Depressed lefties sign in here...

[WilfSell]

...on the grounds that if we assume there will be a Tory govt, then the crowing triumphalism of all the Chinless Wonders and Thrusting Monetarists and Nasty Racists who'll poke in here to crow and gloat, will somehow force a cosmic rift in the time-space continuum. And it will be like 1992 all over again but the other way round.

I fear the best we can hope for is a hung parliament.

I've suggested hemlock for the Election Night supper thread...

didn't hear joke about "expensivley covered modern chairs" but it occurs to me that LibDem furniture will be like those vintage chairs, covered in modern fabrics you get in Liberty.

DH and I shall be watching C4 in an attempt to laugh at it all instead of killing each other ( he's the Tory one )

Dimbleby and Paxman! I dunno, I will probably end up flicking over, it does tend to get a bit dull but part of me feel that the alternative election night is just wrong.

I will be with Brooker - I had the rudest dream about him the other night.

I can't watch the BBC because BBC signal doesn't reach my house. I have no choice but to watch the alternative election night. I'm willing to put up with Carr in order to enjoy the delights of Mitchell and Brooker.

It all happens so late though doesn't it. Barking & Dagenham isn't due in until 4:30ish I think. That, apart from the overall result obv, is the big one for me.

How I'm feeling is summed up nicely by David Younge's article

Particularly:

"As a young man Cameron looked out on the social carnage of pit closures and mass unemployment, looked at Margaret Thatcher's government and thought, these are my people. When all the debating is done, that is really all I need to know."

It's all so depressing.

at Pfft's rude dream about charlie though

My constituency announces at 3am. Luckily I have a two year old who has never slept through the night so I am hoping one of his night-wakings will coincide...

After feeling upbeat the other day, am now depressed again by the apathy of the young. I am back at university and many of my fellow students are in their early 20s. Today I have had three FB messages telling me that they wish I would stop banging on about the election because it is so "boring" and "irrelevant"!!! It makes me want to weep.

Of course the sensible thing to do would be to go to bed at 8pm and set the alarm for 3.....

according to dh the evening standard's poll put labour and tories on the same number of seats

i know all the party leaders are saying no deals but really ? i mean really?

hold tight depressed lefties, you just never know

and if the worst happens it'll be a comfort to know we're all feeling shite together

Just back from canvassing my street plus a bit. Safe Tory seat (Douggie Herd's son) so not much chance. Tomorrow will go to near by marginal to help local MP get his vote out.

I'm so relieved to find this thread. I work for a huge company, surrounded by a sea of Tories. I was beginning to feel like a weirdo!

I am a Lab supporter voting tactically for LibDems. I will be alone tomorow evening as DH has been invited to the LibDem HQ (he has done more leafletting than me ) so I will park myself here and drown my sorrows.

Mostly a MN lurker but glad to find this thread. This is the first election where I've actually been actively woried about the result. (First vote was 1997 - Stephen Twigg's face still a massive election highlight for me )

just called a friend in a marginal to instruct him to vote! I wasn't presumptuous about telling who to vote for but I know that he will do the right thing.

I am actually starting to feel sick.

Latest Guardian poll gives Tories 8 pt lead- headline is "Cameron Eyes the Prize"

On further reading, they wld still be short of a majority, but the ulster unionists would tip them over the magic line.

pffffffffthtthtttttttt

How can I make myself not care any more?

Latest Guardian/ ICM poll predicts a Tory majority. I can hardly bear the thought of Cameron smugly waving from the steps of No10 on Friday, but, unfortunaely, it's a'comming.

Wooh! I would love to be called personally by someone after my vote. which is a bit sad ... but true.

That's exciting.

Glad to hear he's in favour of electoral reform.

In 80s our dog had a squeaky Maggie toy he chewed on, am designing a DC one tonight...

Oh God my Nanna's dog had that toy. I was terrified of it!!

With good bloody reason in hindsight.

For that canvassing, just got invited to marginal election party! Never done this sort of thing before. DW is wondering if she is leftie enough for me. Gonna buy a flat cap for the occasion.

2cats2many- prepare for the worst...Gordon just started to let rip....a bit late. Anyway LibDems took more out of Tories though.
