Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[muon]

So which of these seats are Labour hoping to hold in Scotland? Can we have some real information please.

I think that Falkirk returning officer is the woman who was in charge of the Scottish referendum.

/random fact

Glad I stayed up to watch now. With any luck no chance for Jim Murphy either and scenes at Daily Record.

 

[dbilsborough]

nice to see Sarah Millichan as the returning officer

A plant-pot with a SNP ribbon would take these seats in this election.

That makes me wonder if we could see a Cleggie defection at some point.

They want to hold on to anything they can; looks like they'll lose everything.

34831.... mental!


How are the SNP going to enact changes etc and what they want if they're not wiling to bed in with the Conservatives?!

First big casualty - Douglas Alexander is gone.

Someone has already changed his Wikipedia entry to reflect that. So fast!

Edinburgh wasnt it, or their only hope.

The seats under their backside.

However what the hell is going to happen in Scotland now?
The only thing that makes sense, to me at least. Is in exchange for more devolution, no Scottish voting on uk only matters.

Thanks. This BBC coverage is awful.

The SNP have done the Tories a big favour by burying Labour, so I'm sure they'll accomodate them a little.

I think the official line is it's ******.

Or they'll just carry on moaning and whining.

Can you imagine being in the gallery trying to mix in 120+ camera feeds and separate audio feeds? It must be a nightmare.

 

[squerble]

Given the SNP steamrollering happening here, but their effective lockout if it's (likely) a Tory government, what does this mean for the future of the UK. Could the UK start to break up? Could there be another referendum on Scottish Independence?

 

[thebennyboy]

On the Wales election stream the sound keeps cutting out when they are declaring results. The Beeb seems to be doing an awful job.

 

[dbilsborough]

LD 80 votes? - must have misheard that lol

 

[Amp34]

Why?

Why exactly? That picture shows nothing? Boundary changes won't help the smaller parties get MPs.

Look at the vote share and seats of the top three parties.

While its a small sample at the moment it's consistent with previous elections. Inner city (generally labour) and non English seats generally have far fewer people in their constituencies than those in generally conservative seats (small towns and countryside.

It's one of the reasons Labour were/are so against boundary changes and the conservatives wanted changes to make them more even, it benefits Labour and harms the conservatives consistent.

The commentary is awful. Nothing very insightful.
