Was the Lib man yucky too? Surely there was someone better than Balls to vote for?

magentadreamer · 07/05/2010 06:09

Great news regarding Barking

monkeysmama · 07/05/2010 06:12

Griffin was adamant they'd get 2nd at least. Even better news - Griffin dropped the BNP from 17% in 2005 to 14.6% in 2010.

I think it may be a bit far-fetched Leningrad as the markets will not wait for political stability. Our bonds will be downgraded and it would be a downwards spiral to another really quick G Election.

No - whoever takes over has to demonstrate stability - how I don't know

Did I hear Nick Clegg wasn't safe yet? or did I mishear?

Caroline Lucas made interesting comments on the Tories

Major haung on to the bitter end with a handful of a majority and called an election at the last possible date - look how long they were out of power after the voters punished them.

I simply don't think the electorate would stand for GB doing the same -not even with Clegg as his bubble has burst

Hello all. Checking in after night on sofa with TV in the background. Need to get kids up for school (hour later here in France).

No Tory majority so far!

Don't know about the rest of the lefties but I thought it would be worse than this.

Am still crumpled valiant and knackered proud!! See you all later.

Well good morning...

I drifted into consciousness at some point for the radio to tell me it was hung, which was a relief

Good News:

Caroline Lucas winning Brighton
Griffin not taking Barking and BNP having no seat as yet
no landslide

BAd News:
Sheffield students getting locked out in favour of local residents
bad day for lib dems.

Hassled · 07/05/2010 06:28

I can't believe Norwich South. Just can't get over it.

WetAugust · 07/05/2010 06:28

If sky are now forecasting 309 Con seats then with the 8 DUP seats they'll have 317 - they only need 315. I'm not counting the result that won't come through until late May as the matter will have to be decided long before then
