UK Election - Results Thread

Maybe the voters shouldn't have turned up at 9:50 expecting there to be no que.

Pretty much my thought.  But then I voted at lunchtime so I can feel smug.

I knwo right. How hard is it for these people go after work or during their lunch break? They had 15 whole hours to vote.

In Tyrone West: 3.8% swing from Democratic Unionist to Sinn Fein.
In Antrim North: DUP won, but there's no swing info yet.

North Antrim swing of 13.2 DUP -> TUV; the TUV had not stood there before.

Completely irrelevant. Voters were told they had until 10 P.M. to show up and vote. To not allow anyone who showed up before that time is disgusting disenfranchisement. Period.

Margaret Hodge doesn't sound completely confident.

[Franzl]

I don't see what the big scandal is.....it may be a stupid law, but if British law requires that nobody be given a ballot paper after 10pm, shouldn't the voters be aware of this?

Shock result in Northern Ireland - The Alliance's Naomi Long has upended DUP leader Peter Robinson in Belfast East.

[Meeker]

Great result!

What do you all think the results would have been without Brown's "bigoted woman" gaffe?

Peter Robinson is the NI First Minister.  Wow.

Lib Dems hold Thornbury & Yate.

4.3% swing from Conservatives to Lib Dems there.

[Joe Republic]

WOOOO ALLIANCE!

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

A huge win for the Alliance Party in Belfast East.

[Sewer]

WOOOO ALLIANCE!

i know

[Phony Moderate]

Peter Robinson is out....lulz.

[Silent Hunter]

Average swing now 6% Labour to Conservative. Still no marginals called.

[cinyc]

Labour holds Darlington and Durham North in the North East of England.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Thornbury and Yate is a BIG deal if that happens across the country Lib Dem ---> Tory

It already was a Lib Dem seat, though.

AND I got the swing backward - it was 4.3% from Lib Dems to CONSERVATIVES, not the other way around.

[Chancellor of the Duchy of Little Lever and Darcy Lever]

Hooray, Peter Snow's back on the election night programme!

The Swing I mean, not a gain of course. 4.3%

Absolutley - if that holds in other places, they'll gain some Liberal Democrat seats.
