    Southam is right. Tomorrow we wake up, and there is a Conservative England and an SNP Scotland. If the Union is to survive, there needs to be a new constitutional settlement. After the party, the hangover!

    It is important to note that while Red Liberals did go to Labour, "blue" Liberals went to the Tories to shore them up.

    The Liberal Democratic party is finished.

    Will we have a Union at the end of 2020 ?

    Astounding result in Wrexham.

    Kippers stopped a Tory gain - this could be a theme in a number of seats and prevent DC from having an otherwise solid majority.

    Without Farage on the scene, they may well now crumble.

    You're assuming UKIP took votes only from the Tories and not Labour. Results from tonight already suggest the theory that UKIP are just purple Tories should be consigned to the bin.
    Yes, I think you're right.

    The vote is fragmenting all over the place and churning in complex ways.

    What I thought was an unfocussed and changing campaign from Lynton Crosby and CCHQ may well have been precisely designed and targeted at each of these groups.

    It's certainly not as simple as "don't trust Labour on the economy" IMO - voters seem much much more savvy now.
    Of COURSE you were too left wing. Economy growing, unenployment falling, inflation low. Etc.
    I may not have posted here for five years or so, but I'm not left-wing.

    What's really screwed the Libs is how poor Labour are. People pushed to the Tories by fear of Ed.

    Could individual voter registration done the Tories a lot of favours?
    You mean, got rid of all the fraudulent and imaginary voters. Maybe.
