[robgmun]

Why do the bbc keep cutting to safe labour declarations?

Their going to do all declarations, aren't they?

Why do the bbc keep cutting to safe labour declarations?

Cause they are the only ones in so far.....

 

[Kenai]

Isn't that always the way?

Yes, exactly why I say there is no excitement to be had from vote share numbers, they mean nothing now and anything the Conservatives MAY propose will be exceedingly unlikely to make them meaningful either.

The status quo will not be rocked by anyone in the near future.

I'd rather watch all the declarations and solid results than someone waffling on about predictions.

Why? That thread should be merged with this one. Two threads aren't needed.

Which is wrong and needs to change.

Agreed.

It seems a little undemocratic IMO when people have taken the time to cast their vote.

However, the UKIP swing, points gain, proportion of the vote will put pays to anyone dismissing them as some fringe insignificant party like the greens.

So how could every poll up to now be so far out if this is correct?

Because they are just opinion polls, unrelated to how the votes are divided in each constituency.

Whilst ever we have a Tory led government you can kiss any idea of electoral reform goodbye, they only set to lose from it.

Rubbish.

I was going to go to bed around 2am but this is all too exciting now. Will try and last the whole night.

What happened when we had the vote to ditch FPTP for AV?

A fringe that's predicted to win as many seats as UKIP?

If the exit polls are correct, I think Ed Milliband and Ed Balls will be out pretty soon.

Ed Milliband simply doesn't have the charisma (I know that shouldn't matter but sadly it does) and Balls will be proved to have too much baggage associated with the Gordon Brown tenure.

You do realise the system was originally bought in to help a Labour government win/stay in, right?

Make your point more clearly then?

Learn to read sentences?

 

[n111ck]

Labour = 3

Others = 0

3/650

Are you desperate to pad your post count?
