In 2 hours the count will begin. The odds are suggesting a hung parliament or the narrowest of Conservative victories.
Locally the Tory in Blackpool South has out-leafletted his competitors by a factor of 8 but still has to overturn a large Labour lead. In Blackpool North the Labour candidate Penny Martin has gone into overdrive with negative campaigning against front runner Paul Maynard. The Liberal Democrats have failed to exploit the sleaze in Blackpool South and have seemed rather distant in Blackpool North. I’ve seen no Liberal Democrat leaflets in Blackpool North at all but plenty of Labour and Conservative ones.
In my travels today I have seen busy polling stations everywhere, and I hope the turnout is excellent. With any luck the hangover in the morning won’t be Gordon Brown grinning at us from Number 10.
We’ve seen the Greek disaster and the new Government is ours to determine. There but for the grace of God go us all!

Today is polling day and I have had no leaflets at all from the Lib Dems, BNP or Integrity UK. I have had several Labour leaflets full of negative campaining and smears, several positive Conservative leaflets and a UKIP leaflet big on soundbites but lacking any kind of substance (like the candidate!!!). For the sake of Blackpool and the country get Labour OUT!!! MARSDEN OUT 2010!!! We need an MP who actually lives in the area and will fight for Blackpool.
loading...
Also come on Paul Maynard in Blackpool North, I think he will make an excellent MP, for the love of god Blackpool North don’t vote Penny Martin in, you will pay for it. A victory for Paul Maynard will also wind up Croysdill big time. I drove past his flat on Queens Prom the other day, drive just past the Miners Home and you can’t miss it, there is more Labour propaganda than Marsden’s office.

Who’s staying up to watch it?

I would do, I normally do but I’m working at 8 so I’ll catch up in tommorow’s Times.
loading...
Who did you vote for Phil out of interest?
loading...
Liberal

I did give Bell a second thought though because he is the only one that has been responding to questions from people like me and I have heard that he’s got involved – in the last few days – in a case helping a local hotelier who has contacted Gordon Marsden multiple times and received no response. Apparently there is a derelict building owned by an absentee landlord next to her hotel and the council have done nothing to enforce its maintenance. Not the first time fingers have been pointed at the council for deliberately neglecting the Foxhall area.
The Council didnt respond. Marsden didn’t respond. Bell did, and on the same day a notice was put on the building. Opportunist perhaps but still if he keeps that up he will make lots of friends, including me.
Shame about Kensington who are in the process of offering big cash payouts to the remaining home owners on Moss House Road in order to take ownership of the whole lot and begin construction. Maybe I will come to forgive Bell if he orders the council to Section 106 them into building proper infrastructure to go with their Noddy town.
loading...
I don’t blame you to an extent, I just felt Ron Bell was the best tactical vote to unseat Marsden. But TBH the result I most look forward to is Hamish, watching him make a fool of himself yet again will make my day. Hopefully now he will drop this silly campaign. I would bet money on saying he will resign from UKIP after the election.
loading...
I voted UKIP.
loading...
I don’t blame you Harold in your constituency, but as you know a UKIP vote in Blackpool South is a wasted vote, I wouldn’t give that pro-smoking socialist muppet my vote if you paid me. Roy Hopwood is a proper UKIP candidate, I wish him well in Blackpool North.
loading...
I fully agree TB,Roy is a good bloke, Hamish is not relevant, lol
loading...
libs would have been the best tactical vote.
loading...
I think it depends on the area. I have just seen a total lack of support for the Lib Dems in my area. I have only seen 2 Vote Lib Dem signs everywhere I have been and also I am not very impressed by the fact I have not recieved a single leaflet from them in the whole campaign. I just felt by backing them in Blackpool South I would be helping Marsden stay in.
loading...
Yeh I’m staying up all night and then work in the morning, so tomorrow night I’ll have an early night he he he

Look at this work of genius. Maybe Ed Balls will get his Portillo moment!

Absolutely classic, thanks for the link Phil, it summarises that slimy, smarmy little worm to a tee. He is from a very privileged background yet he is the frontman of Brown’s childish and pathetic class war, what a hypocrite. He is one of many Labour MPs that holds a constituency in a very deprived and working-class area yet has no connection with the area. He and his wife Yvette Cooper both hold seats in very working-class areas and they are never there. They both live in a swanky leafy London suburb visiting their constituenices once in a blue moon.
loading...
Ed Balls is a used slime infested tampon from Myra Hindley.
loading...
Sadly he didn’t – UKIP ensured that Balls’ main opponent didn’t get enough votes to turf out one of the most vile turds in Parliament. Well done, UKIP!
loading...
Yes well done indeed, this is party of the reason I hate UKIP they are just helping Labour by taking votes away from the Conservatives.
loading...
Didn’t you say you could see youself voting for UKIP TB?
loading...
Yes I did, but that was before they descended into a joke. Their leader (I am sorry to hear about his plane crash and I wish him well) has no credibility. But most of all what has really done it for me is this silly pledge to overturn the smoking ban, which is bad enough on its own but this policy has made UKIP a party for smokers and pro-smoking publicans like Hamish and that slimy Nick Hogan which I find really offputting. As soon as they announced Hamish as a candidate that was my vote gone in a flash.
loading...
not very high turnout! Blackpool N & C 55% Blackpool S 53.6%
So far Marsden ahead in South and Maynard in North
loading...
I think the intial announcement of turnout in BN&C was an error, was more like 61%, still low though
loading...
Marsden Holds Blackpool South!
loading...
Blackpool South hold for Labour.
loading...
Evening Jon, he he he
anyword on how Paul is doing in Blackpool North?
loading...
Hoorah, Paul Maynard has won
loading...
Yep, Gordon Marsden held on by approx 1.5K votes and Paul Maynard took BN&C by approx 2K Lib Dems seemed to be the Dog that didn’t bark.
loading...
I am shocked Marsden stayed in,but that useless, bent, fat cunt Bell who had sold out to Kensington gave it to him on a plate; I feel sorry for TB.
Well done Bell you dodgy fat fucker, you threw away a seat,giving to to another useless twat who doesnt even deserve a toilet seat, let alone one in westminster
Next time, try and work for the public interest and not scummy-twat kensingtons.
loading...
Shame really, all I can say regards Bell is “what if.. ”
Although saying that, the Tories only gained about 1000 votes. Labour’s vote didn’t seem to turn up – perhaps due to Marsden’s lack of publicity and campaigning because he thought he was a shoe in.
As for the Lib Dems, well, clearly nobody agrees with Nick!
loading...
Well said Harold. May I buy you a pint, out of my own pocket and not public expenses? http://fylde-bootnecks.blogspot.com/2010/05/at-least-we-didnt-get-dinger-bell.html
The truth about your friend is out there, and much on my blog. As the Gazette have a mystery deleter it is impossible to get open debate and we must thank Admin for this site. There is a whole trenche of former regular Bootnecks who will not go near the RMA because of the cabal of which Dingaling was a member. That letter (http://fylde-bootnecks.blogspot.com/2010/04/brown-gaffe-protects-blackpool.html) was written by a former Mayor as a result of politcal intrigue because I, in a private meeting, critisised Blackpool Conservative councillors for their inept and devious attitude towards members of the local Royal Marine Association. The next thing I witnessed was the likes of Councillor Heap getting a freeby to a RMA reunion at Lympstone, in Devon. All this whilst former Royals lived locally in poverty and deprivation.

At least Shithead malik, labours very own Islamic fundamentalist lost his seat (good riddance to Islamist scum) as did the incredibly inept Jacqui smith who couldnt manage to find her own arse with a map.
loading...
And Lembit Opik lost massively. Perhaps we’ll no longer hear about his improbable relationships with Cheeky girls and weather presenters?
Very happy Malik’s gone – I wish he’d never been allowed in. I always had severe difficultly with him being portrayed as an MP with integrity.
loading...
Don’t be cheeky…
loading...
lembit was a scum-toad, lol
loading...
I wrote and tried to talk to Gay Gordon when bent Malik insulted we veterans who has served internally, in Ulster. I was told it had nothing to do with him, Malik is just another MP. Then the filthy shit voted for more lads to get injured and worse in an illegal action in Iraq. Come on Gay Gord, get yourself a gun and meet me in the street and I’ll show you what your arse is for.

lo lol lol lol

Looks like some will need a new Rallying Cry……
Labour Out Marsden out 2011……
We will see another election within 12 Months. It aint over till the fat ladies sings…
Watch the other big story of the day the outbreak of financial Armageddon!!
loading...
Yup, full steam ahead for the next election. I can’t imagine it being particularly popular if Gordon tries to cling on in some banal coalition with Clegg.
loading...
During the debates didn’t Nick Clegg say he would talk first to the party with the largest mandate first if this situation happened? Labour’s potraying the situation we’ve always suspected that Lib Dems would always form a pack with them and they’re getting a mandate to hold onto power. I can’t stand another 5 years of Slimeball and his pathetic wife, Milliband the schoolboy, & Milliband the crosseyed and his environmental ways to tax the hell out of anyone actually earning some real money in this country. If Nick Clegg think’s he’ll be able to stand up to this lot of professional liars and sleeze merchants I don’t rate his chances.
loading...
He did. He also said the largest party should seek to form a government first. But that’ll all go out of the window once he gets a glimpse of influence.
I think it’s an absolute disaster that Labour and Lib Dems could end up being the Government, particularly since the Liberal Democrat vote went down!
loading...
They’ve been calling it a “coalition of losers” on the BBC coverage all night.
loading...
Well, it is!
But when you’ve got a financial crisis accelerating, you need to be able to get the countermeasures through parliament. Labour wants to do nothing and spend its way out, and the Liberals want to cut things like defence and make “savage” public sector cuts.
Doesn’t seem particularly harmonious.
Who knows, Vince Cable might end up being the chancellor after all. I hope he is and I hope he makes the savage cuts necessary.
loading...
In some ways though I hope they do form a LibLab coalition. There’s enough differences in their manifestos to ensure that nothing gets through, leaving the Tories as the only option for salvation.
Free tuition fees are gone for a start. All the quangos that the Liberals were going to scrap, well, they will remain. Third runway at Heathrow? Will that happen? What about nuclear power generation? Labour supports it, Liberals don’t. ID cards anyone?
loading...
Or how about the first 10k tax free? Wont be happening.
Only thing guaranteed is NI will go up.
loading...
Simple arithmetic suggests that a Lab/Lib pact still won’t cut it. They will not get to the 326 needed.
Unless of course they can bring in the SNP and a few independants!!
That however is a recipe for disaster given the various demands there will be.
My bet. Cameron will try and struggle on with the Ulster lot (still not enough) on a vote by vote basis till it becomes obvious they cannot get key legislation though then another election in 12 Months.
loading...
And private sector jobs will only be created by large foreign firms taking advantage of a very weak pound if they think we’ll be weak for a very long time to come. And if they’re wrong they’ll close up and go elsewhere.
loading...
Looks like Ed Balls was almost booted out with an 8.5% swing to the Tories in his constituency of Morley – he scraped it by just over 1000 votes. His missus Yvette Cooper suffered a 12.5% swing to the Tories but was still safe in her seat of Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford. Shame the swings were not reversed!
loading...
Why is it we have a first past the post system for the MPs then it’s a different system for the government? Surely we should have the party with the biggest number of seats governing and a new election only if they find they can’t get legislation through. Obviously not enough potential for political deals and underhand tricks to go for that option.
loading...
At the moment it’s Lib/Lab 298, Conservatives 290. Surely those that voted Lib Dem did it to keep Labour out as much as the Conservatives out?
loading...
Who knows, seems Call me Nick is up for coalitions with Call me Dave after a statement he has just made, although he would be a liar if he’s just jumped into bed with Peter Mandelson straight away.
loading...
Yep – just seen that too. Well at least he seems to be delivering on what he said which will be vital if the Lib Dems ever want to be seen as a serious party for power nationally. If only they didn’t want to be so much in Europe and absolve illegal immigrants.
loading...
George Galloway is out!
loading...
hooray!
loading...
Bad news Phil Woolas is back in.
loading...
Lib Lab potential pack need 22 out of 29 seats yet to declare assuming Conservatives don’t win any more.
loading...
Sarah Teather’s taken Brent Central off Labour. I’m glad – I quite like her if not always her policies.
loading...
I’ve heard that Lancaster and Fleetwood is due to declare very soon. Also, that the likely result will be extremely close and there is a very tense atmosphere in the hall. Maybe a recount or two will be needed…
loading...
Eric Ollerenshaw takes it with a 333 majority for the Conservatives
loading...
Surprising, I thought it would have been safe Labour. I know Dave has called for the Lib Dems to join them in Government but I can’t see it being a match made in heaven, so one wonders what they all fall out and another election is called!
loading...
I can’t see the Libs going over to the Labour side after all that has been said by Clegg
loading...
Also a Conservative gain in Morecambe
loading...
Am not suggesting anything in the slightest racist here but did anyone else notice a pattern in some of the inner city Labour seats such as Bethnal Green, Poplar and Limehouse, West Ham, Hackney South, East Ham and Hackney North….
They were all Labour holds but with INCREASED swings to Labour!! Now the fact they all border each other and have large ethnic populations I would go so far as to suggest the Electoral Commission takes a close look at the procedures employed within these constituencies. Given the allegations of fraud in the postal voting system!
Seems a bit odd seeing as the rest of the Country saw swings away from Labour.
The evidence is on the BBC website.
loading...
I agree Geezer 100%, of course immigrants will vote labour as labour is the party of the immigrant.
Cant get anyone to vote for you cos your policies are shite??
Easy!
Get immigrants in, forget British people.
Would liked to have seen a few UKIP/BNP Mps, sadly not.
Hopefully a Conservative government will reduce immigration, but its looks like another rerun in 12 months time, by which time London will look like Athens.
loading...
It’s not a case of “get immigrants in” – in these instances, the voters don’t actually exist. They’re completely made up.
loading...
Well I used to live in Blackburn and when postal votes for anyone came in there was enormous fraud (not that the police investigated it very much because anyone who suggests someone not white is capable of crime is racist).
They were getting large numbers of voting papers for non-English speaking wives (who didn’t know about it) and for family members that didn’t want to vote or couldn’t (don’t know if any were fictitious) and getting them sent directly to “community leaders” who got them all filled in the correct way (for Jack Straw). Good old Jack got his soap-box out whilst a Pakistani community leader told him they wouldn’t get “our votes” if he didn’t campaign against the Iraq war. I don’t think Jack was bothered – who else could they vote for their children’s benefits where 10 kids = loadsofmoney in your wallet. It wouldn’t have been quite so bad if the kids were given more than a chapati and a free school meal a day and hand-me-downs.
Now I have come to the conclusion that as fraud is endemic in Pakistan, should we really believe that people from such cultures will suddenly follow our ways when they move here and are encouraged to live together under multi-culturalism?
Labour knows about it, it’s just that as it’s to their advantage, they’ve done nothing.
loading...
Thank you Frustrated for defending my good name against those two obnoxious tossers on the Gasjet. I have been at work all day so I have only just read their crass comments and removed them, I have made a complaint to the Gazette because there is no need for such disgusting remarks. Thanks again.
loading...
A mix the good, the bad and the ugly really. I am furious and extremely disappointed Brighton Marsden has been re-elected, Blackpool will continue to suffer from the Liebour stranglehold. You will pay for it Labour supporters as we continue with a useless MP with no connection with our town. Fantastic news for Blackpool N and Cleveleys and Lancaster and Fleetwood. Well done Paul Maynard and Eric Ollerenshaw. I am delighted to see Martin and Grumpshaw are kept out. Jacqui Smith and Bill Rammell lost their seats, hooray but sadly Ed Balls clung on. I heard someone say Galloway is out, double hooray. Fylde and Wyre remained blue as expected. Hamish lost his deposit but gave UKIP their best ever vote in Blackpool South, why? But the worst result of all is that we are lumbered with a hung parliament. The only consolation is that the Lib Dems seem very reluctant to side with Labour. I can live with a Conservative-Lib Dem coalition, it is mildly more palatable than the alternative. The only good news in Blackpool South is that Marsden’s majority was clipped down to 1,800. He will go next time, justice will be done. I am just sickened at the thought of 5 more years of him. MARSDEN OUT 2011
loading...
A rather poor showing for the Lib Dems considering all the Cleggmania hype over the last few weeks. But like I say I was not very impressed by the fact I didn’t recieve one single leaflet from the Lib Dems, Integrity or the BNP. But I was glad to see Hamish got flattened and lost his deposit.
loading...
As you have already said Hanish gave UKIP there biggest ever vote best they can hope for.
loading...
Unfortunately yes, but he didn’t come close to winning and lost his deposit, good enough for me. I feel though it is not because he wooed UKIP supporters but simply because smokers voted for UKIP and they voted for Hamish, not for UKIP. Many proper UKIP supporters in Blackpool South abandoned the party when Hamish was ‘selected’.
loading...
Where is your evidence for that statement?
loading...
I don’t have any evidence I admit, but that is my estimate. Many proper UKIP members/supporters don’t like Hamish, and many resigned in disgust at his ‘selection’. Fair enough I can’t prove my statement but that is what I believe happened.
loading...
I would have done!
Multi cultralism is pc shite and TB will get justice in 2011!
loading...
I certainly hope so Harold, a very good result in your constituency, but a very sad day for Blackpool South
loading...
Ron Bell blew it TB,he handed that to GM cos of his relationship with kensingtons;he must not stand again, they have to get somebody different who is honest as well.I suspect we will be doing this again in 12 months.
loading...
I hope so Harold, another chance to get rid of Marsden and get a LOCAL MP who is NOT LIEBOUR.
loading...
Bell musnt stand again,somebody else.
We could still end up with a lib/lab government yet;this is a weird shituation!
loading...
The good thing is though, a Labour-Lib Dem coalition wouldn’t make a majority, there isn’t enough seats. Nick Clegg seems very uninterested in working with Labour. I am quietly confident there could be a Conservative-Lib Dem coalition and I hope so, I don’t Labour having any power.
loading...
Harold, do you really not like that fat, bovine, self interested piece of shite who deprived me, because of his party wrangling, to place my x on the party of my natural inclination?
I voted, against all instinct, for the little known Doctor for one word – INTEGRITY. Now I know for certain theat Kenilworth Dinger has not an ounce of it and that Liebering dirtback must have some sexual fetish where he likes to see decent straight young people come back from foreign lands with parts missing or in body bags, then deny the survivors a decent future by allowing frustrate lesbians greater compansation for hurt feelings than true heroes with missing apendages.
loading...
UKIP members abandoned them.. but Hamish has his own cult following.
loading...
Spot on Phil, that is basically what I was trying to say in a mangled manner, I like your expression.
loading...
are they fags?
loading...
I presume so Harold, I bet that obnoxious bigot Alfred Huckett is one of them. He is like most pro-smokers, he thinks he knows everything, when he clearly doesn’t. He got it into his twisted head I am a Labour supporter just because I love the smoking ban. When if he had actually bothered to read my comments he would see I hate that wretched party and I wish socialism would disappear.
loading...
I we saying that UKIP voters didn’t vote for Hamish but still he managed to increase UKIP votes? Or are we saying some UKIP voters said they didn’t like Hamish but still they voted UKIP and just because you dislike Hamish you decided that UKIP voters didn’t like him also. A bit narrow minded and sheep like.
loading...
I have spoken to friends who were UKIP supporters who furious about Hamish being ‘selected’ and abandoned the party and I have read blogs and forums discussing the dismay amongst many rank and file members about Hamish being forced on them. He is not UKIP material, he is not right-wing and eurosceptic. He is just a pro-smoking socialist.
loading...
No the local grass roots UKIP supporters did not abandon Hamish Howitt they rejected him.
The RO Fred McGlade (who stood for election in Lancaster/ Fleetwood and polled 2.6% of the vote) had bussed in more activists from other branches than Blackpool had ever seen before to try make his bad decision work. With that support any vote would go up, so the increase is nowt to do with Hamish.
Paul Nuttall MEP only polled 6% in Bootle, and everybody’s hero Nigel Farage came in fourth in Buckingham, it seems everyone abandoned him and UKIP. wonder why?
I guess we will not be getting out of europe this term!
loading...
Well said Bruiser, rejected is a much better word for situation. UKIP need to ditch all this pro-smoking silliness and return to proper UKIP values. Ditch Hogan and Howitt and select proper UKIP candidates not phonies.
loading...
Good old Gordon Marsden. You made my day. I couldn`t stop laughing at the thought of Trueblackpuddlian streaming tears and spitting his dummy.
Five more years of Marsden abuse to follow on this site maybe. But then again I just can`t see a Con/Lib-Dem Government surviving very long. We may all be voting again come next May or even before that.
loading...
Yes another opportunity to get that Brighton tosspot out and get an MP who actually lives in Blackpool and cares about our town. If you don’t like readng anti-Marsden comments then don’t come on here, this is right-leaning blog, so like it or lump it. MARSDEN OUT 2011
loading...
lol lol lol lol most eloquent TB!
loading...
The problem with TB`s theory is that the electorate will now know (think) a vote for Lib-Dem is wasted. Most Liberals are leftist, therefore around 75% of their vote will turn to Labour and Marsden will increase his majority and Lancaster & Fleetwood would produce a large Labour majority from a 300 deficit.
Keep the Red Flag flying here
loading...
Most Labour voters let alone those who are Lib Dem though are sick to death of the current Nu Labour set-up. Blackpool South could easily have become Conservative too had they not had a candidate mired in sleaze.
The thought that Labour would be forgiven just by appointing a new leader is as likely as me winning Euromillions. And most Labour voters are quite lazy – consisting of many that sit on their backsides all day claiming rather than actual working, working class (hence Mandy himself complaining about Labour voters tending to vote later in the day when people couldn’t get into the polling stations). Another election. Could they be bothered to turn out and vote or get to the postbox and register for a postal vote again? The Conservatives were less than 20 seats short. And North Cornwall where I have family could easily have been converted from Lib Dem if they’d used a local person instead of a Londoner being parachuted into an area sick to death of Londoners and their second homes ruining the place.

Liebers last act of sabotage has just cost us another £40 billion (£40.000.000.000) to bail out a discredited fiscal policy. Add that to the 40 year of subsidising France’s uneconomical farmers – I’m not attacking the farmers per se as I have fond memories of their hospitality and generocity, but their system is more base on charity than sound economical principles – and the woollie mindedness of the Lieber diehards is so typical of their appreciation of historical truths.
No matter how bad you think the political status quo is, in the morning the majority of us will wake up and go about our business oblivious to the rantings of a few communist zealots.
Now let us set about fixing the economy, the corrupt electorial system that allows scores of immigrants to corrupt OUR rare chance to speak openly, to prosecute all those whether in administative duty or blatant fraud for the damage they have inflicted upon the international standing of this once great nation. And give that real former Royal Marine a commendation for decking and kicking the foul shite who dared spit in his face because of his political beliefs and duties. Give him one for me, Royal.
loading...
In an ideal world all that would happen.
However I can’t see immigration being cracked down on to the levels that grass roots Brits want. Whichever way you look at it, all mainstream parties are scared of tackling immigration to the point where people that don’t exist are allowed to contribute at the ballot box.
loading...
well that leads the field open for ukip/bnp, and with the possibility of a PR system, that may prove interesting.
loading...
To be honest I don’t think Alaistair Darling did all that bad a job on this. And I was glad to see him trying to consult with the other two parties on what he was doing (he’s far better than Brown on all fronts). We aren’t bailing out the Euro as far as I can see – just providing the usual IMF funds if there’s a default which we do worldwide along with the other major world economies. If the whole Euro zone goes under we lose a lot of trade and will be in a lot of trouble ourselves.
