Home Constituency
 

Hi,

Just been checking out the election on the good old Beeb.

Labour won my old constituency of Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath with a 43.6 % majority. Not bad. Our man is Gordon Brown so nobody else had a chance.

Will he be the next PM after Tony?

What's happening in your old constituency?

OK, going back for another look.

Sue :rolleyes:

Ribble South.

They are still counting. We are always among the last to get the numbers right (Maths isn't our strong point). :)

It was won by Labour last time out with about a 6% majority. We are on the Conservative list of targets (about number 55).

Honestly, I have not got a clue who my MP is/was. I'll have to wait and see. :)

expecting a change...but the votes haven't come through for it yet....but having said that, where I was registered to vote was somewhere else, where, to be honest, couldn't give a monkies about, rich ponces :D

Re: Home Constituency
 

Edinburgh South West
Its Tory target no 152 apparently.
Bit of a worry this one. It's a fairly mixed area, but predominantly middle class and leafy suburbs so could be a Conservative gain judging by the opinion polls.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Denton and Reddish - Labour hold but lost about 8% from last time.

Big shock is that Labour just lost Manchester Withington.... would not have expected that!

Re: Home Constituency
 

Warrington North Labour hold but 4.4 % swing to the Tories. Serves em right for not sending me my bloody vote.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Who'd have thought, labour kept Oxford East...bit of a surprise....didn't catch the other parts of Oxford....

Re: Home Constituency
 

Ribble South still hasn't finished counting. Don't they know I'm waiting up to hear the result... Selfish buggers! :mad: :)

Guarantee that we'll be last in the country!

Re: Home Constituency
 

Not finished counting in my local seat (Christchurch), but as it's a safe Tory seat i'm not going to worry about it. I'm just going to emjoy watching the BBC's coverage on their website, and seeing Jeremy Paxman ripping MP's to shreds. God, i'd love to see him go one on one with Dubya!

Re: Home Constituency
 

Game over. Labour Victory.

Did you all back the right horse?

(Still waiting on Ribble South though) :rolleyes:

Re: Home Constituency
 

Mid Sussex

Conservative, again.... but it is Nicholas Soames.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Colne Valley Labour hold, 3.4% swing to the tories, the MP there was signing on at the dole office where I used to work in Huddersfield when she got elected at the last general election so we had all the press there when she came in to sign off, anybody would have thought she was the Queen..

It actually makes me quite homesick not being able to watch it on T.V, I remember watching it when Blair got voted in the first time, we dragged the mattress downstairs so we could lie in bed and watch it, it was worth staying up all night to see Portillo's face when he lost his seat..

Re: Home Constituency
 

(Gorgeous) George Galloway and Paxman.

'ave it.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Obvious they would win it...bit surprised by how many seats they lossing though..

Re: Home Constituency
 

What about Kilroy Silk though, he get in? :D

Re: Home Constituency

Church of the Militant Elvis Party... I would've voted for them. :D

Well I've had enough.

*Boing*

Time for...

Re: Home Constituency
 

Fantastic....some of those party names are great...and people actually voted for them :D

Re: Home Constituency
 

Ann Campbell Labor, lost her seat in Cambridge to the Lib dems. Good!., Although David Howarth(sp) who won has been messing about in the local council for years if I recall correctly. Never liked Campbell.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Brecon & Radnor Lib hold & increase their vote by 8%. Guess I wasn't missed then.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Well Labour haven't held Altrincham and Sale West for ages, it's been safe Tory ever since Winston Churchill jr was our MP.

Graham Brady, the tory MP increased his majority from 3K to 7K.

Elsewhere in sunny Manchester, Labour lost Rochdale and Withington to the Lib Dems.

Tories number 1 target was Cheadle in Stockport, which was held marginally by the Lib Dems.

Re: Home Constituency
 

Antrim South. Rev William McCrea DUP. The gospel singing rev got it. He is nutbag of the highest order but as he was against David Burnside who i wouldnt piss on if he was on fire i cant really say i am that gutted. Hopefull he only gets one term. But looking at the DUP cleanup across Northern Ireland that a major worry now. Scary scary to see Paisley become so dominant in his lifetime. Oh well at least at 80 he wont get many years to be smug about it and then he gets his eternity of penance the evil old shit.

Re: Home Constituency
 

:D true blue Aylesbury stayed conservative they got 49.1% of the vote a 0.6% swing from liberal democrats. According to BBC Michael Howard is going to resign following the defeat dejuvu succesive labour leaders resigned in 1980's following conservative victories :D
