As this is a personal blog, and i am (unfortunately for me) a compulsively opinionated person, i have decided to disregard any attempts to appear unbiased. So if you are someone who favours the reinstatement of the british ruling class then you will just have to like it or lump it at this point.

Labour were never very big in the South East, but today they have lost 13 seats to the Conservatives, with only 4 still held. Lib Dem also lost 2, keeping 4.

So I would just like to salute my fellow Sotonites for keeping our fair city red.
