Remember all the fuss about how the two-party dominance had finished?
Tory and Labour combined share of the vote was about 1% higher than in 2010.

I think you will find the Conservative vote was considerably higher, to compensate for the Labour vote being considerably lower.

Re: Share of vote
Nah that's not what happened ,both parties got more votes and an increased share of the vote in 2015.
Labour were butt fucked by the Jocks but this was outweighed by the increase of their share of the vote in England.
But as UKIP are finding out it's bums on seats that actually count not share of the vote.

Re: Share of vote
Nonetheless they are whinging about the relationship between share of the vote and seats.
In which case the fact that the two parties they aimed at increased their share of voters, so they have not made the inroads they claimed they would

The reason the main 2 increased their share of the vote was because Labour got ousted in Scotland, and the same thing happened to the Liberal Democrats in England.
UKIP went from 3% of the share of the vote to 13% share
To say they didn't make any inroads is beyond pathetic and into the realms of the bizarre, there are ostriches with their arses in the air that are more aware of what's going on around them.

Fucking hell, this is desperate stuff.
The reason the main 2 increased their share of the vote was because Labour got ousted in Scotland - WTF?
As for your kippers :-
The SNP stood in 59 constituencies and got circa 25k votes in each - a great success & 50 odd MPs
UKIP stood in 600+ constituencies and got circa 6k votes in each - an abject failure & 1 MP.
Summat about ostriches.

If they hadn't been ousted in Scotland their vote share would have increased more than it did.

Re: Share of vote
The only party to substantially lose its share of the vote (along with ‘minor’ losers such as respect & TUSC whatever that is) was the Libdems, losing over 15%. Labour gained a pathetic 1.5% of the libdems’ misfortune, - guess which party gained the most?Ralph wrote:the rotary club wrote:Fucking hell, this is desperate stuff.

Re: Share of vote
The BNP went from 500,000+ in 2010 to about 1500. I wonder which party that half million voted for?
Labour's vote share up a very healthy 3.6% in England substantially more than the Tories gain.
Oh and 'the people's army' 'success' was replicated in the local elections where they only took a couple of hundred seats out the seven or eight thousand available.

Them's the 'facts' arsey, as interpreted by those looking for comfort after the disaster of a few days ago.
Chin up, - only another 5 years of tory government
Did I read correctly that you've supported the TUSC party (whatever that is) in the past? How did they do?

Re: Share of vote
As I said you do struggle with FACTS Twanger, the above being a classic example.
Thirty sixth consecutive year of a centre right government actually.
Paul, the TUSC candidate I voted for in 2005 (?) lost his deposit. He still comes in the pub.
