Just starting this so that we can all post our thoughts throughout the day.

My wish for today is that as many people as possible GO OUT AND VOTE.

I cannot vote as I have been living abroad for over 15 years so if anyone wants to vote for me, I would like to vote for Gordon Brown. Voting by MN proxy

BBC reporter Danny Carpenter in York says hundreds of postal ballots have gone missing in the city. The problems are being blamed on a printing error and a temporary closure at the local postal sorting office. In York Outer, the Lib Dems had a notional majority of just 203, meaning the missing votes could have a significant impact and pave the way for a losing party to challenge tonight's result in the courts.

Oops!

kaloki - you should try being over here, really irritates me - if you're a prod you vote one way, if you're catholic you vote another way.... arrrggghhhh

That really quite angry woman the BBC keep interviewing in Sheffield reminds me of someone - an actress i think .....

This isn't really going to help voter apathy is it? With people not being able to vote

chilli cheese bite anyone??

melpomene · 07/05/2010 00:40

No, BBC website says the 'green' seat is sinn fein in northern ireland. Green on the ticker represents all other parties.

Kaloki · 07/05/2010 00:40

So.. as far as I can tell from the woman talking, no one has reexamined the voting since the suffragettes?! Eh?

DreamsInBinary · 07/05/2010 00:39

Sorry knockraven - Lab 3, Sinn Fein 1

BBC have added a seat coloured green to their counter. Nothing shown on TV - which is that one then?

melpomene · 07/05/2010 00:37

Nothing on BBC yet about Edin South - website says estimated declaration time for that seat is 3:30:00 AM

DreamsInBinary · 07/05/2010 00:37

BB ticker now showing Lab 3 Green 1. Brighton? Nothing online.

iamfabregasted · 07/05/2010 00:36
