... Very Silly Party
... two votes.
Also, the Conservative Home blog will have the skinny on the goings-on within the Torie party.
Early indications are that the Conservatives will win a narrow majority and that David Cameron will become the next Prime Minister.
End the Muslim takeover and the Commie domination of the English government.
The Tories won't do anything. They're just Labour Lite.

“The BBC’s Martha Kearney has had a steer. Here are two posts that she’s put up recently on Twitter.
Lab campaign source tells they think 310-320 for Cons; 280 for Lab. 71% turnout
Senior Tory tells me they have small overall majority.”

Barney Frank today announced he likes the sound of this “hung parliament.” He said if that is the result of the British elections he’ll be resigning Congress, giving up his US citizenship and moving to the UK to run for Parliament.

2109 The latest polls are pointing to a hung parliament, with the Tories securing a few seats fewer than the 326 they need for an outright majority. But with the outcomes in the contested marginal notoriously difficult to predict, and up to 40pc of voters still undecided this morning, it’s really anyone’s guess.
2101 Just an hour to go before polls close and the real fun - the counts, the swingometers and the Dimblebees - can get underway. We have reporters at around 20 counts across the country, who will bring you first word of the results in key marginals. The earliest results are expected around 11pm, with the majority of the 650 constituencies planning to declare by 6am.
Go Tories!
I’m with Peter Hitchens in thinking that a victory for Camreon is a victory for Cameronism and the death of any chance for Thatcherism now or in the the future.
I hope he fails, to get a Tory majority.
2134 Breaking news from the Press Association:
“Mr and Mrs Brown had lamb stew for dinner at their home. The Prime Minister went for a nap at about 8.30pm.”
2128 Shocking incompetence from council officials in Merseyside. The Liverpool Echo is reporting that voters were turned away from polling booths due to a shortage of ballot papers. On the bright side, the incident adds to the growing pile of anecdotal evidence of high turnout.
2123 As you watch the results come in on television this evening, you’ll want this spreadsheet up on your computers. It currently shows every seat in the country, listed by expected declaration time, with the swing needed for each one to change hands. It will be updated through the night with instant results.
2118 Alastair Jamieson, our man at the Poplar & Limehouse count, witnessed some disturbing scenes in Tower Hamlets earlier today, where police were called to a school in Copley Road, Stepney, to deal with a gang of about 20 workers from all parties who were crowding voters at the entrance to the polling station:
“The Telegraph observed that Asian women were being particularly targeted by the crowd, who followed them into the entrance, shouting. Many of those voting appeared to be neighbours or relatives of those hanging around the polling station entrance and were appealing to them directly for their vote.”
BBC exit poll says Conservatives largest party, 19 short of an overall majority.
Tory Cameron said he is very fond of Barack Obama and Saul Alinsky . Tory NOT .
Why the H__l isn’t BBC-America carry any converage? At the momement they have a rerun of Gordon Ramseys Kitchen Nightmares. While I normally enjoy a little Gordan Ramsey, I would much rather see some election coverage. Dish Network doesn’t carry c-span 3 and all the online links that have been posted are saying “server busy”. I guess I just screwed...
There isn’t even a political party that aren’t Nazi’s that oppose Islam. BNP are national socialists.
EDL isn’t a party.
Britain is soooo dead.
