Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***

[Darg]

Remember most of Labour seats in London are yet to come. London is mostly Labour.

Didn't realise that, I figured with the middle classes in london they'd be mostly tory.

If Esther Ranson gets in I'm going to cry.

 

[meghatronic]

Given the amount of seats counted and the amount of seats tories have so far they look to be getting around 313 seats. 13 short of the majority. Labour should get 242 and Lib dems will hopefully get 50.

All up in the air still of course but it really doesn't look like a labour/lib dem government will be possible. Looks like a hung parliament with tories/LD government after. Pretty much as expected.

313 is more than enough for a minority government to work effectively... and plus DUP etc.

Recount in Ed Ball's constituency!

Oh please, please *please* let him go. He has to be my least favourite politician of all time... and I lived & voted through the 80's and have quite a long list of least favourite MPs!

Bloody 'ell!
21% swing in Red Car to Lib Dems from Labour!
Crikey.

Why's that, anyone local?

I'm not local but wasn't it something to do with corus steel

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Conservatives have reached their existing seat count (195).

 

[Robbo]

God I hope Jacqui Smith goes.

HAHA Esther did terribly

 

[Ahleckz]

Good.

 

[bam0]

Evan Harris having gone will be to the detriment of the science and technology select committee, shame.

 

[Haiku]

Esther Rantzen failed miserably.

 

[neil3k]

hahaha **** you esther rantzen

 

[Amp34]

Well that was expected, it is Luton...

 

[Viper²]

Ester Failtzen.

313 is more than enough for a minority government to work effectively... and plus DUP etc.

Conservatives are notoriously bad when they're weak, let alone a minority government, it will be very much in their interest to do a solid coalition deal with someone to secure a majority.

I doubt that will be Clegg, unless he bites his lip and ignores all his policies and becomes Cameron's ****.

 

[meghatronic]

139 of 265 to go... getting close

# 04:23

The BBC's freelancer in Redditch says that the official declaration is still 10 minutes away but the counting has ended and local councillors from both the Conservative and Labour camps say that former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has lost her seat to Conservative Karen Lumley.

Please let this be true!

 

[G-MAN2004]

Barking count taking ages. Might go to sleep now.

 

[Tweaker]

Please let this be true!

I hope they put her defeat on TV

 

[Robbo]

Redditch coming up now!
