I 'king hope it's wrong.  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

If that exit poll is correct (the YouGov one has different figures), I'd like to know how the intercourse could the Tories possibly win so many seats? Edit: sorry, mistakenly mixed up some figures and didn't realise the LibDems have been almost wiped out in that exit poll.

I can only imagine the bullshit scaremongering and lies from the Tories and their press has had an effect and the acquiescence of the BBC has helped them out a great deal.

Various non-dom billionaires around the country will be rubbing their hands with glee as they've certainly got their money's worth. Tough luck poor folk. Things are about to get lots worse.  

If this is true, the really worrying thing is that the next election will be even worse with the right-wing press doubling down on the excrement-slinging.

End of the Union here we come and, I imagine, an exit from Europe as well. The country is in serious trouble.

BBC exit poll suggests that Labour defeat UKIP in Grimsby. Hope that's true because I said I'd move if UKIP won.

Wow, can't believe the Tories might even get a majority!

Can't see any way that the Union can survive following the SNP landslide - Cameron's divisive words on the morning after the independence referendum have done the trick and helped to return him to power but he'll be remembered as the Prime Minister who oversaw the end of the Union.

A British exit from the UK looks to be a real possibility now as well, you'd have to say, unless the Tory press swing against exit when the promised referendum eventually occurs. God on knows how disastrous that could prove to be.

At least UKIP look to have crashed and burned and it's good to see Melanie Onn won in Grimsby as well.

Ugh. The thought of another 5 years listening to bullshit spilling out of the mouths of Cameron, Osborne and some of the other toxic Conservative no-marks turns my stomach.

Quite apt that Nick Clegg should keep his seat on the back of Conservative votes. Says it all really.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner
I've got a horrible feeling we'll end up with a Tory majority. I think the average man in the street still swallows the narrative of profligate Labour chucking money around and the Tories taking the difficult decisions to get things back on an even keel. I think a high percentage of floating voters will, with that in mind, decide voting Tory is the 'safe' option. I also think a lot of those indicating a instinct to vote for UKIP will actually go Tory when it comes to a General Election. Labour are also going to do pretty abysmally in Scotland. For these reasons I think the Tory vote will actually be greater than opinion polls are suggesting and I think they'll have a small majority. God help us all then.


£20 on a Tory majority sweetens the pill a bit but only to the extent that a granule of sugar would sweeten a dog turd.

Can you give me next week's lottery numbers as well?  

As I feared, my stomach flipped when Osborne came on telly earlier.

Crikey, even Ed Balls has just lost his seat! Surprised to see one of the major Labour politicians wasn't in a safer seat than that. Yvette Cooper will probably be one of the major Labour politicians in the next parliament so just get ready for the slings and arrows from the Tory press to begin heading her way.

It will have to be almost a clean sheet in the Labour party next time as they try to pick up the pieces after the next Tory government.

Very dissapointing night but I do take some pride that my hometown chose not to elect UKIP.
