Right, the results should come piling in from now on till about 3.

Interesting result from Ynys Mon?

Tories doubled their vote, it seems.

It's kinda amusing how throughout history, it always seems to be Red vs Blue...

Labour vs Conservatives
Republicans vs Democrats
Jedi vs Sith
And of course...

Kinda makes me think it's all linked...

Tories doing good. It's still early, I really am thinking the Tory swing will bring about a Majority Government

And by doing so seem to have stopped Plaid from unseating Labour in one of their top targets.

Though since Plaid took Arfon, I'm still on for a 4 seat total for the Welsh Nationalists.


Edit:

The first Scottish results are showing a swing away from the Tories and towards Labour (in Scotland only)

Is it just me, or this the most interesting election in Northern Ireland in a very long time....


The Alliance party win was quite convenient for me, as I was just saying that I was expecting to see the current sectarian divisions in NI begin to fade away in the next few decades.

Watching the BBC, with Kirkcaldy & whatsit, the "Land is Power" candidate's reaction when his 57 votes were read out was amusing.

Ah, but if you keep this page open in a separate tab, then you don't have to worry about the BBC cutting away.

Both the Labour and LibDem votes went down slightly as the Conservative vote went up.

The Conservatives seem to have saved Labour in both Ynys Mon and Durham now. See, a vote for Cameron is a vote for Brown.

Yes, of course I'm being facetious.
