Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Elmet, my apparent constituency (it's miles away from us) has always been a Labour stronghold. Unfortunately, most of my neighbours don't realise there's even been a 'war' recently. And those that do no doubt think the 'towelheads' deserved it.
How many candidates are standing in Sedgefield, ffs?
I've seen smaller orchestras on a stage!
Rochford & Southend East was the expected dull Tory landslide. Probably not too upset with how this is panning out. Couldn't see a viable alternative to Labour, but pleased that the majority will be trimmed a bit. Looks like the Tories still aren't making the kind of progress they've hoped for.
oh well, looking at the BBC's map, it's good to see Brighton/Hove/Lewes as a red/orange outpost amongst a sea of undead blue.
Overall, I think the result is pretty much what I expected, and probably as good as could be realistically imagined - Labour majority slashed (and hopefully their right-wing/authoritarian tendencies reined in a bit - we'll see) and LibDem seats increased.
I would have liked to see the tories reduced to third-party status (as just desserts for 1979-1997 and obviously because they're a bunch of racist homophobic bastards) but I guess I'll have to wait for another election for that.

Robert Killroy-Fuckface anyone?
Unfortunately, he didn't lose his deposit (he probably wouldn't care) but he was SO PISSED OFF. Perhaps he realized that he's a total political joke and loads of people think he's a twit. On the other hand, George Galloway got a 15,000 majority and he's a piece of s**t too.
