    could be very close if current declarations are a barometer. Labour not gaining anything and even losing swings to the tories in safe labour seats like Wrexham. Dont forget also that, although the official majority target is 323, in practise it is only about 320-321 because Sinn Fein don't take their seats.

    7/1 down to 7/4 in the betting for a conservative majority....

    Gonna be a bad 5 years, unless you live in Scotland.

    The Labour party need to get their act together & look at the SNP & realise why they are going nowhere.

    Voted Green myself, as their policies are way better than anything Milli**** & his mates came up with. Ya get what you give,

    Well done SNP.

    If it is a Tory majority then Scotland will suffer, the SNP's annihilation of Labour means nothing, they might have 56 seats but they'll have no power.

    I particularly like the key green policies of not been able to keep rabbits in hutches and making it illegal to keep monkeys as pets

    Looks like they'll get 329-330 so a small majority

    In practise 324 is a working majority becase there are 4 Sinn Fein MPs who dont take their seats.

    I dont pretend to understand Northern Irish politics because I can't fathom why you'd vote for a party that openly states that they won't go to Westminster and do their job of representing their constituents interests.

    Is this a joke?

    This isn't:

    "Samantha Cameron is the elder daughter of Sir Reginald Sheffield, 8th Baronet[3] (a landowner descended from King Charles II of England)"

    Plenty, though it's a country where power is concentrated among oligarchs and the populace are fed a whole pack of lies about how those in power deserve to be there. Debt slavery and labour uncertainty keep dissent in check and financialisation maintains the illusion of prosperity.*And the main TV channels are all like Murdoch on steroids.

    Haha, I think it unlikely! Besides, I'm on a proxy server at the minute as I was watching the horror unfold on BBC last night. Let's be right though, even if they did read what I put, I could just claim that I was describing Britain under Thatcher or Cameron.

    The speaker doesn't vote either. Completely agree about Sinn Fein but nothing surprises me about politics in Ulster.
