Re: Thursday 7th May
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.

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.

Re: Thursday 7th May
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.
