Humiliating Defeat for the Left in the UK: 'Gordon Brown Has Lost'

They can try and cling to power with a hung Parliament, and even that is based on some dubious exit polls. But be assured of this: Labour has gone down to a massive defeat tonight in the UK, and the new Prime Minister will be David Cameron.
David Cameron was set to demand the keys to Downing Street today after voters turned out in massive numbers to reject Labour.

The Tories scored their biggest swing against Labour for 80 years which, if repeated across the country, would give them an absolute majority with which to govern.

The exit poll showed Mr Cameron on course to gain at least 97 seats – the biggest advance in seats for 79 years.

To win a majority the Tories would need a swing from Labour of around 7 per cent – but early returns suggested they were doing better than that in many parts of the country.
Naturally the delusional leftists will try and cling to power, but their days are over.
But senior Tory sources said 'could not possibly expect continue in government' in any sort of power-sharing deal with the Lib Dems or other parties.

'We appear to have gained even more seats than Mrs Thatcher managed. Labour can't possibly expect to continue in government after this humiliating rejection. Having lost 100 seats, they are insulting the voters to suggest otherwise,' said one.
This is probably just a warmup for what's coming our way November 2, when Nancy Pelosi and Dingy Harry are blown away. At least then by our rules it will be a clear cut decision and the GOP will take over and make Obama null and void.

Of course as in the USA, the left in the UK lives in a fantasy world and can't accept humiliating rejection.
And Shadow Chancellor George Osborne said: 'Labour politicians need to get real. The idea that Gordon Brown and Labour can cling on to power when they've been rejected so decisively is frankly shocking.

'It's clearly a very uncertain time in world markets and Britain will need a stable and responsible government.

'I believe, looking at the exit polls, it's pretty clear that Labour cannot continue in government. I think they need to get real.'

He told Sky News: 'On the figures I have seen so far David Cameron has obviously won. He's preferred above all others in what has been a rather presidential campaign.

'Gordon Brown has lost.'
As to the absurdity of a possible hung Parliament, it would only further destroy the Left. They need to admit defeat, even if it's not outright.
Bill Cash, Conservative candidate for Stone, told the BBC: 'There is a huge amount at stake for the country.

'I think a Lib Dem/Labour pact with Miliband, Mandelson and Clegg would be a kind of Greek tragedy.'

Ken Clarke told BBC News that it was a 'certainty' that Gordon Brown would be removed from office.

He said: 'It looks as though there is a serious risk of a hung parliament but with the Conservatives not too far off and obviously the single biggest party.

'One certainty, I think, is that Gordon Brown has been removed from office. It would be a complete travesty if Gordon Brown tried to carry on as Prime Minister because he has plainly been rejected and lost all authority to govern.'
