Depressed lefty red-eye thread

[policywonk]

hello

Oooh Charles Clarke has lost in Norwich - LibDem gain

justaboutkeepingoutthetories my pfb is having boob for half the night.. it's like a party for him

gap getting too wide for me.. need some sleep

sun just about up... on a tory government?

Right off to bed. Too depressing to continue.

Goodnight BIWI

So the polling stations with problems, were the votes close? If they were that may cause some problems?

Although the places named I would assume safe-ish Labour so maybe I should just ignore it ...

Hello again. Barking result due shortly.

What's the big news?

Hazel Blears in

there are 22 seats declaring this pm, plus thirsk & malton in 2 weeks.

of those 11 are tory safe, 6 are possible Tory wins, one is the speaker, and 4 are Labour or Lib Dem holds.

So it won't be long before things are fairly clear - Tories have 227 already, DUP have 8, Fermangh & South Tyrone has 9 votes between Sinn Fein and the Unionist candidate (still recounting).

SF have 4 MPs, possibly 5, who won't sit, leaving 646, so Tories need 324, minus 9 unionists = 315.

So: 97 of remaining 191 seats = Tory majority
88 of remaining 191 seats = Tory government with Unionist pork

Only possible case for Labour is a grand coalition, something like Labour/Lib Dem/Plaid/SDLP/Green/SNP. They have 222 currently, and would need 102 of the remaining 193 seats, which doesn't seem likely.

ooh, i thought islington south would be closer than that, i know the lib dems were targeting it quite heavily.

Is there a list anywhere of the whole countries votes?
