Ah yes, the darker side of democracy. I wonder why they don't call it the "British Nazi Party" and be done with it.

Now that is a flashy map! Just a pity you can't see any detail at the default level. Sunderland result is in, it's on the map, but you wouldn't see it if you didn't already know.

Damn straight.. we've got Clare Ward for another sodding term (oh joy) can't see the results of by how much though.

You look at the landscape around though, it's changed from a primarily Red area from last election to Blue this one (blue being conservative) That is one hell of a change.

Sounds like it's time for some Bob Dylan!

Fantastic. We now have a government that only 36% of voters elected. So, 2/3 of the people that give a damn don't want them in power!
