General Election 2015

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Greening's quite a tolerable Tory imo

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

Are you having a breakdown?

No, anyone with social-democratic beliefs should be horrified by what's going on this evening.

 

[Alty]

And now we're hearing Farage is almost certain to lose.

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

And now we're hearing Farage is almost certain to lose.

To a Tory, what's the difference?

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Yup, wouldn't disagree with that

 

[The Alex]

When exactly did the Tories last win an election?

Seems to me all they're doing is creating a dysfunctional torn country

 

[Alty]

To a Tory, what's the difference?

Far healthier to have an open Eurosceptic who talks like an actual human in Parliament than another Tory party machine bod.

 

[Aber gas]

Labour hold Sunderland and the Torys hold Swindon and Putney . In other news, bears shit in the woods .

Northern England. Soon to be an independent country. Separate administrative, business and cultural capitals in Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool.

 

[Dave-Vale]

The Labour/Tory North/South divide.

Can't we just breakaway?

 

[Alty]

Christ. Tories made a fist of Tooting.

This really is depressing.

 

[Alty]

That Sadiq Khan speech was a bit of a pitch for Mayor of London.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Hmm, Tooting's an interesting seat. Khan rather held it against all odds last time, but given Labour's relatively strong performance in London, that's an underwhelming looking result.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

The Labour/Tory North/South divide.

Can't we just breakaway?

It's as much an urban/rural divide tbh

 

[GodsGift]

Galloway has stormed out of the count in Bradford

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Misheard the result and thought Labour had taken Battersea Exit polls are looking quite accurate, regrettably...

 

[TheArtfulDodger]

London is going more Tory....it is south v north!

 

[SALTIRE]

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

The oil market is beginning to bounce back and it was not a crisis that people like to believe it was. If we could vote again on Independence tomorrow, we'd leave, but unfortunately there were too many cowards when it came to the crunch and it looks like we along with Northern England will be the ones suffering again, whilst South East England bathes in their champagne and smoked salmon lunches and get richer whilst the rest of us struggle.

Fuck me, my mate made the right move three years ago by getting the fuck out to Oz - wish I could join him currently.

 

[Alty]

Galloway has stormed out of the count in Bradford

Reminds me of him describing the count in Bethnal Green and Bow as being conducted in a fashion befitting a banana republic

I'd imagine he'd quite enjoy living in a banana republic .

The age of oil is slowly coming to an end, any new national economy being backed by oil now is looking for disaster whether or not Salmond overvalued the oil that Scotland actually had (which he did). It's too unstable a market, particularly with what has been going on in the middle east, Russia, the lack of understanding of how much oil the North Sea actually has, the onset of fracking and the increased viability of alternative energy. Honestly, I know it doesn't fit in with the nationalism line, but I think Scotland really dodged a bullet. Maybe years down the line when their economy is more diversified, but not now.

 

[Alty]

Pleased Durkan easily held Foyle. Sinn Fein have been talking up their chances of taking it for years. Never made significant headway. Hume's legacy.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

I'm stunned how Tory Crewe and Nantwich has become. Yes Nantwich is the quintessential Tory town but its sad to see Crewe's current state.

1992

 

[Alty]

Simon Hughes, Danny Alexander and most sadly Charles Kennedy all set to lose their seats. Wow.

 

[Alty]

Labour failed miserably in Nuneaton. FFS.

Tories on for a majority at this rate.

I agree that we have to start being less reliant on oil. There is tremendous potential in greener energy programmes up here and we need to start looking into those seriously imo.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Danny Alexander always was a smug ginger rodent

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

This is a disaster

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Lib Dems figures are appalling in Nuneaton
