by people who chose not to vote. Fuck off.

 

[Divisive Cotton]

So at one point - before the exit poll - there's a result that could have severely dented the confidence of the old interests the surround the Tory party, but now we wake up to future where the Tory party are powerful enough to reinforce their hold on power and carry that through into another parliament like they did in 1983

Labour win Brighton Hove

 

[skyscraper101]

R4 says Caroline Lucas looks likely to retain her seat

'exactly the same'? Staggering fucking nuance there.

 

[extra dry]

Glad not to be in Britain any more, it is going to be a very difficult time for many over the following four or five years.

 

[redsquirrel]

Things weren't shit enough for swing voters in swing seats in the South (outside of London) and the Midlands for them to desert the Tories.

Plus loads of yellow vermin have defected to the Tories. Last number I saw was a 7% swing

Hope they don't bother moaning in five years.

Home Secretary? Water cannons ftw.

Caroline Lucas re-elected for Greens in Brighton Pavilion

Why would they? If it's done anything it's made apparent that they're shits of the same suit.

one of those grey school caretaker coats would suit her

 

[Divisive Cotton]

Caronline Lucas won by a large majority of 8k - added 11% to her vote

 

[redsquirrel]

Would have loved to have seen Bristol West win for the greens.:-/

True. Never trust a liberal.

 

[Kaka Tim]

Cant sleep. Utterly devastated. The torys are going to take the gloves off now - expect big cuts to tax credits, child benefit, housing benefit and a massive slashing of local authority services. We keep the bedroom tax. The DWP will carry on sanctioning people en mass and the welfare system will be progressively replaced by charity sticking plaster stuff like food banks. fuck fuck fucking fuck. Not optimistic that my job will last till the end of the year.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Oh fuck no ...

 

[Roadkill]

It's just getting worse and fucking worse.
