Depressed lefty red-eye thread

[policywonk]

hello

Morning gorgeouses!

Greens win Brighton!!!

Some real lefties in the house!!!! Not imperialist monetarist fakes who kill innocent people for political gain!

Where did the right wing media write about the rise of the Greens? Too busy promoting the fucking BNP.

Awesome vibez!

Just looked at my local areas that haven't announced .All saying 3pmish don't they realise I am going away for the weekend !

Have they declared for Streatham yet? (Don't live there, just have a crush on Chukka Umunna). BBC website not showing. Also dancing around that Shaun Bailey didn't get in. And Barking - much better than expected although I don't like Margaret Hodge. (Forgive use of And to start a sentence - it's a big day).

Raising a mug of builder's tea to your dad, justa

Morning coolfonz - not too bad, eh?

Milibands are both safe (D definitely in, can't believe E would lose his seat)

Our MP who seemed extremely complacent got in by the skin of his teeth. Had a hoooge majority in 2005. Need a laptop or something (dashes downstairs to see the telly box and iron school uniform).

Trying to be impartial, (so far) the Tories can't win an overall majority in the biggest recession for 50 years, after 13 years of Labour, where Labour attacked working class people financially in the UK and with bombs and bullets in foreign lands.

It gives Labour a chance to get rid of Brown and come back at them. Which personally would make me sick, I'd much prefer the Tories in, we will get where we are going quicker...

Haven't heard anything about Streatham but I did nod off for a bit

I'm safe going to Glasgow, all red & yellow up there (wondering how to holiday in only left areas)

Something in me asks the question "what were Labour DOING with seats in Brighton and Chester,anyway?" No obvious party strongholds any more, are there?

Recount in Harrow.

Brighton Kemptown full of Guardian readers, young singles and dirt poor estates - rather amazed it's gone tory tbh

Systemic collapse yeah. Not as in Mad Max, as in political economic.

In France we're known as the catastrophist left by the right wing media, heheheh. Loads of commies vote UMP in round 2 etc...mind you the UMP are to the left of Labour...

Surely LibDems would not pass up opportunity for electoral reform? Clegg must lose all credibility with his members if he doesn't pursue it.

how on earth am I supposed to get the DC to school this am? I need coverage

How cheering that the London futures market stayed open overnight by special dispensation, so that chinless twonks could gamble our currency away and generally try to override the outcome of the election. I mean, what a great use of everyone's time and resources.

Polly Toynbee is on R4

Morning. 4 hrs sleep, broken not once, but twice by DS, thanks for that, sweetie.

Well, I didn't expect to hear people still predicting a hung parliament this morning! Still, it's all pretty depressing. Reading now completely tory. I was vote-counting in '97 there, both seats Labour. At least that appalling woman in Sutton and Cheam didn't get in.

bye bye len

oooohhh 66 vote difference in Cambourne.
