Would the LibDems support a Labour government?

If Labour can get 250 (I know that could be a big if)
SNP 58
plus Plaid(3) and Green(1/2), that's 312/313. With 10 LDs that's 322/323 - 323 is enough for a majority.

Glad to be of service. Looks like black humour is my defence mechanism this morning.

Getting sick at the thought that Soton Itchen might be gone.
Appreciating the humour. Sorry about Soton Itchen.

Preseli Pembs stays with the Tories - Crabb rides on. Majority about the same. We had 2 new parties / candidates this time around - Greens and Chris Overton Independent. Their combined vote share was about the same as Crabb's eventual majority over Labour. So stalemate.

Yep, real squeaky pants moment – although they didn't seem to need any recounts, there. How close can it be in Bury North to be on the second?

Hey look! At the Uxbridge result. It's the other Monster Raving Loony guy, Deputy Loon, I guess, in the white suit. Alan Hope, I think he's called. In charge since Sutch's passing.

Oh, Rebecca I am so very sorry, and you and Mr Riots worked so hard.

What a bummer, those votes would have helped kick out a very nasty piece of work.

Rupa Huq (Lab) has won in Ealing Central & Acton (which might have been mentioned above)

She is the lady who was manhandled by Boris' minder, last week, whilst trying to ask Boris a question.

Hope got 72 votes and rousing applause, as he should. MRL are an example of good cheer and fair play in this dirty old game!
