Labour's grand plan:

Get as many onto the pay roll, be it public sector pay or benefits. Get as many immigrants into the country as possible.

Then tell both groups above, if you don't vote Labour....Conservatives will screw you over and take it all away.

Such a shame :(

I agree.

Labour have ruined this country by looking after the work shy,themselves and immigrants.

Either conservatives and lib dem thrash out some kind of deal (unlikely) or we'll need another election.

I agree - either it's a thrashed out Tory/Lib dem coalition or they need to call another election. Lab/Lib Dem coalition wouldn't be strong enough, thing is I don't see Cameron wanting to talk to the Lib dems.

Assuming of course that Labour + LD seats total more than 325. If they don't, they're going to have to make concessions to nationalists. That'd be tough to swallow for English voters.

That wouldn't be popular with a lot of Welsh or Scottish voters either, who don't vote for the nationalists, which is a large majority of the population.

True. I'd suspect at least the Scottish and probably the Welsh nationalists would be more inclined to prop up a Lab/Lib coalition than a Con/Lib one.

Plaid Cymru said this morning they'd want an extra £300m to support a New Labour coalition government on top of what Wales gets now, with about similar for Scotland if New Labour need the SNP support as well.

The anti-Scottish press was bad enough before this election so it'll be fun to watch now that it'll cost them about £1 billion and more so if Gordon Brown stays in power.

Hopefully this will at least make the Tories try to bring in a new election system.
 
Right then round 2 coming up

Torys wont do a deal with LD - and shouldn't with Labour if they are true to themselves.
In the mean time lets watch the City slide down 10% or so.
 
no there will be trouble ahead we face a bigger problem than greece its just that they dare not tell us.

You watch this space over next 2 months
 
I've just mailed my MP (who won again, although with a reduced majority), querying whether, given her repeated use of appealing to the majority over everything else in our previous correspondence, she could possibly support Labour retaining control of government with their massively reduced vote share.

For the record

2005
  • Labour - 35.7% of the vote, 356 seats, majority of 47
  • Conservative - 32.3% of the vote, 198 seats

2010 (current at 10:22)
  • Labour - 29.2% of the vote, 247 seats
  • Conservative - 36.1% of the vote, 290 seats

Just goes to show how unbalanced the constituencies currently are.

Are you telling me i have to put up with that gordon browns face for another five years, oh my god, what a disaster of democracy.

that is probably one of the most unlikely things to happen, I would even go so far as to say it won't happen.
 
The City doesn't give a monkeys about a hung parliament, it's priced in already. If it slides it will be on the madness that Skynet performed on the American markets yesterday.

Now we get to see how much Nick Clegg really values the opinion of the people... Especially as the Tories got a greater share of vote than labour did in 2005, and Labour got a smaller share of the vote than the Tories did in 2005...

The Lib Dems have three times the mandate of the difference between the Tories and Labour. While the combined vote of Labour and the Liberals also constitutes a plurarity. I don't think it can be seriously argued that a Lib-Lab pact represents the will of the people less than a minority Tory government.

It is already tough to swallow, Tories have 100 more seats than Labour in England ... yet somehow they are not our government.
I say good riddance to the socialist north, and hello the end of the union.
