2015 UK General Election campaign & aftermath discussion thread.

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

labour is doing worse than the exit poll is projecting. this is so terrible

Getting some hard realism tonight young Louie. xps

Lib Dems getting absolutely rinsed here

Just when you think the smugness quotient couldn't get any higher, first sighting of fat slug Salmond

ukip results making me angrier than labour/conservative ones, what the fuck, this is fucking idiocy

i can envisage a respected local tory mp getting votes from good people but ukip is just fucking idiocy, ugly stupid moronic idiocy

xxp probably regretting he gave up the leadership, though head of the caucus in Westminster will have its compensations I suppose

not afraid to risk an ilafl-ing from nakhers there

mark the ukip voter needs to be disembowelled live on telly

I can't really even understand Tory voting. West Londoners and posh people sure, but who the fuck else? ugh ugh

refreshingly unstereotypical Green supporter on TV there

Young people eh?

guh John Sopel suggesting that Labour's campaign was "too left wing" wtf

Salmond on STV there tripping him some Churchill

personal hero & colleague of mine is a tory voter - one of the most important people i've ever met and as far as i'm concerned a brilliant individual. his reasoning is that the tory mp in his area is a local of many years' standing & is demonstrably invested in helping the constituency

in such circumstances i can fully understand a tory vote, but in no others

Ed Miliband's spokesman just called him David on the BBC - hope he has a second job.

gonna move to have tooting secede from the rest of south west london

(he's working class & comprehensive-educated btw, i've disowned virtually all of my peers xxp)

xxp that was John Sopel I think, BBC journalist!

hurrah, green > lib dem in tooting

i saw that it was predicted to be close and i voted accordingly, grimly lol'ing at my vote actually having some kind of effect
