UK General Election - May 7th 2015 (The Official Election Day & Results Thread)

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

Labour hold Clwyd South with a small swing against them, Plaid Cymru up 1.6%.

[Torie]

Recount in Nuneaton, per BBC

I think that seat was about number 3 of the Tory held Labour targets.

No its about 38.

Not on the ITV board. Anyway, apparently the Tories held it.

[The Free North]

Another win for the conservatives

Labor targets not being hit here, do they still have a chance to rectify this later?

Also: greens higher than Lib Dems

[jaichind]

Nuneaton hold by CON on a positive swing.  UKIP did worse than expected.  UKIP->CON tactical voting.

[Vosem]

Clwyd South:
37% Labour
30% Conservative
16% UKIP
10% Plaid Cymru
4% Liberal Democrat
3% Green

2010:
38% Labour
30% Conservative
17% Liberal Democrat
9% Plaid Cymru
3% BNP
2% UKIP

[Thomas D]

Good night.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I hate this election.

[Silent Hunter]

We still have 633 seats to declare, but I'm not optimistic.

[YL]

Terrible result for Labour in Nuneaton.  At this point I'm only staying up for Hallam.

[afleitch]

Nuneaton!

[International Brotherhood of Bernard]

This isn't going anywhere close to where I want it to go but these BBC graphics are on point, which is entertaining at least (as is seeing the LibDems utterly shattered and broken).

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

Nuneaton hold by CON on a positive swing.

First seat I got wrong:

CON - 45.5% (+4)
LAB - 34.9% (-2)
UKIP - 14.4% (+14.4)
GRN - 2.8% (+2.8 )
LD - 1.8% (-13.6%)

[The Free North]

Perhaps this is simpler than we thought before: for labor things are neutral at best and at worse are swinging slightly to the conservatives

[Silent Hunter]

I'll stay up until the next official forecast... and if that's no real change, I'll go to bed.

David Blunkett thinks the exit polls are right and the polls were wrong... in fact that the polls drove people to the Conservatives.

[Donerail]

Martyn McLaughlin of the Scotsman is saying on Twitter that he's hearing the SNP beat the Lib Dems by 4 points in Shetland.

[Torie]

Nuneaton hold by CON on a positive swing.  UKIP did worse than expected.  UKIP->CON tactical voting.

What is the percentage swing? I would like to see the numbers for this seat.

[Kushahontas]

big dump of declarations coming in the next ten or so minutes

Clwyd South:
37% Labour
30% Conservative
16% UKIP
10% Plaid Cymru
4% Liberal Democrat
3% Green

2010:
38% Labour
30% Conservative
17% Liberal Democrat
9% Plaid Cymru
3% BNP
2% UKIP

So basically the Liberal Democratic switched to UKIP? LOL.

[Diouf]

So question now whether the Conservatives can just about sneak a tiny majority or will be a few seats short

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

You will always have Alberta, dear lefties.

[The Free North]

More importantly, the "Cannabis Is Safer Than Alcohol" party increased its vote by 0.1% this time around

[Vosem]

Nuneaton hold by CON on a positive swing.

First seat I got wrong:

CON - 45.5% (+4)
LAB - 34.9% (-2)
UKIP - 14.4% (+14.4)
GRN - 2.8% (+2.8 )
LD - 1.8% (-13.6%)

46-35 in Nuneaton; was 42-37 in 2010. Very encouraging.

[Јas]

But the DUP just lost a seat.

?

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

I'm actually surprisingly shocked by the current results.

[Helsinkian]

Clwyd South:
37% Labour
30% Conservative
16% UKIP
10% Plaid Cymru
4% Liberal Democrat
3% Green

2010:
38% Labour
30% Conservative
17% Liberal Democrat
9% Plaid Cymru
3% BNP
2% UKIP

So basically the Liberal Democratic switched to UKIP? LOL.

General protest vote?
