General Election 2015

[-:Undertaker:-]

From the latest data but generally as well, it looks as though the 'swivel eyed lunatics' like myself are going to plunge the knife in Dave's Tories.

ENGLAND & WALES ONLY figures from Sun/Sunday YouGov poll
CON 35
LAB 36
LD 8
UKIP 13
A CON to LAB swing since GE 2010 of 5.1%

Hard to see even taking Scotland into account how CON can be biggest party if there's a 5.1%swing to LAB in England and Wales

Is anyone staying up for it? I was going to but then some of the results are in at like 7am and I thought it'd finish at 4am

Yes I don't think I can be bothered staying up, they all seem very late.

Usually though with target seats like South Thanet, Sheffield Hallam, Thurrock you'll have an idea of the result based on what the parties are saying earlier.

vote labour

...but don't if you care about English girls under the age of 16.

Apparently my constituency is a tight race between the Conservatives and Labour, and maybe the Lib Dems. It's quite shocking as it used to be a Conservative stronghold.

[MKR&*42]

4:30am is when my constituency is expected to declare jfc.

Well I wake up at 6am so I can just check then and on the way to work

And I expect the overall result to be the same as 2010 (due to the LDs demise) and the same as every election before that going back to the '80s:

2010 Result:
Conservative: 25114 (51.6%)
Labour: 3239 (6.7%)
Lib Dem: 17631 (36.2%)
Green: 599 (1.2%)
UKIP: 1908 (3.9%)
Independent: 208 (0.4%)
MAJORITY: 7483 (15.4%)

Sitting MP: James Gray (Con)

I can't help but feel I will be disappointed with any outcome of this election. I don't want another Labour government, but I don't think the conservatives will improve this country greatly in any way over the next few years.

And God help England if the SNP get involved.

I hope they get the E4/X Factor/BGT voiceover guy; 'And now... it's time... for the... GENERAL ELECTION RESULTS'.

Then at the end Dermot can come on:

And with 280 seats each, it's deadlock. I can reveal that the party with the least votes and leaving the competition the tonight, is...

that pretty much would be amazing, and sum up the general population of the public.

whatever happens in this general election, UKIP deserved the majority of votes considering they are passionate about the country and have actually finally reached to millions of people of change needed.

although i do not agree on Russell brands view of UKIP, I agree entirely of his view on conservative.

I saw someone on my FB changed their profile picture to this:

Seems a little bit sexist to me :S

[-:Undertaker:-]

A lot of Tories talking about staying in office even if they can't form a majority with other parties....

No, it won't. https://t.co/jaRPUteiUN

To form a govt you need numbers in parliament. Voters elect MPs. The rest is noise. Counting to 324, not shouting, will determine whose PM.

— Alberto Nardelli (@AlbertoNardelli) May 5, 2015

@JohnnyIkon In a parliamentary system voters elect MPs. A government needs to command the confidence of parliament.

— Alberto Nardelli (@AlbertoNardelli) May 5, 2015

@JohnnyIkon MPs are accountable. They are the elected representatives. It's a "coincidence" that majority of MPs usually = largest party
