Ireland's the only country which has gone left. One amusing detail in Spain though: Alternativa Espanola, the fascist party which has strong ties to the British Conservatives, managed 0.12%. Let's do the same to the Tories next time.

We're doomed to a miserable, reactionary, racist, capitalist future
I'm hating the election results. BNP won a seat (I won't be holidaying in Yorkshire/Humber, Lancashire or Stoke), the Greens haven't broken through, and WALES, of all places, has gone Tory: the country which had its language mocked and often banned by the Tories, the birthplace of Labour, the home of trades unionism and Chapel radicalism. I used to be so proud of Wales's previous status as a Tory-free zone. It's ashes now.

Utterly disgraceful. Whilst I try to defend my fellow Yorkshiremen, I cannot fathom where this BNP upraising has come from nor do I wish to.
This may be of interest to you, Vole.

I'm writing the first draft ending of the story and email it to yourself at some point this week.
This is getting really spooky now. I think you need to go and meet David Mitchell and sort this all out.
Maybe if you move out of your shit student house he will be simultaneously compelled to do the same.
Thanks for both, Demented. I haven't watched it yet, but I believe that Mitchell is listening to my thoughts and selling them as comedy gold.
