    Ah, the flat screen layabouts, #1 drain on our economy (apart from immigrant benefit scroungers) and recipients of the entire prospective Labour budget

    Living in China, I thought it'd be a little rich of me to mention the immigrants. ;-)

    Ed Milliband holds his seat and looks mighty relieved to do so

    Shockingly low turnout in his constituency. 56% (compared with 68% in my constituency). Was it raining up North yesterday or something?

    Turnouts always lower in safe Labour seats

    Should I be worried as a Brit living in the EU now, that we will pull out?

    given the level of debate about europe encouraged in the english media then yeah you should be terrified

    Around about now, Len McCluskey will be making his 'phone call to Ed telling him he's sacked.
    Taxi for Mr Miliband.

    To be fair that is the only possibility that I can conceivably be happy about Labour winning a seat.

    Also, good morning Britain!

    And what a good morning it is!

    And this is why Miliband's anti Islamophobia policy was so dangerous -
    40 percent of the Muslim population want Sharia law introduced into the UK.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1510866/Poll-reveals-40pc-of-Muslims-want-sharia-law-in-UK.html

    Until such time that Islam reforms and moves into the modern age rather than the stone age, the people of the UK have very good reason to be afraid, very afraid.

    It is amazing looking at the Current vote split compared to our CL poll above. It is scarily accurate.

    After 543 seats the vote split is

    Cons 35%
    Lab 32%
    UKIP 12%
    LD 7%
    Green 4%

    Our poll after just 284 votes is

    Cons 35%
    Lab 32%
    UKIP 14%
    LD 5%
    Green 4%

    Unbelievable

    The privelege is being able to choose whether or not to vote in the first place.

    I think it's a very good day so far for the people of great Britain, we have a party who have stabilsed the economy, shrunk unemployment and given the chance for working families to fell valued, and by promoting those values you show there is an alternative to being given hand outs

    The only shame is that it's no a majority lead,

    The one thing that seems to stand out to me is that people who you would think vote labour must be too lazy to actually go out and vote the % of voters in those areas don't do it

    I expect Osborne is working up proposals for a tax on millionaires' web sites to pay for social housing......

    Be careful out there @AFKABartram!

    BBC reporting that Conservatives are set to win 325 seats, which means majority of the seats in parliament. Sounds better to me than the agreements suggested through the night.
  • Thank goodness for the great people of Great Britain

    See it through now please and get an overall majority

    The country is saved...

    It might as well be a massacre sit back and watch more elderly people die in their homes, more people dying of terminal illnesses that weren't caught in time, more disabled children losing their facilities, more children in deep poverty in actual fact I might turn my living room into a food bank there will soon be one in every street. I really do not understand why people have voted for this. Devastated!
    Oh Sadie. As a proud Tory you make me feel that I should slit my wrists in shame!
    In fact my wife and I have spent our working lives caring for the very people you speak of. Let me tell you Tories care about people just as much, if not more than your Labour friends. It's just that we are more realistic about how best to achieve better outcomes for people. Borrowing money may well make people feel better in the short term, but long term they suffer far more, as the Greek people have discovered.

    Ed Balls asked for recount after trailing by 200 or so votes apparently.

    Zero hours contract for Mr Balls?

    As long as they don't do what the SNP did in their second term (constantly talking referendum), that sounds reasonable.

    I would expect Osbourne to miss his budget targets again, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
