DT Politics Thread

Seems ConDems have crashed down south as expected with Labour making pretty big gains. 

Be interesting to see how things pan out in Scotland but presumably given it is STV there won't be any councils where a party has overall control.  Apparently heading for the lowest turnout in years up here but then you'd hardly know there was an election on where I stay.  No posters or billboards and I only got one leaflet through my door which was Tory, which is bizarre given in my ward I'd imagine they'd do well to get even 4th on 1st preference never mind get anywhere near a seat.

 

Don't suppose it means much so far away from a GE but already had Tory MPs demanding Callmedave is more right wing after UKIP success in the south and comedy figure Lebit Opik demanding Nick Clegg resigns as leader of the Lib Dems (but seemingly stay on as Deputy PM).

Also glad to see that so far nobody has voted in favour of Mayors in various English cities. Total waste of time and money and nothing more than a celebrity driven ego trip (see B. Johnston and K. Livingston)

and?

Nothing else, just an apology. You made a mistake, that's all.

I 'shared' a news story in the off topic section of an aberdeen supporters message board.

I can only presume you are quite a sensitive soul who cannot stand any notion that there may have been a couple of blokes outside a polling office who made an ill advised joke which through the wonders of social media, political spin and good old fashioned Chinese whispers was sent down the wire to a Conservative MSP who chose to tweet it into the public domain and therefore into the media.

 

Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing as you have demonstrated already by refering to me as a lying cunt although you still havent used that freedom of speech to point out where I have lied?

 

Lying is stating something is truth/ fact when you know fine well it is neither.

Given I dont live in Annan, am not Ruth Davidson or a telegraph journalist I have the option to decide if I think it is true or mere scaremongering until further information is brought to light or i stop caring.

By your logic I could suggest you are a liar for posting Jim Murpheys 'barging a protestor' video as evidence he was behind the unpleasant scenes at St Enoch last weekend.

 

But back to the election

 

Labour 3

Conservative 1

645 seats to go

 

Lib dems have lost their deposit in all 4 declared seats so far.

 

 

 

 

 

Looking like exit poll result for Scotland could be on the money if comments from counts are correct. Hopefully wrong as far as England goes but not looking good.

SNP take Kilmarnock and Loudon

Lib Dems lose their deposit again

'at

Snp and Tories head to head atm!

Jim Murphy just lost his seat.

The devil in me wonders if the SNP can get 58 seats with Alex Salmond being the only one to miss out.

 

Much like the campaign years back for everyone to vote labour except in sedgefield so Blair would lose out

Well the clean sweep is gone - Orkney & Shetland sticking with the Lib Dems. The interesting one will be to see if Kennedy holds onto his seat

Cannot believe what people have done in England. I'm embarrassed to be living here and the worst thing is I know plenty of Tory voters.

 

Edit: the only comfort is that London did the right thing, and took seats of those blue cunts.

I think it's a mixture of Tories capitalising on England's fears about an SNP/Labour coalition, together with the fact that Labour have/had a very weak leader.  But the ball started rolling when Salmond said he would be writing the Labour budget!

 

It's 1979 all over again, the SNP helping deliver a majority Tory government.  Expect Cameron to offer devo max pretty quickly.

 

There's also a rise in UKIP voters - 3.5 million I think (twice as much as SNP?)!  Only good thing about FPTP was keeping their seats to a bare minimum.

 

As for the Lib Dems, it's a genuine shame for Charles Kennedy IMHO.  Anti-coalition, anti-war, and a very decent bloke and good constituency MP.

Having a political opinion is like have a great big COCK.

Be proud of it. Share it with those who want to share it with you.

BUT DON'T show it off persistently in public, and certainly don't ram it down people's throats.

What colour is the sky in your world? Total fucking garbage.

This. Except I know a lot of people who I suspect are Tory voters but would never admit it (at least in front of me).

 

Bunch of tight fisted, selfish, self important imbeciles, lacking in original thought and with a complete lack of social conscience.

 

Shame thought Al Murray might at least get his deposit back...

 

;D

What absolute pish - has it ever occured to you that maybe just maybe folk voted for the SNP for their policies and for the fact they are an anti austerity party - give voters credit for voting for what they believe in

 

A massive change swept through Scotland last night  and it has fuck all to do with the tories

For the avoidance of any doubt that was posted as a joke.

Picked it up on Facebook in the early hours of this morning, thought it particularly relevant of sharing at the time.

All for good debate folks :thumbsup:

Can't believe that Scotland has more Panda's than Labour MP's!  ;D

Milliband, Clegg and Farage all resigned.

 

Jim Murphy staying on.

Boris has already suggested it.

Many voted because there was a chance that they could be in a coalition and actually have a say.  But now we have another 5 years of austerity, unless Cameron reaches out to the SNP which he really has to do.

 

English voters have rejected the SNP.  If they wanted a coalition of Labour/SNP they would have voted for it.

It will be a tory majority government.

Hopefully the SNP wipe the Labour party off the face of the map in Scotland.

 

Could get interesting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmmm Hmmm

Erm no, about a fifth of the SNP. The SNP stood in 8% of seats, were there any seats that UKIP didnt stand in?

Does creepy have no shame?

Going on his posts on here... probably not.
