Tony Blair wins a 3rd Term
Well According to those watching closely on the Cpfc bbs, Tony Blair, has won a 3rd term in office, with a much reduced majority. Does this affect anyones decision to Migrate. Are the Tories really that Impotent these days ?
Is there also a possibilty that there will be a strong(ish) moslim party coming out in 4 years time ?

Croydon, has stayed labour,
and the Lib Dem's vote has collapsed across the country.

Re: Tony Blair wins a 3rd Term
Isn't it amazing the way the BBCs website is always unavailable at critical times!
Just tried logging on to it, and its down. They really should get a few more servers in to deal with peak demand times.
Anyway, I was watching BBC world, and going by their exit polls, lib dems are at 22%, and gaining quite a few seats from labour, not exactly a 'collapse'.
Cheers,
JTL

Currently only one constituency has declared its count, namely Sunderland, which Labour won. (Current time 22.20 GMT)For people wanting to keep abreast of the results as they come in go here:

Right, that's it! I'm emigrating!
Great! They can grapple with the Tories.
Sorry, Ozzie - no sensible answers tonight. I am so bored with listening to all the drivel from politicians! Thank God it's nearly over.

Read the News of the World on a Sunday - you can always get the latest low down on the sex life of Tory MP'S. They seem to be performing well enough.
Is there also a possibilty that there will be a strong(ish) moslim party coming out in 4 years time ?

Re: Tony Blair wins a 3rd Term
Don't care who steers the ship, its still taking on water and going down. And until they find a UK politician who can say Non!! to the US and No!! Brussels what's the point? And if calling them a bunch of hoity toity la-di-da elitist fops makes me a racist, I don't care!!!
And Non I'm not going back to Captain Blair and the good ship England.
C'mon you Reds!!

Re: Tony Blair wins a 3rd Term
I've just got home after presiding at polling station and delivered my ballot box for the count.
I'm not making any judgements until the count has taken place should be getting into it now. However, at my polling station alone we got 70% votes, which is double the votes of the same polling station at the last election.
Think that tells me something.
