It seems Simon Hughes is a goner also...

Is come they keep saying labour are losing when they've got 81 seats to conservatives 48 ....

Oh yes indeed  

I reckon the Tories have "gone after" Mark Reckless in Rochester - not too surprisingly.

As was discussed earlier in the thread:

If, as it’s increasingly looking, that exit poll was largely right, how come polls during campaign got it so wrong? Egg on face time

Lots in my timeline saying the above.

Well done Orkney and Shetland  

Yes, seems strange 

Yes  

Thanet South (Farage) result not expected in until 8am earliest.

I'm off to bed, night night peeps and thanks for your company xx 

Oh heck .well I will have nodded off by then  

Night night Rosie ....I won't be far behind you , cos my IPad battery is getting very low .

Night Rog  

Farage too 

I'm offski - night all  

Night night

Me too ....night night Cosmo , CS , Vids and Carnelian.....thanks for the company . Sleep well  

Night night

Night night

Are you affluent?  They only chuck money at the affluent baby boomers.

because they're loosing many of the seats they had held and the seats they are holding are with reduced majorities.

Simon Hughes loses Bermondsey and Old Southwark to Labour

Tories holding many of the marginals.

The country needs PR.  Labour led by a Tory lite Blairite like Chuka is a wasted vote.  Left wing voters like me need a proper left wing party.  If Ed were leading the Labour Party in five years time I'd vote Labour but someone like Chuka is just replacing the Tories with watered down Tories.

Time for bed.  Five more years of the Bullingdon Club and their class war.  Tory Middle England to carry on wrecking the country.  Amoral vermin

It almost seems unfair that Nick Clegg gets to hang on to his seat when his fellow Lib Demers get booted out when he was the one who jumped into bed with the Tories.

Tory spongers in charge to destroy the country for another five years.  Why don't we just chose our PM from the Bullingdon Club every year?

If in the morning I find out the Tories have won I can't believe how many have fallen under his spell and didn't notice what he avoided saying about his decisions for the future. The Nom Dom's and the elite I accept they back him because of self interest but the average day to day folk trying to keep ahead and struggling? no way or reason for them to support him. In a recent Freudian slip he mentioned career then hurriedly changed it to country. Surely there are far more day to day people coping with ever rising bills, loss of employment and just trying to stay ahead etc which for some is impossible. A depressing forecast for many for the future if he wins

Had to roll my eyes at the UKIP bloke who is ex-tory whinging about the electoral system being unrepresentative and unfair,but when in power they stitched Clegg up like a kipper so PR was never going to get a toe hold.

Bloody awful,depressing  result.

Just one comment "hells bells" 

Is is it safe? 

I'm not convinced about PR. Surely we would end up mit an Italian style Crisis of Hegemony.

I see Mr Balls lost his seat? 

It's mostly dreadful news Moonie. After all the work we put in the Tories increased their lead from 300 to 5000. Embarrassingly we are the only blue bit in a sea of red. 

They are saying on the telly, that Ed Milliband will resign...

Be afraid if you are poor,disabled,ill...etc,the bastards are going to target you.

Don't they always? 

Yes ....that was the icing on the cake for me

But the truth of it is whoever had won last night at least half the country would be fed up ....that's first past the post democracy for you ....sadly the days of conviction politics ( or rather conviction politicians ) are long gone . Nowadays all the parties bow down to big big business and the media ....whatever they say when in opposition . But the world will keep on turning , and in 5 years ....or sooner ...we will get to do this all again!  

So, before I go and prop my eyes open with matchsticks ....and wait to see what * colour*  my own constituency has turned ....I just wanted to say congratulations to Scotty , EFFT , and and other SNP FM's ..that was some result you had last night And commiserations to Kaffs and Yogi ....I know you will both be devastated
