2015 UK General Election campaign & aftermath discussion thread.

Swing from L to C by 4%

in Swindon.

hey Noodle Vague, a word on the Lib Dems' performance there?

BBC fucked up showing the results!

i'm guessing they got a solid 5th place?

we need to build a wall along the M62 and secede i think

fuck that swindon swing is tory majority territory

they were solidly 5th again, yes, although I think they were within about 15 of the greens this time

really wish i'd bought cake on the way home tonight

Glad I did but now feeling sick from ramming it all into my fat face

LIB DEMS 3RD, DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

lib dems beat greens in putney, booooooo

I'm feeling sick and I didn't even get cake xp

nudging ahead of greens, impressive

i've done a load of washing tonight, i think that's what's taking the edge of the worst election result in history

mind you the greens beat ukip for the first time too

fuck that swindon swing is tory majority territory

Yeah, sorry. Looking on the down side all round now.

Need to wait for that first marginal.

almost finished my bottle of wine, i'm not gonna last m8s

Professor John Curtice says that the swing to the tories in swindon may mean that the exit poll is accurate

I had a healthy filling optimistic meal. Now I am eating a big lump of cheese and drinking wine from the bottle

the really hard bit over the next few days is not throat-punching the gloating wankers you'll run across irl

makes sense. i got a new mattress today. I'm going to make my bed, and then lie in it. *like this country*

Big contrast between my social media bubbles tonight. England is just having a terrible and depressing night, but Scotland is facing an absolutely epochal landslide and trying to figure out what that actually means. God we could use some actual results already

Nick Robinson off home to spend the night fucking his Thatcher realdoll

I'm drinking beer and eating crunchy nut cornflakes. it's not good.

fuck this country to its rotten bones

that's england

bitter farage raised a v slight smile.

I still have to have dinner, fuck knows what I'll find.

Swindon South is the marginal, at 3am or so.

credible 4th for the Lib Dems in Newcastle, starting to pick up some momentum

i just hope vapers in power can pull off a shock

trying to work out how the greens would have done with a leader who wasn't a complete embarrassment in public - maybe would have beaten ukip a few more times idk

hurrah, green > lib dem in tooting

Lesley Riddoch killing it on STV. Don't think many of the other talking heads tonight know much about the DUP or their pure cuckoo positions

lib dems should rebrand as the tooting unpopular front

Scotland is facing an absolutely epochal landslide and trying to figure out what that actually means

5 more years of Tory government

Vince Cable apparently fucked.

Yeah, but them all voting Labour wouldn't have changed the UK picture anyway; it's a staggering change at home and I don't think anybody's grasped the implications of it; there are just too many.

Scottish Secretary will have to be someone from the Lords at this rate too

Don't make me cry, Neil Kinnock.

Don't make me cry Curtice (poss Con majority)

i just need to watch a channel showing images of all the spoiled ballots, that might cheer me up

game over man, game over

Lib Dems basically voting Tory, cunts, always were.

Battersea has gone the wrong way, swing of 1.7% from L to C.

See post above

Lib Dems basically voting Tory, cunts, always were.
Lib Dems basically voting Tory, cunts, always were.
Lib Dems basically voting Tory, cunts, always were.

This is seriously fucked.

i guess expecting everyone to follow me from lib dem to green was fuzzy idealism

"surge to Nationalism" is such a shitty dishonest prepacked excuse
