[George Hincapie]

Shame for big Nigel to be gone, I mean he loves tweed and drinking, what's there not to like?

He's a character for sure.

The bigotry, xenophobia, shameless & vacuous scaremonger-politics, little Englander mentality?

He is enough of a worm of a politician to go back on that however and hang around, so you shouldn't start worrying yet.

Apparently there's a recount in Bradford West... Hope this means that Galloway is out.

They could have stood for a No vote without teaming up with the Tories.

You're going to have to define what "teaming up" means. They both campaigned for "No" and so they will always look aligned.

In fact, Labour were probably more vocal about it because it means more to them.

Jesus, Nicola Sturgeon is married.

It's nice to see green getting more support than I would expect

Nigel hasn't been for a pint this evening then.

What has been seen, cannot be unseen

Misleading to say the vote has been split like that. I doubt LD voters switched to UKIP.

edit:

oh dear lol

Garage not being in the Commons will be a blessing in disguise for him.

I think he's at a party in Margate. Gave a very quip interview on itv a while back about how the media said UKIP would split the tory vote which hasn't happened so far so he just walked off into the pub or venue.

I don't understand the Lib Dem collapse. People seem to be saying were not voting for you because you gave too much ground in the coalition, and sold out your principles.

So we'll vote Conservative instead.

Every candidate forks up £500 to stand. If you get less than 5% of the vote, you don't get that money back.

Cant go to bed have to be up in 5 hours, wont be productive at work tomorrow

[Glaucus]

I can now handle this one
Each candidate has to put up £500 if they get 5% of the vitro or more it's refunded.

 

[Azza]

Is right lads. All them Mold heads have got themselves out of the Wetherspoons.
