UK General Election 2010

[The Archregimancy]

Labour hold my seat, East Lothian.

Not greatly surprising,.

Labour are doing well in Scotland so far. I suspect few seats will change hands up your way.

What's becoming increasingly clear (as the Tooting result comes in - a slightly surprising Labour hold) is that there's no uniform swing nationally in this election. Even in individual regions, there's surprising variation even between neighbouring seats, far more so than I've seen in any election I can remember. Though given how late it is, you may not want to trust my memory right now.


Edit:

LibDems fail to take their top Tory target seat, Guildford. LibDems are holding on in the seats they hold, but not gaining anything either. Maybe that exit poll was more correct than we thought.

That picture came out quickly.

[Tagmatium]

Huh, he looks like Cypher from the Matrix.

[Chumblywumbly]

72% turnout in Guildford.

On to my 3rd glass of Ardbeg of the night (Chumbly will approve)...

Heartily.

I'm on the local cider.

Also, fuck off chanting "yes we can".

I believe it was 'Yes we Khan', as the Labour candidate is Sadiq Kahn.

[Satirius]

Huh, he looks like Cypher from the Matrix.

IMO Mr. Smith

LAND IS POWER

[United Southernours]

IRA - Land is Power coalition

I'd vote it for the lulz

[South Norwega]

72% turnout in Guildford.

That low? How can you call yourselves a democracy?

I heartily approve of such chanting.

Cider is, of course, the way forward. It is known by all.

Made from apples.

Well, mostly apples.

Following on from my remarks on Labour doing well in Scotland - they're also doing well in Wales, holding on to both Ynys Mon and top Tory target the Vale of Clwyd.

This is still a hard one to call.

Edit:

In fact, returning to Wales, Labour have gained Blaenau Gwent from the sitting independent MP.

[SD_Film Artists]

Huh, he looks like Cypher from the Matrix.

IMO Mr. Smith

Forget about silly things like policies, I'd vote for him just for style XD

[Iridis]

LAND IS POWER!!

o/o/

[The Imperial Navy]

I see a trend starting here...

[Kamsaki]

Land is Power!

By the way, the Lib Dems are fuckin' Dying! How did we crash this badly?

Here's hoping we still push Labour out on the popular vote, but let's see.

[Tagmatium]

It is pretty cool.

[United Southernours]

I know really, what the hell happened to the Lib-Dems? I though they were going to get 80 Seats minimum.

[The Imperial Navy]

So far, it is looking like it's gonna be very close.

Seems though that Clegg isn't getting the result he was hoping for.

Seems like a lot of people didn't, in fact, agree with Nick.

Or Long Legged Cleggy-Weggy as he is apparently known on Twatter.

[Sidebody]

SNP get Angus

[Waterlow]

Land is Power!

We're dying when we're up against an incumbent Tory but otherwise holding. But that's not what was hoped for.

[Chumblywumbly]

This is still a hard one to call.

This one is going to be to the wire.

There isn't any pattern I can discern.

Especially this stuff.

I think it's clear though, that if Parliament is either hung, or the Conservatives lose, Cameron will get the chop.

And if Labour loses, it'll be bye bye brown.

Just remember, it's never because your policies are shit, or you have no idea what you're doing... it's always the leaders fault.

I wish I'd got my hands on some this evening, but I'd not planned on staying up to watch the results come in. Which is why, in my leftist ways, I've declared that a bottle of vodka is, in fact, common property of the (not really) working man, and proceeded to drink it.

It seems to be running out, sadly, although the effects are becoming apparent.

Typing becomes somewhat less instinctive, especially spelling.

I've discerned one....

Wales and Scotland still hate the Tories.

Any Conservative majority will be built almost exclusively on England, which is deliciously ironic for the self-proclaimed Conservative and Unionist Party.
