The 2010 General Elections in the United Kingdom are underway, and the first results will trickle in in the next few hours. Post your observations here, and let's all root for the Tories!
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Labour hold in Exeter.
Just remember in Italy their parliament has deputies, whereas the British Parliament has Members :)
Simple. He’s a nut :)
aaarrggghhhh
this is killing me
While welfare dependence is a bigger problem in Scotland and Wales than it is in the UK, the Tories are associated with the (English) Aristocracy and Unionism in general. The only two parties that matter in Scotland are Labour and the SNP (Lib Dems haven’t apparently made as many inroads as they had hoped). Ditto the Welshies with Labour and Plan Cymru.
Labour regained a seat in Detroit.. I mean Glasgow, hee hee.
Con gain Loughborough from Labour.
bump
Glasgow=Detroit lol
Glasgow is the loan sharking capital and bar fight capital of the UK. Sounds like alot of fun to me...
A recount in Broxtow?
Tough to tell right now. Tories just picked up Aberconwy in Wales, but they suck in Scotland right now. They’re probably still on track at least to get over 300.
Lots of Scotland seats reporting right now, which accounts for the high Labour numbers.
Should read, “While welfare dependence is a bigger problem in Scotland and Wales than it is in ENGLAND”
All this talk of voters being turned away because of long lines or lack of ballots is bad. If I couldn’t vote I’d be furious. So how soon before the left and the media start comparing this to Republicans stealing FL in 2000, or OH in 2004?!
Can someone tell me in American English what is going on? I’m very confused.

Another Con gain in Wales!!!
It isnt good, although its unlikely that any results have been materially affected.
Vale of Glamorgan was one the Tories needed in Wales and they got it.
If nobody wins a majority Brown has first crack at forming a govt
