Down here in Naaaarfuk it hopefully looks like Labour taking Norwich North and Norwich South.  In Norwich South the sitting Yellow Tory waste of space, Simon Wright, is almost certain to be ousted with the Greens probably second.  That seat takes in student and historically a large number of council tenants so tends to be the most left wing in Norfolk.

 

Chloe Smith who was the youngest MP in Parliament when she was elected for the Tories in the Norwich North by-election.  Generally, she's considered a strong community candidate and quite left wing for a Tory.  She'd probably fit in quite well in the Lib Dems or the Blairite wing of Labour. Hopefully she'll be gone but it's much closer.

 

The rest is pretty much Tory.  Great Yarmouth, even though very poor as a town, is surrounded by affluent Tory areas so will probably get a Tory or loony tunes Kipper.

My prediction is that there will be a late rally for Cameron's wreckers with many English voters frightened by melodramatic anti-SNP rhetoric from the Non-dom tax avoiders' Tory Press. 

 

In my view, the SNP are the reason why we'll have a Tory government. 

 

The country still trusts the Tories on the economy more than Labour (even though the reputation is built on lies) and voters will plump for what they know.  Crappy neo-liberal, rich get richer - bash the poor, business as usual, rather than venture into more risky territory - as they see it. 

 

Hope I'm wrong but the pessimist in me thinks we're in for a re-run of the 1992 election.

 

That **** Cameron always seems to scrape by.  On killing electoral reform and Scottish independence he got his way.

 A lot of English nationalists were whining on for years about being ruled by Scotland!!!!! Though to be fair this state of affairs existed I think because of the superior attitudes towards social and educational matters. I know in our field of expertise the Scottish Universities are far advanced.

 

However the bottom line is that like in 1979 the SNP are about to deliver another Tory Government.

300+ Labour seats tonight would be nice! However, nothing is suggesting such a return as being likely - recent indicators place them at best level with the Tories and at worst a couple of percent behind. If 40 or more Labour seats are lost to the SNP as expected this would surely leave Labour needing to win all the marginals and pull off a few shocks?

 

Another 5 years of David Cameron led government feels more like a probability to me now than a possibility.

I've got a feeling that Labour will come out on top tonight.

(for once) I hope you are correct!

I'm not so bothered about the national result but will take it as a personal affront if we don't take back the two missing seats and paint the Tees Valley completely red.

Well done/good luck with that!

 

I received 2 separate (late) requests to help out in either Milton Keynes or Bletchley today. Unfortunately both towns are too far away especially on a work day for me to attend.

Stomped on, whether we voted yes or no in the referendum.

That's not correct.

 

Of course the main 3 parties want Scotland in the UK but obviously aren't overjoyed at the thought of the SNP (who only care about Scotland) having a say in the UK government as they will cause trouble on purpose in order to say to the Scots "look, here we are being ignored by Westminster " Which will cause even more division in the country.

 

The SNP don't represent all of Scotland.
