anyone watching the channel 4 version?
better than the actual by far
btw i wouldnt take that exit poll seriously, theyve 'revised' the figures
how the fuck does that work?
cant really take it as a legitimate representation of the actual figures if they have to alter it.

Channel 4's been quite funny so far.
Surprised by the huge drop in support for the Lib Dems (if the exit poll is to be taken seriously). It's gonna be a close one.

Yeah likely but whether the Conservatives will form a minority government or if Labour/Lib Dem will get enough seats to form a coalition is the big question.

this is why i hate the parlimentary system, Tories get 9,948,310 votes and 286 seats, Labour get 7,899,678 votes and 236 seats, Lib Dems get 6,269,631 votes and ONLY 51 seats. WHAT THE FUCK! Such bullshit. It's always been such a shit and weak system, needs to be changed.

Lab + Lib = NO DAVID CAMERON!!
After what happened to our economy last night, I actually reckon we'd do well to have Brown around....I don't like him, but he's got more experience than anyone else [with economy and such], and that can only be a good thing...
I don't really understand why (it seems) half the country don't care about politics, but just want Brown out...he isn't that bad. Cameron and the Conservatives would most certainly be worse..and with a Labour/Lib Dem coalition gov, Lib Dem might actually keep Labour in check...
Anyway...queue Cameron coming out in the most smug way playing the whole "We all know I won, just give me my prize won't you? The other two are just big fat LOOOOSERRSS and I want my trophy...GIVE GIVE GIVE". C*nt.

might not be as simple as that because you need 326 seats to lead outright. but lab + lib doesn't equal 326 right now (with still 37 yet to be announced). will need support from other parties like snp, plaid, etc. but they prob won't.
so it may be a con minority government. which
may not be a bad thing.....
it will mean that each decision that is made in parliament has to be debated and argued seriously in order to make any decision as the cons need support from lots of other party members.
making it hard for tories to pass any fucking stupid selfish law

True...That'll be the only way a Con gov will be anything less than hell.

Watching i was so surprised by the lib dems i thought they would get a gain similar to the torys but yeah, even though theyve lost 10 seats so far theyve got a gain in votes, 6 million roughly, labour has got 8 million with 5 times as many seats, i guess their votes are just thinly spread and arent really making an impact.
also any1 see david camerons wife?

plus points of the night - Jackie Smith getting the heave ho[yes it was to a tory I know

]
- Griffin's mob actually getting a smaller share of the vote than last time round

.
Otherwise it's been a fuckity-fucking disaster,best hope now is some sort of reform coalition as posited by Magma.Really really surprised the lib dems performed so poorly too

.
