:lol :lol Love how Paxman was interviewing a Conservative and you suddenly hear a whispering of the words '16,000 jobs to go'

Yeah, I heard that and was all "WTF was that?!" :lol
 
David Davis is talking shit

"we would have 305 and as long as the other parties don't act irresponsibly we could govern"

bitch, that's not how it works!

no results from any of the seats near me, they should have come in during the last hour.. i hate the waiting.
Same here, all the Sheffield seats were due an hour and a half ago. None of them seem to have come.
 
Going to lunch now. Hopefully I come back and the LDs have miraculously won 100 seats.

:/

This is shaping up nicely.

Yep.

I know quite a few people on here dislike the Tories, but I personally don't - me and my family have suffered pretty badly since labour came into power, and the conservatives are the only people with policies that I feel will help me. So I'm happy.
 
My God almighty...A Tory Hedge Fund Manager beat an incumbent Independant candidate. One who's been massively concerned with saving Hospitals from cuts...All I can say is...

"i dont agree with his Bart-killing policy, but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy"

i just wanted to use this quote

Millionaire?

Far from it. We're in the middle, which under Labour terms means we're essentially worthless. If I were a millionaire, I wouldn't be holding down two jobs and neither would my dad need to. However, if we were too lazy to work, we'd get benefits galore. Which isn't right.

Felt pretty sorry for the guy, Ive never heard of him before, but it sounds like he did a lot of good.

My thoughts pretty much sum up the whole night for me though.
 
The independant guy campaigned to save his local hospital, but in the end he failed. While it seemed like he generally did a good job as an MP, i wouldn't say its a travesty
 
Yeah, I barely know what's going on and I don't think it was a surprise that the LD will tank at the end.

What I find funny though is that you guys now basically have the same parliamentary makeup as Canada... and speaking as a dude who has gone through 3 elections in 5 years, enjoy it while you can. :lol

Lib Dems = Epic Fail.

i think the clearest indication was that old bigot womens constituency. they saw minus 6 drop whilst torries got an plus 8. I think the labour lead was 500-1000 and they couldn't overturn it.

that time again

He lost to a hedge fund manager. A fucking hedge fund manager.
