You are the Redcar MP.

You have been elected MP by the good people of Redcar. You are about to tell them that you are in talks with the Tories.
Do you.......
a) Wear a collender on your head.
b) A cricket box.
c) Give up your day job.

I think I'd buil myself a fallout shelter and start scripting my resignation letter TBH. He'll be toast among his constituents I'd have thought.

I doubt that the people in Dormanstown share such open-mindedness.

I feel for you CT, I really do. You know I'm extremely fond of you, but your constituency voted for a Lib Dem (be it tactically, with conviction or in ignorance) and they are just going to have to live with it and go with the flow!

Ah! I see where you are coming from. No Suzy my constituencey went Tory from Labour-not a great surprise since it has been Tory before. A previous MP was the famous ultra left wing (in comparison with today's shower of shite) Harold MacMillan. However.... Redcar has had Jim Tinn, Mo Mowlam, and Vera Baird all good trad lab, they've had their little (21% swing) protest about the steelwairks but now find themselves shoring up the Tories. One hopes that the new MP enjoys his few weeks of power.

I imagine that there'll be a lot of folk in Dormanstown kicking themselves v v hard today GJ. Given the results there and the voting history of the area, presumably the very last thing that they were voting for was a Conservative Lib Dem alliance. I guess, like a lot of others, they thought that Lib Dems would take a whole lot of seats from Labour. Hey ho, ye take yer chances when ye put that X in a box

Ian Swales	Liberal Democrat	18,955	45.2	+25.0
Vera Baird	Labour	13,741	32.7	-18.6
Steve Mastin	Conservative	5,790	13.8	-4.1
Martin Bulmer	UK Independence Party	1,875	4.5	+3.0
Kevin Broughton	British National Party	1,475	3.5	+1.0
Hannah Walter	Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition	127	0.3	+0.3
Majority		5,214	12.4
Turnout		41,963	62.5	+4.5

GJ, I was just googling stuff re the closure of the Corus steel works and the position of the different parties and found something where the Lib Dems blamed it on the failure of Labour to join the Euro...and we all know Mr. Cameron's position on that!

It's "steeelwairks"

I think politicians will say anything to gain power. Who knows? Cameron may cancel Trident!
