Pit villages outvoted the City again, by the look of it. Excellent.

Clegg is basically calling on the Tories to make him an offer.

Swing in Telford: 6.3% from Labour to Conservatives.

Wright did bloody well given what has happening over the Midlands outside the main industrial areas. He's now only non-Tory West Midlands MP from outside Greater Birmingham/Black Country, Potteries or Coventry.

I noticed during Cleggs's statement Harriet Harman got out of Dodge like she was wanted... Fire up the leadership campaigns, Brown is now spent.

Coaker has a massive personal vote. Excellent constituency MP.

The exclusion of Bangor from the district makes Aberconwy fall to the Tories.

Yes. Bethesda as well. But including them was enough to give my new (and generally worthless) MP more of a race than he was expecting, so, meh.

WOAH! Montgomeryshire. I've just had to check if that was right or not. Squinting

Now, this is big!

I've been predicting this for a few years. Arrogant fool got what was coming to him.

Hague has a really annoying voice.

That's because he's a sort of Yorkshire Dalek.

Lembit Opik seems like a decent, honest dude.

He's none of those things. Which is why he lost.

Recount in Birmingham Edgbaston, which really should have been an easy Conservative gain. We'll see.

Well, why vote Tory when you can have Gisela? Smiley

Wow, massive 17-point swing Lab -> LD in Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney, which is usually an ultra-safe Labour seat in the Welsh valleys. Labour still holds by 10 points or so, but I wonder what caused that.

Local government strength, more or less. A recent development.

LD fail to take Rochdale. And the swing to Labour: both loose, the Con fail to vote strategically in this case, though.

The home of that bigoted woman.

lol, quite.

Redcar has to be a huge swing, more than 15%. The LDs had been talking it up, but really...

According to the BBC website, the swing was 21.8% to the LibDems there.

Wasn't there some big factory (can't remember the name atm) closed down a few month ago? Could that be it?

The Corus steelworks, yeah. A lot of employees live outside the constituency, but it didn't look good. But - just as important - a strong LibDem base in local government. They'd also done very, very, very well in local by-elections there.

Substantial swing to Labour in Dumfries and Galloway. Conservatives will have only one seat in Scotland.

Dumfries itself votes like somewhere near Coatbridge, and Brown is (another) excellent constituency MP.

I'd expected this, actually. Labour were only narrowly behind in the county council elections last year; an absolute trainwreck in most places, and Holmes was hurt by the expenses scandal. It's also - you know - 'naturally' Labour.

It seems that Phil Woolas is unsinkable. I think this is the fourth election in a row that he was supposed to lose...

Teeny-tiny swing, though, in a seat they never had any business losing.

Popular incumbent. Shame she lost, but it was expected.
