"all three main parties have lost" - Labour seem to have found their mantra early.

Don't worry, Preston will hammer them in the play-offs.

Another Lib Dem lost deposit in Swindon?

 

[treelover]

Here's what Neil Kinnock told me when I interviewed him in this week's NS: "That's always a danger ... There’s a superstition that somehow a Tory government will look after your pocket, it’s a triumph of propaganda over reality and people who tell pollsters that they’re not sure or they’re not going to vote Conservative will, in the privacy of the ballot booth, say: 'To hell with it, I’ll stick with what I know because they say they’re going to cut my taxes’ - even when their record is of course to have put taxes up.'"

Well according to the BBC it seems that the Tories may hoover up a lot of libdem seats. Further evidence that you should never trust a libdem supporter.

How does that work then considering the haemorrhaging of support was meant to be down to libdem voters feelingt betrayed by Nick selling out to the Tories? Is it that as a portion of them peel away to vote labour or Green, or other 'left' parties, those left are more right leaning, see their libdem vote would be worthless so defect to the Tories?

Latest news: desperately undersupplied in the wine department

Ditto, but oversupplied in the spirits dept, hence get to sleep before being hammered by the currently sleeping, silent majority

galloway demands recount

 

[Quartz]

This persistent talk of minority Conservative rule or alliance with another party irks me. I'd like to see one of the politicians take thesis out of the BBC by suggesting an alliance with Labour.

So the gobshite's lost?

Putney held by the vermin

One swallow does not a Summer make. They will have their night tonight, certainly. If the BBC poll is correct (ITBBPIC), they will have swept Scotland, but will not be in power. At that point, there will be a degree of disillusionment.

And who is then going to lead the unionist fight back against them then ?

" speaking in the BBC scotland studio is..erm..some bloke who couldn't get elected . From that party nobody joins any more..whaddyacall them....used to be big in the 90's..no..not the spice girls...". Cue laughter .

They were never planning to go into power . Just kick labour around for a bit while securing whatever concessions suited them . If the Tories get in even better for them ..the case against ending the union becomes even more obvious . The only disillusionment will be with the unionist side, what littles left of it .

Bloody iPad: the piss not thesis

Recount in Bradford West, it seems.

That would be a 30% swing from Respect to Labour. Bye bye George?

According to the exit poll, there should have been a 1% swing to Labour in Swindon N. There was a 4.3% swing to the Conservatives.

That would be my reading...

At least the purple turds came near the bottom (so to speak).

Iirc, the party and it's members favoured his brother? Ed got in through the backing of the unions who he then backslided when they asked for his endorsement of their industrial action?
I don't like the Tories one bit, but I absolutely detest the labour Tory lite.

It was a totally legitimate vote and the suggestion that he stabbed his brother in the back is just tory bullshit and belongs in bacon sandwich/dad was a commie who didn't support us in the war/he wasn't married etc. etc. territory.
