What I don't understand (but I'm quite tired) is why people blaming the libs for supporting and moderating a bunch of bastards, then voted for those bastards.
I was hoping for none of the sh1ts to have a free rein, but there we are. As someone said, the people have spoken, the tw*ts.
Oh god, Gideon's just come on. We've got another 5 years of that gimp too. [Post edited 8 May 2015 8:39]

The entire swing from Liberal to Tory is the thing that's s shocked me. Unprecedented for an incumbent. |  |

When are we having the in /out euro election?
Can't wait for that one.
Also hope the child benefit is limited to one child seen so much scum walking around with 3 or more brats in tow fag in mouth and 2 carrier bags of crisps from pound land.
It was a sad day breeding became a occupation in this country for teenage girls with its free house and free money although the only work the scum had done was on their back or on their knees and never paid NI in their lives. |  |

It may be a blessing in disguise. Labour can clear the decks, rethink their strategies and go again and provide a genuine alternative |
No chance. They'll scuttle back to Blair/Campbell lying and scheming to out tory the tories. |  |

I find that shocking as well.
Whichever seat, it's just been a 'kick the LibDems' mindset.
Of course, it's hard to see exactly what swings are happening because of the LibDem collapses, UKIP increases etc etc - the basic swing that they show on the coverage could be hiding several swings in each seat.
Oh great - Sturgeon's on now. It must be slightly tempering their joy that she's spent the last 6 weeks threatening to bring Tories down and now finds herself in a situation where she has sod all power or say. | | | |

Very ironic it was in fact sturgeon and the SNP that more than anything else helped the Tories win,with so many in England fearing a unofficial Lab/SNP coalition that would have let the jocks hold the rest of us to ransom.
In the run up it was the Tories biggest weapon and why so many switched and to be honest faced with the same option in a marginal I would have also. [Post edited 8 May 2015 9:04]

It's a brilliant result for her. They could easily justify another referendum on the back of that. | |

That would be silly wouldn't it? far better to use the hanging threat to force all the first referendum promises of largesse to be cashed in. | |

Why? they have had in the words of Salmond once in a lifetime referendum and although they hold 50 odd seats in reality at a vote at Westminster unless they are voting with the Tories the seats are worthless. [Post edited 8 May 2015 9:15]

Yes and no.
She can't get one for some time - why would the Tories give it? They have absolutely nothing to lose anymore. No one does - that's the irony. The Tory majority means that they are utterly non reliant on any Scottish votes anymore.
And the unionist vote in Scotland last night was bigger than the SNP vote - it's just that the SNP get every vote and the supporters of the Union are split several ways.
She has also said very recently that the referendum was 'once in a generation' - it was only 8 months ago that they lost it. She will have to sit there for at least a few years with no say over anything (not her - the party). During that time, if oil prices stay low and the UK economy picks up, their support may actually drop.
She has done a lot to cause this though - I've been banging on for ages about the 'anti Scottish' feeling in England and the desire up here to make sure that she didn't get any say or power.
It won't take long before the first murmurings of SNP's actions leading to a Tory majority start and that will hurt them. | | | |

You've answered your own question. They clearly want another referendum and after they way they have been treated by the press it will be a yes vote this time. It not workable to have 2 countries with such different political views in such a tight union. | |

I look forward to seeing the SNP's figures next time round.
Their last ones have proved to be so accurate. | | | |

The 55â„… that voted NO ast time do not want another referendum.
Your getting things mixed up,the the referendum was totally separte from the general election and involved a lot of separate issues,austerity,NHS,etc,a lot of NO voters would have voted SNP yesterday. [Post edited 8 May 2015 9:52]

Aye, becasue the Tories get it right all the time. No wonder the won given that they got rid of the deficit and cut immigration down to O(10,000). | |

Paddy Power
Andy Burnham 7/4 fav, from Yvette Cooper (9/4), Chuka Umunna (3/1), Dan Jarvis (6/1) and Tristram Hunt at 11/1.
Good grief. labour really is done isn't it? Cooper or Umunna the best shouts but one has Balls and the other will never get past racist GB.
On that point, why no "balls out" headlines yet? | |

No one said any different.
But the SNP's figures just 8 months ago would have led to a bankrupt Scotland by now. Sturgeon said 'well, everyone makes mistakes'.
Without their unrealistic (and in fact, stupid) estimates on oil prices, they don't have a workable economy. You watch the lack of calls from them for full fiscal autonomy after today - why? Because they can't afford it. | | | |

Indeed, I know that. But, people I have spoken too (not enough to be representative) think that the Tories have not delivered what they promised to Scotland and that the way they have been portrayed in the media have changed no voters to yes. If people are voting Tory just to spite Scotland then I can't say I blame them. | |
