Labour HOLD Sunderland Centeral, a Conservative target seat

Could you explain that to me? If Labour have a majority, why do the conservatives get a seat.

a target seat, is a seat a party thinks it might gain

ah lol Misunderstood it.

I like Sunderland now, they seem to be extremely fast at counting and they all want to support the worker.

Also, did you hear those people boo the BNP? I mean I don't like them, but come on, have some decency.

I thought the "Who are you?" chants when it was announced Labour had the 19k votes were worse.

And then the cheers and laughs hen it was known they beat Conservatives.

 

Nothing like rubbing it in

Sunderland Central definitely wasn't a Conservative target seat....

It was 50% Labour and 24.5% Tory in 2005.

according to the BBC, Cameron was hoping for it because of boundary changes that benefited the Conservatives

Your opinion is fine. I feel the same way about the green party. I consider it a first for "winning" as I guessed they would get more votes than the green party.

Maybe my first politial prediction guess over the political heavyweight that is ScFI
