General Election 2015

Paddy's gonna eat his hat

 

[Dave-Vale]

Where is this going to be won and lost? Where are the swing seats?

 

[TractorBoys]

Fuck me, she's a fucking dishcloth.

 

[TimeyWimey]

Well this is fucking depressing.

Where is this going to be won and lost? Where are the swing seats?

I said 2 pages back all the talk has been about Scotland, the key areas are the north where there is 20 seats could go either to Labour/Conservative and around London where there is another 20 seasons extremely tight between Labour/Conservative.

clearly it is looking like the majority of them 40 seats may be heading blue......that will win or lose the campaign

 

[TractorBoys]

Labour 'expected' targets looking marginal at best, 50/50 take your pick shot at worse.

Oh boy.

 

[The Alex]

Totally depressing, sickening how many votes that horrible vile party has won. The people of this nation are a disgrace. I hope the voters reap the rewards of their selfishness in the years to come.

Now to drown my sorrows.

 

[Mustard]

Well Scotland will leave shortly if this is the new government. Potentially Tory-UKIP-DUP, right-wing bigotry all over the shop.

Best hope is Scotland leaves and we're plunged into a crisis whereby Northern cities can revolt against the government and join with Scotland.

Can't see Scotland leaving any time soon with the collapse of the oil market since the referendum..

@ Pineapple.
Couldn't get tomorrow off, so afraid I have to forgo the Blue Nun and Dimblebot all-nighter and go to bed at a sensible time (i.e. now). Hope it's not too dispiriting. Don't pay too much attention to exit polls. They're often way out. Bon nuit!

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

This was a great Guardian article which highlighted where the battles will be won or lost.

This race to be the first constituency to declare is rather sad really. Take your time and do it right!

 

[The Alex]

Labour have allowed themselves to be made scapegoats, the people will believe anything they hear and not listen to the facts so they won't trust them with the economy.

It's all Sunderland have to play for nowadays.

Surely it would be better if everyone did this race, we could all be in bed by midnight!

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Result is in, no one won as nobody in Sunderland has managed to put a cross in a box for 8 months.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Anyone reckon Sinn Fein might save the day and suddenly decide to take up their seats?

They'd have to consider it but I'm not sure they would to be honest.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

I was kidding. No chance they would. It's just they fuck us over by not sitting, it means the Tories can get a majority with fewer seats by incorporating the raging nutters in the DUP.

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Labour won. That's a shock already.

 

[TractorBoys]

Lol, bless 'em. Looked and sounded like their cup final.

Bon nuit Scumbo! Sorry that you're unable to join in the party. Don't worry, I imagine I'll just ply myself with more booze if things get too dispiriting...

 

[TractorBoys]

Cameron gone 1/10 as next PM.. Ed 6/1

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Lol, bless 'em. Looked and sounded like their cup final.

We'll see how the first Tory win sounds ay?
UKIP came second ahead of the Tories. Bit of a shock.

 

[Nath]

This is depressing.

 

[JJ1532]

Labour take an early lead in the election, nudging ahead through steady Phillipson. Great finish mind, 1-0 Reds.

+1 for you doing that after each and every result comes in.

 

[Stevencc]

Good old Sunderland!

 

[TractorBoys]

Ed Balls to lose his seat? Rumour mill begins...

 

[Cheese & Biscuits]

Paddy Pantsdown is pissed isn't he?

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Incredible contrast between polls and then this exit poll, almost unheard of for such a large difference?!

For an austere government making cuts to actually increase its seats and vote share is also unheard of.

Going to be fascinating to see how it all actually plays out. Gutted I work to sleep and work fairly early!

Many of those Labour predictions have to be marginal either way.
