    Looks like labour ground game was as big as clueless

    Oh no that great Spartan well of organised troops, the ground army, the better motivated soldiers they all made such a difference. After all as we have been told you have to have thactivists on the ground.

    Nigel Farage on ITV has just effectively said that UKIP are now an alternative party to Labour. A party for white working class bigots.
    I'm surprised he still has the nerve to wear his velvet collared camel hair coat.

    He then walked on and took no questions - which I take it to mean he has lost. IF he has lost and resigns then UKIP will change character completely.

    The problem for Labour is the perception they see all WWC people as bigots.

    In the WWC north east Labour seems to have clung on.

    Well yes, but it's something of a dead cat bounce - their NorthEast vote fell by 20% between 1997 and 2010, far bigger than falls in the South.

    I agree. My point is that it doesn't get more white and working class than the NE.

    Clegg can't stay as leader after this surely? If it isn't Nick who gets on well with Cameron, could it be seriously rocky if it is somebody like Fallon instead?

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! The Tories have won this election, haven't you heard?

    God the media are still obsessed by twitter and Labour winning the twitter war.....it is clear that it is just a massive echo chamber and the silent majority aren't spending their whole life looking at politics on twitter.

    If twitter was even a tiny bit representative, Labour would be on 50% of the vote share.
