General Election 2015

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Cor blimey @ Thurrock. Love a three way marginal

 

[JJ1532]

Boris holds his seat easily. Jesus H though, he was running against a bunch of jokers.

 

[Alty]

I always wonder about these random independents. I kind of get the ones with silly names or campaigning on a single issue. But if you're just Joe Bloggs, you pay your £500 and then get 37 votes on polling day...what the fuck is the point?

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Oh Vince

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

This night is the WORST

 

[Alty]

Cable gone! OMG! A free run at the leadership for Farron then...

 

[StagsForLife]

So Its going to be a Tory government then. Can we seperate from Scotland yet?

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Ooh Cleggers. Kinda hope he loses given the scale of the LD losses

 

[Alty]

They seem confident he's just held on.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Urgh, fuck off Nick

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

"...it could be into single figures, that's lower then ten..."

 

[Alty]

"Stop the Fiasco" Is that a party name or a personal nickname!?

 

[Alty]

Sounds like Clegg is stepping down...

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Sounds like he might be standing down...

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

SNAP!

 

[Alty]

Esther McVey gone. WEll at least that's something. Viva El Norte.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Yes! McVeigh gone!

 

[Alty]

Damn. Soubry hangs on. She is absolutely DREADFUL. Worst type of moronic Tory gobshite.

 

[Captain Scumbag]

Nationalism meets the quirks of our electoral system (as of 5am):

SNP: 1.3 millions votes, 50 seats
UKIP: 1.5 milion votes, 1 seat

Final totals will probably be even more hilarious than Vince losing in Twickenham.

Looks like the predictable happened in East Lothian – i.e. a clearly pro-Union constituency getting a Nationalist arse-hat as their MP because the "Union" vote from the referendum got split between Lib-Lab-Con. Same happend in Aberdeenshire & Kincardine (an old constituency of mine).

Happy for Carswell. Otherwise the scene looks fairly dismal. Most important thing at this stage, obviously, is that Jacob Rees-Mogg is re-elected.

 

[Alty]

Really hope Kennedy can upset the polls and hang on.

Agreed.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Hmm, Cons taking seats such as Gower and Southampton Itchen from Lab. Poor.

 

[Alty]

Charlie Kennedy comfortably beaten

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

The Green candidates don't scrub up very well...

Brick, Nick, the Flying

 

[Captain Scumbag]

So... how plastered is everyone?

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Not nearly as plastered as I'd like to be...

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Not sure how much longer I can stay awake. Think I'm largely just holding out for the Ashdown/Campbell clothes eating show.

Would quite like to see Balls/Farage, but not sure either are imminent...

Confirmed!

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Just seen the Tories trounced everyone in my locale. Urgh. Should probably go to bed but might just have another beer.

I'm quite impressed by you diligently staying awake all night just to catch the election results as they happen. Impressive!
