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

I feel a little sick.

What do results look like for the Greens or Plaid Cymru?

The exit poll has both up one.

They're saying the Lib Dems aren't going to get their deposit back in many seats. How low do you have to fall for that to happen?

Below 5% of the vote.

Clegg is out.

Farage left the door open for him to run for Leader, so I suspect he will after some needed rest.

Anyone have a idea when Ed Miliband will make his speech?

I'll never forget how transparent the dude on BBC election night was; "we'll go to the highest bidder".

I guess there is something to be said for honesty.

The UKIP was generally weak in larger inner cities is my impression. Outside that zone, I suspect the leak from LAB to UKIP was substantially greater.

No one writes 'The UKIP'.

Anyway, outside of Kent and Essex there doesn't appear to have been substantial leakage of 2010 Labour support to the Kippers.

Normally only outsiders to British politics.

And I blame that mainly on how well UKIP has picked up ex-blue collar Labour voters.
