It so proves how tolerant Britain is - something to be really proud off

policywonk · 07/05/2010 17:14

Every single BNP candidate in either local or national elections has been defeated. That's worth a whoop.

jenny60 · 07/05/2010 17:13

still bloody fascinating,though, even for the walking dead like me. I still think labour did ok in the circumstances and GB looked by the far the most decent and statespersonlike today. I was proud.

I don't see how NC can get into bed with the Tories. Many of my friends voted Lib Dem, but they would never have voted Tories. It was Lab or Lib for them. They are all going to want their vote back.

Really pleased Labour regained Coventry. I lived there for a while and couldn't believe they would let in anyone other than Labour.

Have I missed any TV announcements since 3pm?

I think I've decided that Gordon should withdraw gracefully and not try and scrabble for scraps. He wasn't elected, he doesn't have most seats, he should concentrate on getting the Labour party BACK in whenver that is (hopefully not too long) stronger and fitter, and meanwhile being a formidable opposition. Which they will be. So long as they don't implode in a lot of recriminations and back-biting after this week, which Labour are wont to do sometimes.

Remember, this decision isn't Clegg's to make. He's got to get the agreement of his MPs, the national executive and party members.

Have not read all this thread as been out all day but i have to say as a labour supporter i am really depressed at the way things are unfolding. I thought that a lot of labour and lib dem supporters had voted tactically to keep the tories out . So i cannot believe that Nick Clegg may do deals with the Conservatives it just seems so wrong to me.

elkiedee · 07/05/2010 17:01

Interestingly, Labour are doing rather well in local government elections. They've taken Enfield off the Tories (!), Liverpool from the Lib Dems, and several NOCs including Coventry. The Tories have lost a few to NOC.

Thank you

taffetacat · 07/05/2010 16:57

Maybe Nick could be the Ham's Whigmaker

MarionCole · 07/05/2010 16:54

Surely the LibDem elders won't allow him to get into bed with the Hameron. Especially if there is an alternative deal with Labour/SNP/Plaid Cymru on the table.

I rather like the noble idea of a referendum followed by another election. Hameron will never offer that.

ImSoNotTelling · 07/05/2010 16:51

DC has a face like a big shiny ham.

Apparently.

KayHarker · 07/05/2010 16:50

So tell me again why I voted the way I did in a swing seat. Pah.

motherlovebone · 07/05/2010 16:50

DCs arse er, face i mean...

i know marion fucking hypocrites eh?

MarionCole · 07/05/2010 16:48

Clegg may have Tory leanings but the rest of the party doesn't.

MarionCole · 07/05/2010 16:48

How could the LibDems join up with the Tories when they have asserted for years that they are more left wing than Labour? Surely they will lose massive support if they sell out like that.

Ninjacat · 07/05/2010 16:46

I'm too tired to work it out please someone whisper in my ear what the Ham thing is all about?

KnottyLocks · 07/05/2010 16:44

SHAMbolic Party?

Agree Pfft, Conservatives name not really appropriate. Hamservative better. Or Hamstervatives. HamsTory?

Maybe not.

motherlovebone · 07/05/2010 16:37

spam party ( ham conserved )

PfftThePinkoLeftyDragon · 07/05/2010 16:32

I would like to see several new parties. With decent names that actually tell you what they are about. Because Liberal Democrats - not that liberal. AND, there is no mention of the ham in Conservatives, what is that about?

I mean - Green Party - does what it says on the tin. Don't want to have to refence UKIP or BNP, but they are what they are (tossers, natch).
