Well the election results are in and two parties have made history. First Labour, winning with a historic third term. Labour have never won three general elections in a row, although this win was with a decreased share of backing votes, one of the lowest recordings for a winning party since 1951... Or something like that. I was incredibly tired when they started bringing out all the statistical data.
The other piece of history was made by the Greenpeace-style party, Respect. The radio kept playing Aretha Franklin before announcing that Respect had actually won its first constituency - in Bethnal Green. Its pretty amazing.
