General Election 2015

[dazzer6666]

Every election I wait for the exit polls then go to bed. Until then I like to channel hop looking for some pundits, commentators and party faithful kicking off in a jovial but barbed manner.

However I will be up around 6am to see how it has panned out overnight. It's usually pretty entertaining by then as most of the politicians are absolutely shattered and are easy prey for a presenter/interviewer to tear apart. Especially as they'll all be trying to spin the result their way.

I think the really interesting stuff will start around midday.

Agree. I need to be in London early so think I might have an early night, and get up very early, going to be more interesting then possibly.

FWIW, I still don't know who I will be voting for tomorrow but aside from that triviality, we've got a fascinating few days ahead of us.

Let us know your decision, constituency and rationale for it.

I'm in bad shape already. Are a long couple of days in Bristol I had a few ciders last night, was up well beyond midnight before falling asleep on the sofa.

I need to re-think my strategy for tonight.

True Blue constituency. I think Lib Dem for me because they've sacrificed themselves for the sake of the country.

Not Lib Dems. Just can't trust them.

I can't decide. They all seem very impressive to me.

Christ! you are easily pleased!!

I think Green is the only sensible long term option for any of us. The problem is, people say they are Green, but in practice they find them unpalatable.

Could it be that people like the actual Green environmental policies, but don't like all the other 'Green+' social and economic policies that come bundled with them ?

Been invited to Westminster. Hear Hear!

No idea, but a friend from Brighton on Facebook has just posted this:

"Greens 1960s campaign bus just chugged past me issuing choking fumes and pollution - do they not see the irony of that?"

Edit: apparently it is running on recycled cooking oil

Surprised he/she didn't notice the smell: they're like motorised chip shops

It has come to my attention that Ed Milliband's wife is quite attractive.

She's quite cute looking.

Yup. That really is a bizarre prediction, way out of the kilter with the others (see: http://www.may2015.com for evidence). Still, perhaps that's the last poll we'll see for a while selected by @Titanic. He'll be on a new thread trying to insist that, despite not getting a majority, because the Tories managed to get a few more seats than Labour that they have the 'moral' or 'democratic' legitimacy to govern. There will be a lot of that over the next week or so.

We will see soon enough now, won't we. Let's just hope that we don't end up with someone in office but not in power, the worst result possible.

Milliband clearly has good taste.

Probably the last major opinion poll for this election...

IPSOS Mori:

Con 36%
Lab 35%
UKIP 11%
LDem 8%
Green 5%
Others 5%

 

[jimbob5]

I would not trust any of them.

 

[Titanic]

I would not trust any of them.

Politicians? Opinion polls? or women??
