Yes but 40 seats short would be doable given the number of marginal seats in North England/London.
96 seats short they are finished. |
What part of 40 seats short even if Labour won every single SNP seat don't you understand ???, in the North of England/London Labour won what they won and lost what they lost, the SNP did not win seats in the North of England or London [they didn't even stand]. |  |

Sigh. Surely even you can see that the SNP have just handed the Tories power for a long long time? . Yes they would have still been 40 seats short if they had kept Scotland but in future elections they can attack the marginals in England and have a chance. Without Scotland they need to take 96 seats in England which is never going to happen in the foreseeable future. |  |

Do you like the north of England Tramp?
Puzzles me why, with most of Wales still despising the tories ukip a sideshow and the lim dems really only for Welsh Farmers, why the people don't turn to the national party of Wales.
It doesn't really |  |

Approximately 40 seats short is 40 seats short [even if they had won every single SNP seat] and in future generations they can win seats in Scotland if Scotland votes for them.
Labour did not win nowhere near enough seats. | |

I was going to ask that myself. Considering some seats declare within half an hour of the booths shutting, why do others take upwards of 14 hours? | |

I don't particularly want to jump straight to the next General Election, whilst the current one isn't finished, but the SNP trouncing in Scotland could prove to be a problem for them.
This will forever be the high water mark for SNP whilst Scotland is part of the union. If the union stays together, I doubt the SNP can ever hope again for such a widespread mandate. The theme of future elections will inevitably be the "waning" of popular support for their nationalist policies as they inevitably lose MPs from such a lofty position.
It may take a couple of rounds of elections to restore the balance, but if Scotland continues to send MPs to Westminster I don't think it will be that long before the SNP representation significantly reduces. |  | | |

Yes the biggest problem for the SNP will be that their voters won't want Tory government after Tory Government so a lot of them will naturally drift back to Labour. | |

Esther was too complacent ,friends and the LABOUR woman (scruffy ,bad hair,plain and no you wouldn't) worked hard.
Still, seeing the unctuous Ed s demise was gratifying.
If Andy Burnham succeeds the sibling stabber they will have a real leader and a guy that will go down well ,one who is as genuine as its possible to get in politics now..
He will win them the next election wheras Yvette wont.
How s things in Tory land this morning Phil.

She also said a few rather crass things that went down badly in places like Woodchurch. Wirral and Chester one of Labour's few successes.
Andy Burnham only second favourite, but someone I like and may appeal to the votes that went to UKIP from Labour which arguably cost the losses in the North.
I await, as will many on here, to see how my new MP works on a local level. This perhaps was Esther's downfall as she got promoted very quickly. | | | |

Agreed Paul.
Didn't really think that much of her.
My wife and I knew Lynda Chalker quite well before the Eagle down her. Lynda, although "posh" as an old fashioned Tory type who believed in family ,work,thrift, responsibility and compassion. She s sorely missed in Wallasey.
McVey campaign was shocking and I d have thought the Tories would have been all over it campaigning.
David Hunt was the best MP by a mile and a nice bloke. He lived in St Margarets Rd ,off Stanley Road in Hoylake right next to Joe Mercer, bless him. | |

Leanne Wood has just said that "Conservatives don't have a mandate in Wales". Is this the same Conservative Party that has 11 Welsh MP's as opposed to Plaid Cymru's 3? So what does that say about her party?
Politicians eh? |  | | |

Will Trampie now retire as he s given it his all for some weeks and failed.
Majority still detest Plaid, many monoglot Welsh people dubious and its why nationalism never takes off ;never will.
As I say, Wales needs England--badly-- and alienating the English is self defeating.
I pray the Scots vote again and feook off. They ll starve within a short time so that s payback for Anfield in 77 you chunts and the farce on Cardiff with that penalty that robbed us a few years later | |

Let's be honest if you're Labour then you're probably a bit demoralised, but it's likely you're going to win the next election, with an unelected Tory PM roaming number 10, Not to mention that Scotland will either have f**ked off entirely or the SNP will be taking a lib dem style kicking if they haven't
So they've got 5 years to not f**k it up, can they do that? |  |

Zac Goldbars now has a 23,000 majority. Decent local MP to be fair. | | | |

Before my time here, but David Hunt was not the worst Welsh Secretary. UKIP did very well here in EP and Neston with a strong local candidate. Tories wheeled out a young woman from East Cheshire, no doubt as preparation for a future safe seat as she seemed pretty OK but the tory vote dipped a fair bit.
Sadly there are not many of the old school northern Tories left | | | |

Especially as Cameron will use the lack of absolute majority to dodge the referendum. He'll claim no democratic mandate for it. |
So, just a few hours later, it turns out Cameron can't use the lack of an absolute majority to dodge the referendum! What the f*ck does that jacko bloke know :)
So, unless we have some post election jiggery pokery, an EU referendum is coming soon. That is going to be fun. | | | |

Heard earlier that more people voted Yes to independence in the referendum that was lost convincingly than voted SNP yesterday. |  |

In percentage or absolute numeric terms? If it's the latter it's hardly surprising, the Scottish independence vote was a rare bright spot for people engaging in democracy. | |
