Edouard Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Liberal Democrats finish their campaign in the Southwest where they have been having their best time, the Libdems want to secure the south to end a brillant and promising campaign for the party which however faced some difficulties in the final days, Liberal Democrats are however hopefull to come back strong in parliament and to now form a major party in Commons Charles Kennedy also concludes the campaign efforts of libdems in Scotland where he has been hoping to push Scottish to vote for Libdems to the best they can ! He arguments about the Libdems as the only major british political force to have fully backed devolution for Scotland instead of Conservatives who were against it and Labour who had been ambivalent. Paddy Ashdown makes a final tour in Southeast England where he meets voters and push for people to continue to vote for the Liberal Democrats, the party is in the hope to make big gains or even to become the first party in the south with a bit more efforts by election date. The Liberal Democrat campaign ends here, Paddy Ashdown gives a final speech to his supporters once the last meetings are organized, waiting for the BBC election night : My fellow liberals and democrats, it has been a pleasure to serve with you all along this campaign ! We have got excellent times and others more moderates, but overall we have met hundreds of thousands of people in britain and we have tried our best to make our message clear with voters. I am sure that from the 20 liberal democrats on the bench we will be more in next parliament, more than fifty, what is my promise to you ! I hope that our message has reasonnated enough so that we can be more, but only future might say. I want you to remain confident and to take a rest for the next hours and days, we will meet again after this election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally (3): Surprisingly, the energy that was once there just doesn't seem so energetic anymore. But the Liberal Democrats have placed tremendous effort here, and they are still likely to gain. Rally (8): Charles is a hit as usual in Scotland. Good for the final push. Rally (5): The Liberal Democrats have come a long way, and despite their resources being spread thin, we'll only know what truly happens on election night. It's going to be an interesting night.

Rally (7): Tony is well received, and adds some final momentum to the seat. Even if it's been neglected a bit by the Labour campaign. Rally (9): John is well received in Yorkshire. Rally (9): Tony picks his feet up once more! Rally (2): The Ad isn't received well as the War of Jennifer's ear fiasco continues. Rally (6): Kinnock does alright. Let's see if he can hold Scotland on election night. Overall: +8. Labour heads into election night with a steady lead. 2 hours ago, Dobs said: John Major will bring home the Tory pitch to the Working Class with a *major* set of speaking events.

Rally (3): The North West is just such a deep Labour country, Major struggles to bring new voters in this area. Influence (7): Thatcher hits the working class just as good as Major does this time! And boy, they like it. Rally (6): Major hits this former lean Labour area and draws more voters to the Conservative cause. Election night in Yorkshire and the Humber will be interesting. Influence (2): After a streak of good, Thatcher still struggles with the moderate voters. But her gains with the working class should balance it out. Overall: 0. After a massive surge the Conservatives stall right before the election night. Time will tell if the exit polls have it wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) BBC Election Night 1992 Coverage It is now election night in the United Kingdom. As the clock nears 10, we will be able to release the results of our exit poll which will give us quite the indicator of what is going to happen tonight. A week ago, we said a Labour landslide was likely, now, well... a Hung Parliament appears to be back on the table. What we do know is that turnout will be high. especially among the middle, and working class which were groups targeted heavily by both Conservative and Labour campaigns. With that said, you're watching BBC Nightly Coverage, and we'll be back with you at 10'oclock. And here, we go. 10'oclock. And our view is that this election will result in a Labour majority. Although, it has potential to be quite small, and even get into Hung Parliament territory. BBC Exit Poll 1992 Labour - 339 Conservative - 219 Liberal Democrat - 57 Other - 36 ------- @Fbarbarossa @Cal @WVProgressive @ConservativeElector2 @Dobs @Edouard @Hestia @Cenzonico @Sean F Kennedy @The Blood Stand by for election results to slowly come in by the regions you campaigned in. We will start in the North East. As that is usually where first seats come from. It's been a long ride. Good luck!

Edouard Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Liberal Democrat leader Paddy Ashdown follows results from the Londonian HQ. Libdems have more than doubled their number of seats according to exit polls, but they were hoping to do even more. There is no doubt that the party will keep Paddy as leader if Libdems come back in numbers in the House of Commons. However, he will have to leave the HQ to join Yeovil when the count will come and he will give his speech as party leader about the results in this occasion.

John Tyndall and Peter Mandelson are neck and neck due to what appears to be blunted Conservative momentum in the region, and the simple fact that vote split is occuring. Election officials are performing a quick recount of tonight's ballots. We'll be able to report more on it later on. --- Overall Parliament Allocation Labour: 27 (-) Conservative: 1 (-3) Liberal Democrat: 1 (-) SNP: Plaid Cymru: Greens: Ulster Unionist: Social Democrat: Social Democrat and Labour: Sinn Fein: Democratic Unionist: British National Party: --- @Fbarbarossa @Cal @WVProgressive @ConservativeElector2 @Dobs @Edouard @Hestia @Cenzonico @Sean F Kennedy @The Blood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
