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

[butchersapron]

John Mann just bigged up Dan Jarvis as next leader over Yvette Cooper who is tainted by being from the 'old school Blair/Brown Labour Party.'
On the BBC.

Scottish woman doing the results last night for BBC, couldn't stop mentioning him when next leader even hinted at. The one to the left of bullingdon club member dimblebey (from his position). Something's going on amongst the elite here.

When Politics Is This Broken It’s Time To Get Out In The Fucking Streets – Starting Tomorrow, 3pm Conservative HQ

In the middle of all the shite last night, I hadn't noticed McVey had lost her seat. Ha Ha.

 

[agricola]

How is Dan Jarvis not a Blairite by conviction? He's chair of Progress.

Mann's advocacy of him seemed to be based solely on him having a "real" job.

 

[krtek a houby]

Everybody goes into a what-the-fuck slump..

I'm there. It started with some clown crowing that "the left is in tatters" and went rapidly downhill since

 

[CNT36]

Potentially daft question, but does anyone know why St Ives still hasn't declared a result? Has it gone to a recount, or are they just being slow off the mark down there in the far south-west?!

Flying papers in from the Isles of Scilly.

My first thought was ex army officer, how establishment can you get?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

Yeah, cheers Axelrod. Kindly fuck off back to Washington now.

There will be nobody in St Ives. They will have popped over to Helston for the "Furry Dance" (Flora Dance) as that happens on 8 May. Nothing much to dance about this time though. Cornwall was LibDem territory until now so there may be a few sad faces.

SPINGO!!!

Spunking cock voters actually supporting tories, shocker - http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/angry-voter-who-drew-penis-5661773

 

[belboid]

Live-stitch rolling poll update. He's slower than St Ives.

Lesson - on me, not in me.

my mum said that if she was in jail she'd know she would have three squares a day and a heated room to sleep in, but doing something to get you there would be unchristian. I've never seen her this despondant.

I see where she's coming from, she isn't alone. Going to take a long time to get over this.

Worked well with Major Eric Joyce.

 

[treelover]

Yeah, cheers Axelrod. Kindly fuck off back to Washington now.

Fucks sake, its a game to them isn't it?

or a business

 

[Sprocket.]

Eric 'slugger' Joyce, didn't he leave the Army or face a discharge for some wrong doing?

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Worked well with Major Eric Joyce.

It's odd that he steps out with India Knight.

 

[Pickman's model]

Can the remaining 75% not camp outside queenys house and get her to change the rules like so it's a bit fairer for the rest of us - maybe Brand could lead this?

i favour a more permanent solution involving tumbrils and guillotines - which would attract far more tourists to the uk than the foul saxe-coburg-gotha dynasts have

 

[Pickman's model]

It's odd that he steps out with India Knight.

and steps in with the constabulary

Kin'ell Charles Clarke on now, I thought he had passed on!

sadly not

Ex labour voters just didn't buy labours offer on immigration, for them a living wage, etc, just meant that more migrants would come to take advantage of it, I am not sure what they can do.

This BBC 3d commons bollocks is fucking shite

Just in case anyone wasn't feeling punchy enough right now:

I should have got the day off work, that way I could just turn the internet and news for a few days

 

[butchersapron]

This is how being on the wrong side of the magnification set up works:

Andrew Cooper @AndrewCooper__
Labour only got 200,000 votes less than in 2005 - when they ended up with an overall majority of 66

I'm really not that certain immigration had much to do with it- do you live in an area with a high influx of immigrants? Have you worked the jobs alongside those people and the 'native' brit? I have and its not daggers at dawn.

One last time....

Have you ever wondered

Why I sound just like my deputy?
Does he seem redundant,

Or do I? (Oh baby)

Step into the booth,

Look down and face the truth:

A vote for me’s the same as a vote for any of us guys
(Any of us guys)

It’s sweeter when we all agree

A party political harmony

Lose your voting inhibitions

Join the one true coalition (coalition)

He’ll fire all your docs and nurses
He’ll clamp down on public service
He sold the railways to companies,
And we all agree on tuition fees!

Let’s sell off the parts of this broken nation,

Let’s shut the door on immigration

And if a few companies don’t pay tax, (tax!)

Let’s not grumble, what’s the harm in that?
(there’s no harm, baby!)

Austerity!


Austerity!
