Poll: The official I voted/election results thread

[D13]

Could well be the last GE with Scotland as part of the union. Something a bit scary about that. But hey, if it happens it's the will of the people.

I know its local, but DUP taking East Belfast here from Alliance is a pretty big thing.

Painful watching Labour trying to talk their way out of this mess.

The Labour party don't really seem prepared for what's happening to them right now.

When's Sheffield Hallam being announced?

BBC website is saying 5.00AM (PA). Whatever (PA) means I don't know. Probable Announcement?

 

[Tummy]

The BBC site is rubbish at the minute .

This isn't going to end well for anyone.
It's going to be fighting and a disaster.
Unlike com/lib who did what needed for the country.

Especially if the Conservatives end up doing well in England - will only reinforce the SNP's rhetoric about freeing Scotland from the Torys

2 Labour gains in England now.

We'll see if the exit polls are correct on some of these seats now.

The BBC Wales election coverage page is showing results for Scotland... The beeb are a total joke.

Swingometer time!

Pffff... knew i shouldn't have bothered voting. Should have just spoiled it. First election i've voted in and have NO confidence at all. They wonder why young people are reluctant to vote.

Yes but how you draw that population equalised grid matters. The electoral commission could in theory do it at random and leave it at that, but that will favour one party over another arrangement.

The ONS output areas are for example an excellent basis to start from. How you group these output areas to build constituencies is where subjectivity comes in.

I bet Shirley Williams is choking on her Horlicks tonight.

So you regret voting because the party you voted for doesn't look likely to win? Poor show, chap
