UK Election - Results Thread

[Хahar 🤔]

My God this is depressing.  I just give up, looks like we'll lose seats this time around.

Listen my man, this is a rough night for me too, trust me. But if we dont rally up and keep the movement strong, itll only get worse. You never know when a BO for the LibDems will show up, and we must be strong for when it happens.

Why do you like the Liberals?

Fake socialist.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Labour hold Birkenhead (my constiuency)!

Not exactly a surprise.

Also, I missed the defeat of the most vile major party candidate in the election: LDs hold Sutton and Cheam over the Conservative candidate Philippa Stroud, who is a Jerry Falwell groupie.

Oh nice, I remember reading about her.

I know, but still.

Tories gain their 60th seat (Rugby)

What exactly is this Labour and Co-operative deal?

Libs are to the left of Labour on many issues.  In the very least, they're more left than Labour is.

What exactly is this Labour and Co-operative deal?

Co-op sponsors candidates on the left. They're effectively an interest group within the Labour Party.

Don't be silly.

What exactly is this Labour and Co-operative deal?

The Co-operative Party are a group of self-important lefties who endorse some Labour candidates who grovel a lot. They're totally irrelevant these days.

Oh so the UK has their own version of NY's Working Families Party?

It's kind of annoying because the Telegraph's map that I'm looking at colors those seats in gray for "other parties" instead of red for Labour.

[Хahar 🤔]

That's rather strange. The Telegraph ought to know its country.

The lack of color-coding for the NI parties besides Sinn Fein is annoying too. Don't the DUP have their own color anyway, some type of maroon?

Tories win Wirral West. Labour won it in 2005, but it was Tory on the new boundries.

You're the one being silly. The LibDems are clearly to the Left of Labour on a number of issues.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

There will be another election before Obama runs for reelection. Bank on it. The Lib Dems need to learn from this time and regroup.

[You kip if you want to...]

Blears reelected.

[Хahar 🤔]

Yes, but they're not to the left of Labour.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Wierdo Blears hangs on comfortably.

I don't get what they did wrong during the campaign

You expect a snap election?

Yes, but they're not to the left of Labour.

Depends on which issues are most important to you.

I guess. I think they have much less influence than the WFP, which does have clout in some elections. They're more comparable to the United Citizens Party, or whatever it's called, in South Carolina, in terms of sheer irrelevance. (Al might correct me here, but I think it's safe to say that the Co-op label means almost nothing these days.)

My advice is to use a different map.

BBC being very annoying in not giving us a final projection.  It's just a bit of fun, guys.

[You kip if you want to...]

Wirral South is gonna be close. The Tories need about a 4% swing, but all the seats so far in the Wirral Borough have shown little movement, even in Wirral West and Wallasey were alot of Ashcroft money was spent.

Do you have any? This is just the first one I found through googling while on break at work.

There's not going to be a very stable government obviously. I doubt we'll have another one this year or even in 2011, but early 2012 is a definite possibility.
