I've loved reading and contributing to this juggernaut of a thread - probably my favourite ever in my too many years on NSC. I shall miss it when it slips into NSC oblivion, as it inevitably must. Inspired thread Herr Tubthumper and thanks to everyone who posted. During the campaign this was...

As a point of interest, now that he returns to normal life, how long will it take Ed Miliband to stop himself responding to every enquiry with the over-rehearsed, "That's a great question..." Ed in Tesco: "Do you have a Clubcard?" "That's great question Nicola..." Ed filling up at BP "Would...

All the important dialogue is going to happen in London - be it between Westminster politicians or on TV interviews on the evening bulletins or Newsnight. Nicola is going to end up waiting by a phone for a scheduled call from the Office of The Prime Minister that mysteriously never comes or...

Will be interesting to see the unfolding dynamic between Salmond and Sturgeon. Politics is a brutal game but often the most brutal rivalries are between party colleagues. Sturgeon has stolen the limelight since she became leader but all the focus is now going to be on their Westminster MPs with...

To be fair, I bought it too. I couldn't believe that that many polls, conducted so frequently, could be wrong, plus they all came back with the same result. Up until the publication of the Exit Poll at 10pm on Thursday I had been thoroughly convinced that that the vote share would be 34% for...

Hopefully the one thing that this election has done has utterly destroyed the concept and credibility of opinion polling during the campaign. Opinion polls used to be an interesting side bar to the campaigning but now they utterly dominate. They drive the news agenda every day, they shape the...

:lolol: The other thing this thread teaches us is how to take a defeat on the chin with good grace and humour.:clap2:

You might be proud. On VE Day, when we remember those who died fighting the Nazis and liberated Europe so that we could, amongst other things, have free elections - I believe it is pretty disrespectful.

Let me make sure I've got this straight. Every prediction and assessment you have made has proved to be not just wrong - but spectacularly wrong - yet you call others dumb? The reason you get it so wrong every time is because your analysis is never based on an assessment of what is actually...

What time did everybody make it to last night? I was fully engaged until about 5.30, then I think I dozed on the sofa till about 6.30 when my 5 year old daughter appeared and woke me up.

Cable: Mental note to manager, HSBC Twickenham. "I've just lost my job."

Go bo!

Its getting light outside and the birds are singing. A new day is dawning in more ways than one. But having said all that, I am going to get a massive bollocking in a few hours as I said I was just staying up to see the Sunderland result

Fair play HT. You wanted one thing and I wanted another. If I end up disappointed next time I will remember this and hope I take it on the chin with as good a grace as you. After all, its only politics. Tomorrow we all get back on with our lives,

The dawn chorus is in full song outside my windows. Children sleeping soundly and all is well in the world. The next five years starts here.

So I ask again - where's Ernest? 04.14 am and he's deserted his party and his principles. Tells you everything you need to know about socialists. No stamina. No stomach and head for bed at he first opportunity.

"Labour leadership contests starts tomorrow" BBC coverage

This pumps me up!

Labour miss their No 1 target seat, Warwickshire north. Omni-shambles. Ed should fall on his sword tonight.
