I was actually thinking about that....what will happen to UKIP at the next General Election? Their whole raison d'etre is to have a Euro In/Out referendum but we should (and I think Cameron will do this) have had this under the Tories in 2017 and the In/Out answer will be known....still so much...

Did this not all happen?? Are you talking to St Peter yet?

With 1 seat to declare, the actual result. Con 330 Lab 232 SNP 56 LD 8 UKIP 1 Green 1 The exit poll actually (slightly underestimated the Tories and overestimated Labour). How wrong, how unbelievably wrong though were all the opinion polls in the weeks leading up to the election

That is it.....but some of the left never get this. They demonise Tory supporters. When you demonise people....they will never vote for you. What you need to do is attract these very people, because you need their votes to win an election. Ed M just about to resign. I guess that sums it all up.

100% agree with this.I have seen many posts on here that back this up. The intellectual superiority that some on the left think they have is one of the main problems they (the left) have. Today some will be saying to themselves...how could the British People vote for the wrong party? When they...

I know what you are saying on an earlier celeb party political broadcast Jo Brand said something along the lines of....and we don't hate the nurses. I thought about that for a moment and thinks that she (and thereby the Labour Party as it was their broadcast) think that Tories and Tory voters...

Farage loses

BBC saying Ed Miliband to resign

Good to see George Galloway booted out too.

Ed is a goner. The radio said this is the third worst number of seats they have ever one. How different it (probably) would have been if they had chosen the other brother! The only way the English (which is where they need to win) are going to vote Labour in is if it is a New Labour style of...

Labour have got such a huge problem going forward. They have lost Scotland (maybe forever) and I can see UKIP in the future targeting seats in the North of England. Their traditional core regions are under threat....they truly have done dreadfully tonight against an incumbent govt that have had...

Balls chopped

I am wondering if after tonight we have 3 party leaders resigning? Milliband, Clegg and Farage.

I see following on from Jo Brand, Martin Freeman and Steve Coogan, Labour have now rolled out the biggest celebrity endorsement of them all. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Labour-candidate-backed-win-Kingswood-seat-Blue/story-26438054-detail/story.html

The Guardian do say that, but it really is hypothetical numbers and I think both the SNP and Labour (esp Labour TBH) would want to avoid. It would be so fragile, one by election loss could tip the balance, you have to make sure every single time on every single vote that 323 goes through that...

So true, it really had a major effect how the public perceived individuals. Thatcher being an obvious example, but people like David Steel too whom said it ruined him. (as he was always in David Owen's pocket) Read an article about Fluck and/or Law recently and they said that Thatcher going...

That always used to be on the start of Spitting Image with someone cutting the strings as Kinnock fell over:lolol::lolol::lolol:

The Guardian poll projection (which shifts daily) has the Cons on 273, Lab 269 and SNP 55 (but Lab and SNP not really having enough together to do anything). LD's 21...I think it will be something like that a very slight Con total seat lead over Lab but also though with the Cons getting an extra...

On a related point going back to the Scots referendum of 6 months or so ago....Do you think Alex Salmond et al stirred up hatred (your terminology) between those whom wanted to leave the Union and those whom wanted to stay? Viewing it as an Englishman (and not being affiliated to any political...

According to Norman Smith (BBC political spokesman) about a week ago on the Today programme (when this policy was first announced) he said that Brown (PM) and Darling (Chancellor) wanted to do this very same thing around 2009, but they did the maths and decided that net, they would lose money...
