I don't think you can really count the referendum. It was presented as a loaded question and didn't give an option for PR. There was very little in the way of educating the electorate about how AV even worked. Its a different story now. How can Cameron have a mandate in Scotland where the SNP...

Thats 65% of those who voted there's also 35% that didn't vote at all so the actual % of the voting population who voted Conservative is even lower. How many of those that didn't vote would have voted in an alternative system where their vote counted for something?

Osbourne has borrowed more than every Labour chancellor in history combined!

Milliband might not last the day either. Labour HQ are pulling their MPs from media commitments, speculation is that they're being called in for Milliband to tell them he's done.

You're all lightweights! I guess the question for the Lib Dems now is can they ever recover from this? They're losing their deposits left right and centre and coming 4th and 5th. In Castle Point they got 80 votes. They might have expected it to be bad but they wouldn't have imagined it being...

Was the only one in mine.

There was a lot of talk of Farage running in my constituency as it was seen as very winnable. To be honest I think he would have won easily here.

But you get a flag ;)

If the early results are anything to go by Lib Dems are fucked. In this day and age is there not the technology so we can have the results a lot quicker?

My wife works for the NHS. The department she works in can directly attribute a large increase in deaths over the term of this government to massive cuts to their budget and loss of approx 50% of front line staff. They found out a couple of months ago they were all losing their jobs as their...

Apparently the exit poll is 22K people, last time round turnout was just under 30m wasn't it?

I would imagine it depends how you're defining bad for Scotland and if you're Scottish or English! Would not be surprised to see the issue of independence rear up again if the exit poll is anywhere near accurate on the SNP performance.

It was the owners saying that. Pretty much no one believed them of course. And while we were constantly being told by CCC and Higgs that ACL was doing perfectly well without the club the expectation was it would remain owned by CCC and Higgs until the club had new owners. As for Wasps being the...

Wouldn't have to be from Labour, if its that close the power of the minority parties such as UKIP increases as they can tip the balance. The other possibility is that they are a government that can't get anything done as they don't have enough seats to put anything through parliament. In that...

Didn't know that. Hopefully he's going to take it easy, a 9 hour TV shift can't be ideal in those circumstances.

There's no way Nick Robinson is making it through to 7am, his voice is fucked already!

It can't be right surely? How could they possibly have won more seats than last time with the state the country is in?

You can call it whatever you like its still debt and its debt that exists as Wasps don't have the money to pay upfront. Having only recently rolled into town you may not know that for most people the biggest concern around SISU gaining ownership of ACL was that they couldn't pay for it outright...

Well they've just created a £35m debt, in large part to pay back loans from CCC, Richardson and Close. They have at least a further £10.3m of debt and the CT article also states they will need to take out more finance for the training ground. So that's at least £45.3m in debt plus whatever debt...

Think the 15 - 20K range would be sustainable. To get above that we'd have to create a buzz with some decent signings and have a good start to the season. Get to easter and be in the play off positions and its not unimaginable we'd be touching 30K. I guess its the plus side of going downhill for...
