yes i can't imagine what the vibe must be like in Thirsk, must be random. i gather the poor soul died a fortnight ago though i must admit i only started to hear about it on the day of Farage's escape... ...great use of a Chomsky quote there from Hari swears, nice one. very, very true.

lovely stuff, cheers hucks :) @Vim, yes, that stat is starkly illustrative. isn't it also the case that for Greens the figure is about 200,000?!

really? get in.

yes definitely you'd think?! @massrock, re density, did you see early last night one of the BBC people (either Maitlis or Vine) did something w a computer graphic that sort of showed a half-way workable answer to your density query? i forget now so i'm afraid less than useless response! though...

BNP w the fairly meagre 1.9% of the vote so far a definite positive takeaway. i know Robinson had a bad time of it in Belfast East but i was expecting the DUP to maybe up to 10, that's another party the Tories go with. instead they have 8. the three Greater Mcr seats that were Lib remain, and...

well, that covers just about anything tbf, doesn't it?!

Lembit Opik versus Paxman quite fun.

very true. i mean it's not often Alastair Campbell has a valid point. shame as Boulton's interview w Obama not too long after he got in was very well done (within the obvious limitations) and he normally comes across well. had to laugh at Kelvin Macca casting aspersions about Campbell's taste...

overall i must say the aforesaid Adam Boulton is, all things considered, a bit of a disingenuous, facetious cunt.

High Peak, Leics NW, both decent Tory gains. Chester, Nunny, Tamworth too. not surprised Tories got Aberconwy as that is essentially wealthy English, second homes fare round there, and Lembit for Montgomeryshire pissing it (for SKY's Adam Boulton's wry "personal reasons") not too surprising...

i noticed John Reid say anecdotally that Tory voters tend to vote earlier, and Lab voters later, but he would say that. (and of course no mention of voters of any other party.) Sheffield Hallam is certainly LD territory, i think, Mcr Withington is LD (a solid local Labour challenge has been in...

yes the London seats are very interesting

:rolleyes: another + 10% swing in an English seat (admittedly Blair's old one and who likes him) for the Tories. early seats really showing up how the Tories are an English party...

Baroness Phwoar-Si, silver-haired charmer Paddy, and stentorian Kinnock, it's the top-shelf card for Paxman at the moment...

oh we have all sorts of silly polls too :) but yeah in about literally twelve hours time from time of this post, things should be much, much clearer. (though if the Conservatives don't do as well as they would like to do, it may be the weekend and there'll be some horse trading going on.) LOL@...

oh we've only just started the counting of the votes. by around breakfast East Coast Time Friday we should know an awful lot more. Robinson loses Belfast East. wow. is this just because of the personal issues? DUP vote in North Antrim about as fucked on the swings as Lab in Houghton and...

cheers, haven't a clue what's been going on in Stoke either i must admit, but that is something.

i know they are absurdly split w Alby Walker defecting etc, in Stoke Central, but i had airily assumed their in-fighting in the Potteries might just (at the least) be enough to skittle them. but two consecutive 5% + shares that i wasn't expecting (tbh), i mean, good lord. Nick Griffin loves...

sober Beeb suits pointing out the BNP haven't quite broke through w their numbers is one thing but polling fourth, above Ukip, in two consecutive Wearside seats, is deeply, deeply dispiriting.
