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.
So, how exactly do we 'get there from here'?

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.

Hey ho. John Battle got more than 3 times as many as the LibDem who came second.

Somerset(where I live) on the BBC map is Liberal Dem
My Brother told me he voted Conservative
I've only just started becoming aware, understanding and taking part in politics.
I thought the swing-O-metre was a bit weird last night, the whole thing felt like a game show.

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.
