The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

They have become irrelevant. As labour they may have pushed Miliband over the line and had a say in government. As the SNP they have pushed the rest of the UK away from Labour, improved the Tories and made it so that no Scottish MP will have a say from within Government........

and that is why they held the key pete... the snp voters are basically labour voters but have suddenly become nationalistic... snp gain = labour loss = tory government

Jim Murphy loses his seat in Scotland......

plus it gave the press in england a focal point to attack labour, even if it was a false point based around scaremongering, not that I blame the scots to be honest

Shut up Jeremy, it's a digital visualisation, it's not going to break,

He is one annoying bugger.

The DUP is truly a despicable political party.

Do the people of England really want this shower being allowed to prop up their government?

As you said earlier a tory majority would actually seem preferable to that scenario.

Just looking on in horror now. The Anti-English vote north of the border and the Anti-Scottish vote south of the border have combined to produce a nightmare scenario for both camps.

I thought you meant they would be key going forward, which they no longer are. Murphy has just lost his seat so Labour are now just like the Tories up there. I've said before that the only way back for either party would be to cut their links to central office and become the Scottish Conservative Party and the Scottish Labour Party. The writing has been on the wall for a while......

Con GAIN from Lab, Vale of Clywd, on a 3.9% swing. Devastating result, that.

Yep. Nailed on Tory majority now. I can't cope. Good night all.

And they picked up Brecon from the LD......

I don't think they could. If all the SNP were Labour fair enough, but there is a massive distrust of the SNP south of the border.......

How you going to enact changes if you don't have any power, idiots?!

Yip.

It is the mother of all Pyrrhic victories.

 

[badger blue]

The Tories and the DUP in government together!!! What a concoction!! Such a lovebomb of politicians, all falling over each other to nail the working class!
