The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

[evilwebby]

Tooting result:

LAB - 47.2% (+3.7)
CON - 41.9% (+3.4)
GRN - 4.1% (+2.9)
LDEM - 3.9% (-10.9)
UKIP - 2.9% (+1.6)

0.2% swing from Con to Labour.

0.2%! What is happening?

Doesn't mean anything really, the collapse of the LD vote has almost been evenly spread around everyone else.

The Jocks will be looking another referendum if this EU referendum is decided by UKIP, Tory Eurosceptics and the right wing press.

And they will win the vote next time.

Who cares........

Mold is basically an almost all-pub town, its great and has been ever since Woolworths closed and all the scouse kids had nowhere to nick stuff out of during trips to Colomendy.

Or not... FFS





So everyone has been in The Tiv and not at the polling stations!

I've got to be honest, if I were them, I'd be voting out too. After this election, it'd probably be a 80/20 win for "Yes."

Won't happen this decade though IMO. But hopefully they've woke up to how dangerous it is to basically hand the keys to Downing Street to the Tories by voting for SNP, who threatened English politics with their influence.

It really has been an election won by the anti-Scottish English.

Is it too early to start speaking about leadership contests?

Andy Burnham clear favourite, next election night we could be cheering a blue into number 10

(Yes I'm fast losing hope and already looking beyond tonight)

Anyone in England who wants to see a Labour government again.

Oh it's definitely over.

Burnham has a chance, better than Cooper IMO. Maybe too soon for Umunna, who knows.

Either way, Miliband is toast.

Drastic electoral reform would follow a Scottish split anyway, it's pointless looking at current boundaries in relation to future elections if that happened.

oh my.. BBC comment "in these early seats... Labour have been doing even slightly worse than the exit poll"

I can't blame any Scot for voting SNP and I would have done the same if I lived there.

If that Battersea result is typical, then we are looking at a Con MAJORITY
