Election latest: David Cameron inflicts worst drubbing in 40 years
The Conservatives made sweeping gains across the country early today as voters gave Gordon Brown a huge rebuff in his first electoral test as Prime Minister.
David Cameron chalked up important successes in the North, the Midlands and the South, securing his top target of Bury in Greater Manchester and taking control of Nuneaton and Bedworth, and Southampton.
The Conservatives also took seats in Labour strongholds of Sunderland and Wigan.
Labour suffered one of its worst electoral humiliations, with its national share of the vote dropping to 24 or 25 per cent. The Tory share was projected at 43 or 44 per cent, better than its most optimistic predictions.

I’ll look forward to see how our MSM reports it . . . .
I like Gordon Brown, he’s pro-American. We can’t ask more than that.
First Italy, now England.
Maybe there is hope for Europe...
France and the UK moving right. The Witch, Snobama, or the RINO relic move America left. Something wrong with this picture.
It doesn’t matter. The so-called “conservatives” there are as anti-American as any rabid frenchman!
Only slightly less stale then the formerly conservative tories
How mind blowingly young Cleese looks. I remember when I thought he was old.
Otherwise, what the Hell are the 'Conservatives' over there conserving, anyway?
How do the British keep up with all the names of the over 600 constituencies?
Red Ken may have survived. Dang it.
And other than the bright yellow color he doesn’t appear to have “English” teeth.
Brown should have been lowering interest rates since before he left his last job.
Anyway, about the only good from the Tories taking over is that most of them are against joining the EU’s common currency/Euro and other rubbish.
So Brown’s loss is a greater blow against the EU than anything.
But obviously no hope for a conservative government here in the US.
go visit - you’d love it........
What is this - a general election? Doesn’t this mean Brown loses the prime ministership is his party is out of power?
I guess it had to get really bad in these countries before the people woke up.The same thing applies in the US.It will have to get real bad here before conservatives attain power again.With barry or the witch we are assured of some really “crappy times” coming up.
All one hears is how Bush is out of touch with the rest of the world, how the Europeans don’t respect him, how he has alienated our allies, blah, blah, blah...
And yet the governments of Germany, France, Britain, and Italy have all shifted to be more amenable to conservative policies than when he took office. It’s called leadership. The poll driven democrats, and the Clintons in particular, wouldn’t know it if it swam up and bit them on the rear end...
I’ve been there.
... but the people of GB deserve better, I'm glad to see them kick the bums out of office.
Please let Red Ken go down in flames. I hate that vile anti-american commie POS.
If the UK’s Conservatives are like our John McCain, they’re still screwed.
South Korea too. Conservative pro American governments are sweeping the globe.
I hardly believe it has anything remotely to do with Bush. Cameron is as anti-Bush as any other Brit.
No, it is for local offices only, mostly important to see how the parties are doing with their relative power.
Liberals cannot be trusted with National security. Good to see other countries waking up.
Looks like intelligent people, mainly the working class, realize that democracy and free enterprise are the key to their success and a decent way of life.
That is why they are throwing the reds out of office, esp. in Italy (and brought back Berlusconi).
These people also see the threat of Islamofascism and homegrown Sharia-freaks.
Perhaps there is hope for humanity before it is too late.
He’s a globalist mutt who speaks gleefully about an interdependant world.
He can’t be tossed out soon enough. imo
You have GOT to be kidding.
Please research a bit here.
This is why some say we need to do the same and eject these Democrats for years to come afterwards.
Democrats are nothing like they used to be: Pro-America and Pro-Defense. Hell, it was only, what, 1997, 1998 when Kyoto was voted down with no ‘nays’? Today a Democrat can’t vote in favor of something for this country unless it benefits the Democrat Party politics or the Democrat pol’s pockets.
Having all three branches and driving this country into the ground with their socialist economics and their communist policies would certainly do the trick.
Yes, encouraging.
It’s like everybody has figured out that socialism is a cancer except American Democrats.
In addition to Silvio Berlusconi in Italia and the latest events in the UK don’t forget Angela Merkel in Germany and Sarkozy in France.
Where it is REALLY desperately needed {I have been there and seen it} is BeNeLux - especially in Netherlands.
Mozzie scum run roughshod over the natives there - more rights and protections than a transgendered midget jello wrestler in Gaving Newsome’s kitchen.
That is the place where Theo Van Gogh was shot, then stabbed in the middle of the street in broad daylight by one of those mohammad-worshipping jihadist pig molesters.
Of course, Spain could use some new cojones, too...
A.A.C.
Nothing of the London results yet -- won't see much of them for another eight hours or so.
Hopefully we can get rid of them here also. I don't think Democrats trying to put Malcolm X in the White House will play well with most Americans....will see.
I think the reason they are giving liberals the boot across the globe is because of terrorism. Liberals cannot be trusted with National security.

so Labour may end up with a net loss of around 200 seats??
Hee haw, now if Red Ken goes down hard I will really be able to celebrate!
Who cares about lLabor and Torries whet we want to know is did the Silly party do.
Cameron, who is a “moderate,” can win by default in this environment if a national election were called now.
But Brown will choose the time most favorable to him, if there is one to choose.
A British “conservative” is about like the average Democrat here...
How can a party gain 200 seats and not immediately grab control? They must have been really really down to start with???
It's a good start certainly, the London mayoral elections is the important one though for so many reasons and if Ken sinks this evening they'll be champagne bottles popping everywhere over here in Britain. I've got a few extra beers in the fridge just waiting.....
That's about right, but politically correct liberalism has infected conservative party's the world over including the US.
The only country's in the world I see not infected by this social disease are Italy and Israel. Silvio Berlusconi described illegal immigrants as an army of evil, I mean even the BNP over here wouldn't dare say that and they're a fringe party!!
One thing for sure is they aren’t conserving the indigenous population. To hell with the UK conservatives and Labour. Vote BNP.
These are municipal council seats. There are probably tens of thousands of them in the UK.
