Yep, congratulations to the Tories on winning Rochester. I'm a natural Tory voter but felt that Ukip was the only party that represented my views. So be nasty about Reckless all you like, but just remember one day you might actually need the votes of people like me.
Enjoy today, I hope the next five years are as horrible as the five that followed 92. You all deserve it.
On a positive note from this campaign - Very glad that all the party leader’s spouses did their duty, but did not get too heavily involved in the politics.
So did any high profile Tories campaign in Hallam? Seems everywhere else Cameron went went Blue - one last favour from him before he dug the knife in to Clegg's colleagues?

Very gracious!
Hope the next five years will be as successful as the four after 1983.

LMAO. So gracious.
Reckless was a nasty piece of work. How nice to use the past tense.

Labour sent, Gordon Brown, Tom Watson and Owen Jones.

Politics isn't about winning and losing, it's about making a difference for the people who vote for them. Some Tories on here seem to forget that.
So in conclusion. All pollsters disastrously wrong, LD finished , UKIP going backwards, Tory majority. The SNP won the election for the Tories.
Cameron will have to now govern alone without allies and plenty of moaning over compromises with the SNP and Europe and a tough economy to come. Sound like Major in 1992 alright.
Good morning.
I can see the slim majority being a poison chalice for Cameron.

My thoughts exactly. I have crossed the rubicon from Conservative to Ukip during the course of the last parliament and, although I prefer a Conservative government to a Labour one, I can't see myself ever voting for the Tories again.

Could be, but after achieving it against the odds, perhaps he can manage after all.

What we need to remember is that vociferous posters and silver surfers do not necessarily represent the overall country. No offence intended at all (I mean that sincerely.)
Well that's no good, I'm off to work in an hour. I am actually really disappointed for the LDs (who I ended up voting for), even though I wanted Cameron to remain as PM (though not dependent on his own Right, which he now may be), and Balls losing would be an unqualified positive. Really don't like that man.
@SophyRidgeSky: Ed Miliband's team seem slightly in shock. He's now heading back to London... #GE2015
I'm going to have to go back and look at the thread earlier yesterday... some beautiful quotes we should save
Did you see that one earlier that someone who called this just about right on 20th April was told to go and see a psychiatrist. Haha this is very funny.
That now infamous Guardian front page (which was wrong on the day it was printed, let alone now) will have to go down in history along side the Sion Simon article.

I think they did. SNP MPs may now be powerless on the opposition benches and tire fairly quickly of turning up, particularly if EVFEL passed, and how can it not now?

John Major also achieved it against the odds. But we'll see.
There was a vast amount of nonsense about marginal polls - a large number of people need to re-think their 'analytical skills' over the next few weeks. Not least some of those on my side whose comments with every poor poll were cringeworthy to say the least.

No one is saying that they do. But Mark Reckless and a few million voters (albeit maybe not that many from the Tories) decided that Ukip represent them best. That's their decision and it should be respected.

I owe him some money.
Make our nights complete, come on the good voters of Morley and Outwood.
