Maybe in another 50 years the Liberal Democrats under a new name can make another bid for relevance, only to go into coalition with the Tories again.

Maybe they could go back to being the Liberals... no, even better - bring back the SDP!

Suggestions that Galloway might be struggling in Bradford West.
GOOD. He deserves it.

Swindon North:
50% Conservative
28% Labour
15% UKIP
3% Green
3% Lib Dem (slightly behind Green)

2010 results:
45% Conservative
31% Labour
17% Lib Dem
4% UKIP
3% BNP
1% Green

Looks like UKIP would have mopped up some of the 2010 Lib Dem protest voters in N Swindon, by which I mean "I'm voting Lib Dem/UKIP because they're not Labour or the Tories".

Lib Dems hold first deposit (and obtain first third place) at Putney.

Greens and UKIP missed out on holding deposits by 0.2% and 0.4% respectively.

Lib Dems are getting slaughtered everywhere.

I'm starting to wonder if Clegg will actually hold his seat...

Tories have just gained Vale of Clwyd from Labour.

Also, Tories have held Peterborough, Labour have held Islwyn, and Plaid Cymru have held Carmarthen East and Dinefwr.

Tories have just gained Vale of Clwyd from Labour.

Edit: there's a recount going on.

Fingers crossed!

Also, SNP have gained East Dunbartonshire and Midlothian.

If Clegg loses, who will be LD leader? Who will want to?

The real question is: Who will be LEFT to lead the Lib Dems?

EDIT: UKIP came third in Grimsby.

Tories have held Hastings & Rye, and I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this earlier, but UKIP won almost 30% in Dagenham & Rainham, which borders the yet-to-be-declared Thurrock.

Tories hold Thurrock, UKIP in third place.

Carswell may well be UKIP's only MP.

This comes as a shock, given both the wafer-thin Tory majority, and UKIP's strong performance in both Dagenham & Rainham and South Basildon & East Thurrock.

Now that's a shock, I thought he had a good personal following?

Lib Dems have held Southport, although lost Eastbourne.
