Now that is a Party we can get behind.

This is because other broadcasters update their tallies based on rumours at the counts whereas the BBC are legally required to wait until the returning officer has declared the actual result

[MTVN]

Clegg will go and he probably needs to do for the sake of his party. A lot of the stick he gets is unwarranted imo and people will probably appreciate what he did a lot more in a few years time but his position now is untenable and the Lib Dems will only be able to recover with a completely new face to the party

Ruling out the idea of another coalition?

[Shaun]

I was rather hoping Balls would take over as Labour leader :(

[Jack_]

Please don't let Balls lose his seat as well, the right wing press will have a field day

[MTVN]

Ruling out the idea of another coalition?

Yeah I don't think there will be another one tbh, Lib Dems have lost most their main players and will have too few seats to have much influence at all, and tbh the Tories may as well govern with a strong minority rather than having to make concessions to the motley rump of the Lib Dems. 9 or 10 Lib Dem MPs will have no chance of persuading over 300 Tory ones to not have an EU referendum and things like that. I think Clegg will be gone this time tomorrow and the Lib Dems will look to rebuild, a process they can carry out better if they're not in government

[Samuel.]

Goodnight Mr Miliband

He takes the lead just as his results are announced.
Couldn't get better.

Danny Alexander gone..



Sorry MTVN.

[MTVN]

Bollocks to it all, thats enough for tonight

[Shaun]

this BBC HoC simulation thing is like a nightmarish ps2 game

[Jack_]

Marr makes the point I made earlier - how can the Lib Dems take the brunt of the pain in these results when they were the ones who watered down the coalition, and now the Tories are close to a majority

Bizarre and quite stupid

[Jack_]

Not George Galloway as well ffs :sad:

Could this night get any worse?

neil kinnocks boy wins Aberavon.....married to the Danish prime minister too? a candidate for future leadership?

[Mystic Mock]

I ended up voting for Labour, but I've just got my fingers crossed that one of them just wins it by themselves.:fc:

And Sky News are so disgustingly biased towards the right wing parties it's unreal, yes they protect your asses from having to lose some money out of your pocket, but you've got a job to do and you should be treating all of the parties with respect and not just the 1%.

[the truth]

It will be so good if Ed Balls does not win

Delay on that due to intense close count even if he survives in his seat, balls up is surely finished as a serious force . im frankly amazed he is still in the position he is after his disastrous role in government

[joeysteele]

Win or lose I just love election nights.

Congrats to David Cameron, although he has a likely harder road governing now ironically with a much smaller overall majority status.
Predictions are always unwise as I found out again,which is another reason I love general elections.

I was over the moon to see Esther Mcvey out in Wirral West, I trudged down streets galore in that seat hoping to help see her go and so that is my result of the night.

However,so many more great losses too, the Lib Dem losses of Cable, Laws, Alexander, Hughes, Swinson and Featherstone, excellent, a good payback for the things they supported this last 5 years.

Awful night for Labour, I will stick with them however and hopefully,as this parliament unfolds,see a better result next time, with a new leader however.

One result I am over the moon to see and I have just got in from being at a count,was James Wharton in Stockton South for the Conservatives,a really sound and decent good MP who deserved to hold his seat.
Well done Smudgie there,I would inmagine you are over the moon.

I would like to think,David Cameron will return to the ideas he had when he first became leader,his one nation Conservative hopes and getting rid of the nasty elements in his party.
It is far harder to govern with a small majority than what he has had before,he has massively divided UK and a hostile house of commons as to him too.
I wait and will watch to see what he does with it, with victory it is better to bring humilty into play.
If he carries on arrogantly disregarding large sections of society which is what I see him doing,however I hope he turns back from that.

Awful night for me personally, one the worst results I wanted to see but he has his chance again, I hope he does considerably better with this one.

Lovely post from you Joey.
I must say I really am over the moon that James held his seat, I am hoping he will go far in years to come.
I thought of you and all your hard work a few times through the long night, we can't all be on the winners sides, but you young man are one of life's winners in your own right.

I can't believe that we're gonna be putting up with another 5 years of the Tories **** again, seriously everyone moans about how **** they've been yet they're still voting for them in this Election just because of Miliband.

I'm sorry I can't have Joey's dignity on this, it's disgusting that the disabled are gonna be bullied again, the working class are gonna be bullied again, the rich will hardly do anything to put the money back into the country again, the NHS will be privitised again, the NHS will lose more Doctors and Nurses again, The Police will continue to be cut.

I do agree really. They will continue to pursue their elitist trickle-down theories (that simply do not work, but give the illusion of economic growth, hence why silly people have voted for them so strongly), they will continue to force privatisation and to bloat the City and the financial services industry (at the expense of everyone else) and then when - not if, but when - we're hit by recession again, because of that reliance on the financial world and the City, the entire thing will flatline disastrously.

I'm not surprised by the results, not even slightly, the Tories have successfully pushed the propaganda of supposed economic recovery and growth (an illusion that in fact has yet to benefit anyone outside of London) for well over a year now and it was inevitable that their "don't mess up the recovery!" message would resonate. Because people are cowards and fear-based politics work. They just... Do. That's how to win an election in the UK, full stop.

So yeah, not surprised and not even disappointed. My disappointment is still over-ruled by my disappointment that Scotland didn't break away from this madness last summer. I don't "want a labour government" (though I would admittedly prefer one to the Tories), I want to be as far away from the charade of Westminster politics as possible.

Been thinking about you a lot Joey,how disappointed you must be,I have to say,I felt a bit sorry for labour as time went on,they have got hammered,obviously I am happy about the Conservatives doing well,I DO think Labour would have stood a far better chance if Milliband hadn't been at the helm,but it's done now,better luck next time round.Really nice post from you,such a gent,I will be voting for you when you are an MP whatever party you represent as I know you are a fair and caring person,now I hope Cameron doesn't let us down and takes us onwards and upwards,it's been great fun debating in the threads.Hugs xx

Exactly this Kazanne, any party that got into power will have to make difficult decisions like cuts etc to get our debt and deficit down, just not all of them admitted it. It's just what has to be done right now but it won't be this way forever, well I hope...

[Jamesy]

I voted Labour, although I do agree Ed is to blame a lot for a Tory victory. He is not suit as a leader for one of the major parties. People vote by learders more than policies and depressingly Cameron is the best leader and spokesperson out the bunch.

Hopefully these rumours are true of Milliband leaving Labour and we can see a strong person take over and get Labour back in power in 5 years times to clean up the inevitable mess the Tories will leave behind them.

[Glenn.]

Pretty happy with the result. A resignation from Milliband please.

I voted Labour, although I do agree Ed is to blame a lot for a Tory victory. He is not suit as a leader for one of the major parties. People vote by learders more than policies and depressingly Cameron is the best leader and spokesperson out the bunch.

Hopefully these rumours are true of Milliband leaving Labour and we can see a strong person take over and get Labour back in power in 5 years times to clean up the inevitable mess the Tories will leave behind them.

He's going, I take little pleasure from that but do think he is right to do so.

I have met him and he always showed genuine concern and appreciation for all party activists and had a good message really,however didn't fully clarify things.
None of them did really,to be fair.

Also, absolutely no one saw the virutal wipeout of the Lib Dems, it was clear they had lost votes but no one saw their loss of seats on that scale and by the margis they lost most of them too.

We can hope, that David Cameron, repeals the fixed term parliament act,which will then let him decide when the next election is again.
It can be that Prime Ministers are caught out, calling elections they think they can win.
I really don't see with such a small majority, where David Cameron will want to be tied to a possible 5 year fixed term now.

I will have a vote as a member who will lead Labour now, so I will wait eagerly to see who throws their hat in the ring this time.

[joeysteele]

Been thinking about you a lot Joey,how disappointed you must be,I have to say,I felt a bit sorry for labour as time went on,they have got hammered,obviously I am happy about the Conservatives doing well,I DO think Labour would have stood a far better chance if Milliband hadn't been at the helm,but it's done now,better luck next time round.Really nice post from you,such a gent,I will be voting for you when you are an MP whatever party you represent as I know you are a fair and caring person,now I hope Cameron doesn't let us down and takes us onwards and upwards,it's been great fun debating in the threads.Hugs xx

Aah, how kind.
I think I will stand for the Jedward/Joey coalition again.:joker:

Isn't this the usual political merry go round, a few terms of Labour followed by a few terms of Conservative etc, the Lib Dems were the scapegoats this time, if only they had followed through even partially on Tuition fees they might not have done so badly

[bots]

Win or lose I just love election nights.

Congrats to David Cameron, although he has a likely harder road governing now ironically with a much smaller overall majority status.
Predictions are always unwise as I found out again,which is another reason I love general elections.

I was over the moon to see Esther Mcvey out in Wirral West, I trudged down streets galore in that seat hoping to help see her go and so that is my result of the night.

However,so many more great losses too, the Lib Dem losses of Cable, Laws, Alexander, Hughes, Swinson and Featherstone, excellent, a good payback for the things they supported this last 5 years.

Awful night for Labour, I will stick with them however and hopefully,as this parliament unfolds,see a better result next time, with a new leader however.

One result I am over the moon to see and I have just got in from being at a count,was James Wharton in Stockton South for the Conservatives,a really sound and decent good MP who deserved to hold his seat.
Well done Smudgie there,I would inmagine you are over the moon.

I would like to think,David Cameron will return to the ideas he had when he first became leader,his one nation Conservative hopes and getting rid of the nasty elements in his party.
It is far harder to govern with a small majority than what he has had before,he has massively divided UK and a hostile house of commons as to him too.
I wait and will watch to see what he does with it, with victory it is better to bring humilty into play.
If he carries on arrogantly disregarding large sections of society which is what I see him doing,however I hope he turns back from that.

Awful night for me personally, one the worst results I wanted to see but he has his chance again, I hope he does considerably better with this one.

David Cameron will soon be under pressure, no fear on that front :joker:

I think its great that there is such political diversity in the UK even though it can be incredibly frustrating at times ;). It forces everyone to think about what they are doing and why they are doing it. I'm sure you will have your day soon :douf:

The reason for this result is the fact that Ed Milliband is someone who the country couldn't get behind because he's such a massive twat. Unlikeable and has about as much charisma as an apple tree.

[Calderyon]

Not really surprised about the Conservative win tbh, but the amount of it is astounding, considering the fact that everyone predicted that they would fell short of the required seats.

I wonder what was the sole reason this happened?

Safe choice and/or the desire to be with the winning team? SNP´s rise and Labour´s demise in Scotland? Liberal´s absolute decimation? Milliband´s personality? Desire to get a stable government with no chance of it falling, no matter what the cost?

Just to be clear i´m not on either side atm i´m just curious.

Fun fact: The same thing (Left parties falling) happened on our elections too.
