I voted for Red Ed. Also went to see the Super Furry Animals at the Albert Hall after negotiating with a tout.
Great night!

Moment of the election night so far; discovering that the Conservative candidate for Sunderland West is a Mr Bob Dhillon

Wish I could get involved with the discussions, but as a civil servant it's a bit close to the line!

Should be an interesting night anyway!!!!

Is voting tory and being in a union contradictory?

That's fine though mate, as it's really important that the fucking plebs have jobs at all.

I see how you siezed on one bad thing rather than looking at the overall picture. I said jobs matter because it allows a larger number of people to support a smaller number of people. It's simple logic. The company I work for employed an additional 1200 people over the past two years, give or take. Proper, full time, well paying jobs.

Actually we struggled to fill them as it happens, lots of competition in the sector compared to 4 years ago when jobs were hard to find and I remember spending most of my time worrying about losing my job and not being able to find another.

I'm not suggesting David Cameron went out and created those jobs himself, and I don't think the coalition had a huge amount to do with the recession bounceback. However I am happy that they didn't break anything sufficiently badly for it to be prevented from happening. I work on a 'which glass is least half full' concept, I think they're all bad options as a starting point. I find the Conservative party has the policies I conflict least with, nobody will ever offer the full spectrum of left to right ideas that I actually believe in. That was supposed to be the LD position, back in the day.

As for the other comment, go ahead and ignore me if you like, I don't really care either way.

Wow, genuinely surprised to see so many tories here.

Reluctantly went for Labour in my marginal (Hove), green for council.

Deleted user 8 May 2015 00:10:23

That's reasonable, tbh. If that's how you've experienced things, then I don't blame you for voting Tory.

Just switched over to ITV and they're saying 6 results are in already, versus the BBCs 3.

This so happens every time. The bbc only call results when they are utterly certain, lesser agencies declare results earlier

Well, that's not technically true, even though it hasn't translated into MPs. In the 2010 general election 16.9% of the Scottish population voted Tory. Around 490,000 people. Obviously not much in the grand scheme of things, but not actually as low as most people often think.

There are quite a lot of people in Scotland with views that largely align with the Tories, and we used to vote Tory. Thatcher killed it in Scotland with the poll tax, in the same way Labour appear to have killed themselves on the back of the referendum.

I say this as a typically LibDem voter who has never voted Tory (in terms of politics I'd consider myself dead-centre rather than left or right, but think there needs to be balance with either a centre party, or a strong left and right to ensure competition towards the centre).

I actually think the success of the SNP in Scotland, if it is as big as predicted, will push the UK as a whole to being far more right leaning because it divides and weakens the left to dangerously low levels. That may further fuel the fires in itself towards another Scottish referendum, in addition to the obvious strength of the SNP and there Nationalist ideology.

If that was to me, I actually didn't

If there had been a box saying '50/50 Conservative/Libdem coalition' I'd have ticked that. I don't trust any government which contains people all of one mind.

Ah, so it's like the Gallup Top 40 versus those air-play charts played on dodgy AM radio stations. Gotcha.
