What happens now?
Parties have 7 days to sort out their MPs and form coalitions. I need MP lists from the party leaders as soon as possible as no-one will be admitted to the MP usergroup until I have a list from the party leader. You have until 9pm on the 7th April to form coalitions. For your reference, the rules on coalitions and governments are below:

Re: Post Election results and discussionWell done Libers! Gaining one seat is indeed a good achievement, especially seeing as our hated rivals the Socialists failed to gain.
Congratulations to Labour too, very surprising but the votes say everything. -

Re: Post Election results and discussionIf you're not prepared to resign then please do not call for our leader to resign if Labour come second in terms of votes / seats in the future. Thank you.(Original post by Rakas21)
I shall not resign.
This election if Maddog's figures take into account Metrobeans's PM'd votes did see a 1% rise for the Tories which we will continue to build on.
Well done to Labour. -

Re: Post Election results and discussionThis is by no means a victory for any party. Yes Labour clearly has more votes than the others but they will now have to give away so much that they hold dear in order to form a majority government. I suppose they could be a minority government but not much would get passed (although by reading comments on these forums they didn't try to pass much anyway). I felt this was a poorly run election campaign by all parties showing their true detached mindset much like real political parties. It seemed to be more of a statuesque battle than one for real change and improvement.

Re: Post Election results and discussionCongrats to Labour. However, I would like to add that, despite being a Socialist with no love what so ever for the Tories, I do not think that this result is representative of how they have performed of late in the MHoC. They have had impressive levels of activity under Rakas, who I also thought fought an impressive election campaign. I admire his abilities as a leader, and think the calls for his resignation are frankly ridiculous and to do so would be massively harmful to his party. Tonight's result, I believe, has been influenced very heavily by recent real life events and the disastrous and incompetent government in real life, which is reflected in the disappointing Conservative and, to an extent, Lib Dem vote, and unfortunately appears to have little relevance to what has occurred in the MHoC as shown by the fact that the Tories were widely predicted to win by MHoC members.
On another note, I'm pleased with the Socialist vote and retaining 7 seats, a historically high level for us, and wish to thank all of our voters

Re: Post Election results and discussionKnow I'm a junior member of the party, but I think I speak for Labour in saying well done to you too. The Lib Dems have been really active in the election thread(Original post by Morgsie)
Congratulations Labour

Re: Post Election results and discussionHis resignation was only called for because he called for david's resignation should Labour come second in the general election. No one called for his resignation out of their own head.(Original post by CLS94)

Does anybody know what the biggest winning margin ever is? -
