Valiant and proud lefties election night thread

[MarionCole]

Hmm, swing to Tory party worrying in Sunderland and whats with the drop in the LD vote?

Need new thread

Not good news about swing being bigger than exit poll predictions

ps: sadly im well a minger

Oh dear, swing not good.

she is new, previous mp has retired, that wil cut her majority

ah higher swing where Labour have new candidate.

Are you all writing this now too? We all hear the same thing then we write it down. I like it

No the swing is worrying but it is a new candidate so she may not carry loyalty votes.

A very low turnout.

shit no.

Low turnout. And pretty large BNP vote.

Yes as I typed my view the man on the BBc said the same.

They said swing indicative of new candidate though

Yay Bridget!

And yay to me - first election night bingo crossed off 'boundary changes'

Turnout up 2% in this seat - should be good news across country.

I'm wondering if many giving LD on polls have defected to bigger parties in fear of hung parliament

I think the swing is slightly misleading though because a large proportion has been taken by the independent - who knows what his platform has been. It hasn't all gone to the tories.

Yeah the swing is a little sobering when you consider the really close marginals.

I think you may be right, Lenniral

coolfonz not much happening yet. Haven't heard anything about Bethnal and Bow.

Don't think much will happen now for a while - seem to be delayed by hour/hour and a half.

I think that a lot of people will have thrown a wobbler when confronted with the actual papers and gone back to the big 2.

Thats not the Sian Lloyd. We have an imposter

8% really isn't that bad in the circumstances and I reckon a lot of pro-pr Labour people voted LD cos they knew they could.

My first thought was "blimey, she's had a bit of work done".

Then I realised.

Oh I really can't stay up all night but I know I probably will.

Reckon Tech is around to make our thread unlimited posts or are we moving?

I think the Lib Dems will lose out to tactical voting, they did with me.
