maggiespaws 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'll say one thing (which has been said earlier) whomever wins tonight has their work cut out for them because as a country we are still in the shite. It's going to get worse before it gets better. Regardless of the party that gets in, business is going to suffer one way or another. Some harsh decisions will have to be made and its going to hurt imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20413 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 This is all too depressing. Democracy 2010. Everybody gets what nobody wants. Or something. Night folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15111 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Torbay is...................held by the Lib Dems, by a few thousand Small swing from the Tories to the Lib Dems, even. Shows that the exit polls simply don't reflect the Lib Dems' strategy of focusing on the seats where they have a chance and completely ignoring the rest. I wonder how many "Con gain from LD" seats are factored into that original exit poll. And I wonder how many of them the Lib Dems will actually hold. And I wonder if that'll be enough to prevent an overall majority... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 If a Tory maj can be avoided that will be a small mercy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Gordon Brown up soon. [Edit]: He tonked the others including the bloke from the Command a Conquer games and a bloke who is wearing a blazer/high Vis jacket combo. I think the Lib Dems will keep quite a few that the Tories are after, and nick a few from Labour. Labour have held a few Welsh seats. Lib Dems hold a seat in Fife, and City of Durham is...........actually I missed that one. Battersea is a Tory gain, Labour hold Smogborough and Durham NW.

Craig 6575 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 So both Kinnock and Blunkett reckon the Tories have this won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15111 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 City of Durham held by Labour... I hereby backtrack. Exit poll looks a lot more feasible now - high turnout = bad night for the Lib Dems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Odd that the Bear from Bo Selecta is being used as a pundit. And hasn't he lost his hair since he was last on TV. Hang on, that's Nick Robinson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16505 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 National swing is up to 6.2%. Tories looking at around 319 seats. How many do they need for an overall majority? must be close to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) 326 seats for a majority Seems like a pretty crap night for the Lib Dems, sadly. Edited May 7, 2010 by Billy Castell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 16505 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 326 seats for a majority fucks sakes.....well, am off to Benidorm tomorrow on a stag do till Monday so I'll miss the worst of the smug fuckers braying all over the country....only the 5 years to go after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10422 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'm off to bed too, this is only going to get worse and I couldn't bear CT's Cameron mask of smug I hope to revisit this thread in a few years and see if the fears of the majority on here were realised and if anybody changes their mind.

Meenzer 15111 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Tories have taken several seats in Wales, including Lembit's. Cameron's our next PM now, I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Tories starting to go through the gears, it ain't looking good. Having a nice single malt (Strathisla) to toast the end of an era, hopefully see that my home constituency hasn't fallen and then off to bed, and I'll see what carnage awaits me in the morning.

Craig 6575 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Not sure if Tories are gaining enough for a majority mind... will be a few hours I'd expect before we'll find out for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15111 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I suspect they won't get an overall majority, but they'll have enough of a minority to rule, if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6575 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Harrogate is a big gain for them - Eastbourne is a significant loss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15111 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Harrogate is a big gain for them - Eastbourne is a significant loss though. A good old Gossy High mate of mine is responsible for the Eastbourne campaign, so I'm delighted for him. It's all about the personal stories now as far as I'm concerned - the aforementioned, Bridget, and hopefully some good news in tomorrow's locals too.

Meenzer 15111 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Newcastle Central stays comfortably Labour despite the BNP's campaign against a brown person representing it. Based on those figures, East and North will stay easily red too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
