And in other news Nigel Farage is back as leader of Ukip after the party's NEC unanimously refused to accept his resignation.
He will be centre stage over the next two years leading opposition in the referendum debate and rightly so - to achieve four million votes in the face of unprecedented media bias was a remarkable achievement.
Compare London to Birmingham when it comes to transport, business, architecture and connectivity. Then come back to me.
I'll come back to you right away.
London has been one of the Capital Cities on this planet for nigh on 100 years, if not longer.... and as such will be way ahead of other areas in the UK. Yes, we have a centralistic government and I don't necessarily disagree with the idea of a Federal model. I for one would like for the counties to have greater autonomy and maybe even decide their own level of income and sales tax, for instance.

The difference with Scotland alongside political differences there's a general anti-English sentiment there.
You got it Sonny, and as Scot I'll tell you right away that those anti-english sentiments far, far outweigh any political reasons.

So all in all, the worst possible outcome for the left.
Tory majority government. Impotent SNP in the north. A wave of resignations in the other major parties (Clegg out, Miliband out), Labour projected to be in the wilderness for 10 years and Farage back in the driving seat for UKIP with 4 million voters backing him.

Yup.
Kinda explains a lot of the vituperation on here.
Though the group breakdown might be overdone. If the economy had been worse, perhaps voters would have blamed the party in power (so Conservatives) and it would be a very different result? Surprised that many UKIP voters were former Labour supporters. I would have assumed they were almost all former Conservative voters.
