So, finally home. Been watching it all day. Crazy to think that 24 hours ago a lot of us were thinking that Miliband would be trying to organise something together right now, maybe trying to run a Labour minority or a coalition government and we've got completely the opposite result.
Obviously great news if your a Tory or SNP supporter. Labour losing the Scottish vote was pretty much predicted and not a surprise at all - and it didn't impact on the election. Labour didn't make the gains it needed in England and Wales - the Tories had them firmly beat. Will be interesting to see what Labour brings with Miliband, Harman and Balls gone.
UKIP, disaster really, although relatively speaking not as bad as other parties. Came 3rd in voting as expected, but to lose a seat isn't good. Farage is gone, a part of me hopes he doesn't end up being leader again. Maybe we'll see him presenting Top Gear.
Lib Dems, it was expected they would collapse, I'm not shocked that they collapsed this much either. The coalition killed them.
In regards to FPTP, I don't agree with it, I voted for AV back in 2011 but it wouldn't have changed anything. I remember reading an article a few weeks back which predicted that with AV, the Conservatives would probably get a majority government because a lot of UKIP voters would probably back the Tories as a 2nd choice. Look what we ended up with anyway. AV probably would have gave a bigger majority to the Tories I think. Plus, we won't see any changes coming soon. Why would the Tories want to change anything?
Really still looking forward into how all the polls were wrong. Also wondering if Ashdown will eat a hat because to be fair, the exit poll wasn't correct, it said that the Lib Dems would do better than they did and it would be a hung parliament
