May 2015 UK General Election Campaign.

Holy shit. John Curtice suggesting Tories may be doing better than in the exit poll and may win an overall majority

[Warspite]

Thinking about it some more, what we may be seeing is the Lib Dem go down to their "real" voters - those who are centrist liberals closer to the Tories on the economy and closer to Labour on social issues. What has evaporated is the 'comfort vote' - people who wanted to vote, but not for the main parties, in a more cuddly, middle-class form of a protest vote.

I don't even know who this Galloway fellow is, but most of the British people in my feed are gloating about his demise.

Leader of a fringe left wing party, former Labour MP that was kicked out for supporting Saddam during the last Gulf War and supporter of almost every nasty regime you could imagine.

Yeah. He was kicked out for suggesting insurgents were right etc.

He also opposed the first Gulf War and went to salute Saddam's indefatigability.

Holy shit. John Curtice suggesting Tories may be doing better than in the exit poll and may win an overall majority

That would complicate Labour efforts to form a coalition.

I wonder if Cameron will bang his head against a wall if that comes to pass.

[Sheilbh]

Wrexham hold for Labour. But a swing to the Tories

[Warspite]

Labour not doing well in its London target seats apparently.

[Sheilbh]

This could make Cameron join Merkel as the only EU leader since the crisis began to win re-election?

Yep hearing there's maybe Lib Dem tactical voting for the Tories.

Already hearing that Miliband should stay on and is doing a good job. Poor man

I like the little parties:



Cannabis Is Safer Than Alcohol
Monster Raving Loony Party
Class War   



Then there's the Splitter's Brigade:

Workers Party
Socialist Labour Party
Social Democratic & Labour Party
Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
And of course Labour

I wonder if that Class War party belongs as well.

The Whig Party was back in my constituency.

Apparently Jim Murphy has lost his seat. 

[MadImmortalMan]

The MRLP is really just there for people who would otherwise spoil their ballot, right?

[Sheilbh]

Neil Kinnock bringing back the 80s Labour arguments 

Apparently Labour likely to lose Nuneaton - 37 on their target list.

SDLP is a parliamentary nationalist party on Northern Ireland.

[Sheilbh]

Recount in Hartlepool. Apparently UKIP-Labour. Tesco staff nervously eyeing the guacamole.

[Sheilbh]

Labour vote down in Nuneaton. Christ...

Interesting living through 1992 having heard so much about it from my parents.

Labour source to New Statesman: 'it's slit your wrists time'.

The leadership speculation begins.

It does feel a bit like 1992; that was the first election where I stayed up all night to watch the results.

At the same time it doesn't; it's a hell of a lot slower. By this time in 1992 something like 300 or more seats had declared.

If the Tories have managed clear water in the vote share the bloodbath among the polling companies will be quite interesting. I remember that being the case in 1992.
