If I wasn't so stoned I'd be in tears.
This is the end of the Union, the end of a collective view of the welfare state. England has clearly voted for increased cruelty and not being a fan of cruelty I think I'll head back north of the border.
I wish you could all come with me.

Have to admire the Lib Dems keeping some sense of humour as in this tweet.
Nicholas Watt @nicholaswatt
One @LibDems source: we will do better than 10 but not looking good. We can repaint @HarrietHarman minibus yellow + fit in our MPs

No thanks Sky, I'd be too angry with the Nats who are helping deliver Cameron back to Downing St.
Come to Wales instead, a Labour government here, and results show we haven't caught Nat fever.

But results show a worrying Ukip trend. The BBC Wales interviewer even asked the Plaid rep - don't you find it worrying that the Party of Wales isn't polling above Ukip in Wales?

I'm going to try and get a couple of hours sleep before the kids get up and I have to take them to school.
It's been a very disappointing night, good luck to those staying up and those just getting up.

I noticed Clegg thanked the residents of Sheffield Hallam. As opposed to the student population, presumably. Should've thanked the tory tactical voters as well.

Thanks for the totals.
Looks as if we can't blame the Greens for splitting the vote, only 2.9% at the moment.
