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

yes that's how I feel too.

I just had to look at local issues and see who was going to do what for local people.......and the then standing MP has had a good track record for helping his constiuents when they approach him with problems.......and he's a "local"....the only other "locals" up for election were racists........

toccata I'd hate for Labour to continue, but I'd hate to have Tories in power too. Lose/lose as far as I can see

I'm a feeling wierdly sick about it - I voted Tory, came down to looking at local issues and by all accounts (as MP's go) the Tory MP we've had during the last term has actually been very good........so I voted for him. Obviously it's not helping them gain a seat (because he already had it but a very slim majority - we're target no 10 for Labour) but still feel a bit ill at the thought of a Tory government

Goodnight Cartoose

makemeacupoftea · 07/05/2010 02:35

Is Lescester north west a bit of a hell hole by any chance?

Kaloki · 07/05/2010 02:34

Hemel has gone to the conservatives

makemeacupoftea · 07/05/2010 02:33

Weird quote of the night
"The Torys are gaining seats , but not ones that matter"

Stretch · 07/05/2010 02:32

Leicester North West has 3396 BNP votes

NoahAndTheWhale · 07/05/2010 02:32

Is going to be conservative I think. Although they are not winning some of the seats they would like to, but winning some they wouldn't necessarily expect to.

Well, I'm falling asleep here so off to bed. Goodnight everyone.

makemeacupoftea · 07/05/2010 02:30

I read a description by Lembit ex describing how she found him pukeing in the loo in his white underpants, in a woman?s mag in the GPs waiting room. Made me feel even worse.

caramelwaffle · 07/05/2010 02:30

hahahahahaaha Basildon/Thurock "X none of the above" stood as candidate

I knew some new cracking characters would emerge - worth staying up for

BNP over 2000 votes (unprintable word)

toccatanfudge · 07/05/2010 02:29

sorry no 11 now

toccatanfudge · 07/05/2010 02:29

toccatanfudge · 07/05/2010 02:28

Just have to pop in to say - oh effity shtitel it's not going very well is it?

FiveOrangePips · 07/05/2010 02:25

have lost the map on the beeb results page, grrr

caramelwaffle · 07/05/2010 02:24

Ooh Lembit "cheekygirl" Opik loses to conservatives Goodness

KillerCleavage · 07/05/2010 02:24

I'm waiting for Keighley. Not my area but about 30 miles away. Whichever party takes that seat has always got the majority in the election.

Bloody hell - Lembit Opik has lost his seat to the Tories!

NoahAndTheWhale · 07/05/2010 02:24

What has happened to the BBC's map? All the colour has gone.
