To worry I'm going to get seriously depressed as the night goes on

[Seeingthebeautyineveryminute]

I have a sicky feeling in the pit of my stomach that we are going to be lumbered with 5 more years of Tory rule. Please let it not be so.

I know someone who is on dialysis, who is being forced to find work. He has no chance in find any work.

Didn't you know beyond that plunging people into poverty will encourage them to not be disabled anymore and find work

This election is not about individual needs. It's about the needs of the country. A United Kingdom hopefully.

What's everyone think of the results so far, do Labour stand a chance?

Fixed - or, y'know, starve and die. Nothing reduces benefit money like a load of scroungers dying.

Anyway, i'd better get some sleep. Have one of my many (wonder if my forced job will give me time off?) hospital appts in the morning. Better take my chequebook, goodbye nhs.

goodnight beyond. I should too but I'm wired.

Next election will be Labour or a coalition. We always swing between the two but the other parties are starting to influence. this election is a stepping stone.

good Lord the snp

I'm a bit tired so forgive me if this is a stupid question but I can't get my head around the swing from libdem to tory. Why oh why if you were a previous libdem voter and felt you couldn't support them this time because of their role in the coalition would you switch to the tories?! Why not labour?

I'm tired too so this is probably a rubbish answer but I think a lot of these people switching voted Tory before 2010. Also I think Labour have won a seat from libdems and may win a few more

Ok thank you for the response given the hour! So the libdems basically haemorrhage in both directions. V sad.

And the Lib Dems have lost the significant student vote they courted in 2010.

Yes and traditionally I understand lib dems as middle ground with Tories to the right. So it's common for people to interchange between the two

I feel that LDs are out of touch with immigration, Europe and need for tougher terrorism laws.

Until the coalition I'd have said that libdems were considerably to the left of the tories. That's why I'm confused as I thought that a more natural switch for a disallusioned libdem would be to labour.

i could be wrong but i think part of the thinking of conservative voters is that if more people get jobs, or benefits are taken or restricted for those that maybe are abusing the system, there will be more money through taxes and the cuts to re allocate this money to those that are disabled and those that really do need the extra help?

and just re reading that may have seemed a bit condescending (for want of a better word) but it was a sincere train of thought

Under the coalition the libs were left. in fact I voted for them as they were more left than Labour at the time.

then I decided I can't be faffed with the whims. so I. voting with my ideals.

Lib dems took a risk in 2010 and lost but depending on tonight they might have some contribution but much reduced.

Oh do shut up boris.

And Boris gets to remain Mayor for another year. Doesn't seem right.

Really sad to wake up to this...can't believe people have bought the Tory BS.

When did returning officers stop using candidates' full names? Always got a small amount of election night entertainment from more peculiar middle names.

Have the Tories won?
I dont dare turn the TV on, i'm determined to get DS back to sleep but have just seen the Dailymail headline and cant make sense of it
