So, it looks like Boris is going to win.....

Boris Johnson.
How the feck did that happen??

Hoping the BBC are just joshing with us...

378239 boris
343770 ken

(that's with 5 out of 14 constituencies counted apparently)

Effie, I love 'was votes' it will be my phrase du jour

Coming late to this but did anyone see teh Tony Travers interview?

Not looking good for current LA employees

it does sounds a bit yokelish

yeah, fox, do you have a 'secret source'?

so how are they working out the 1st choice and 2nd choice thing again?

fox, where did you get that stat?

Merry - as the minor candidates are eliminated, their voters' second-choice votes get reallocated to the relevant candidates until only two are left standing.

oh thanks, policy. i guess my second vote was worthless then...

foxinsocks is not spilling...

Apparently the final count won't be until midnight.

I can't wait that long (started on the wine ages ago thinking it would be at 6)

Oh god, if Boris gets in I'll be so miserable. I used to come across him in my job (before DD was born- when I used to do high-falutin' things in parliament and not just sit on the sofa all day covered in baby sick). He is one of those tit-staring types. Not Good.

Also I can't believe people have fallen for the idea that he is an amiable buffoon. He isn't, he's a lying shagger without a single coherent policy. Even Mr newt-fancier looks good next to him.

ARRRRRRGH what is the world coming to? And if they get rid of bendy buses how the hell will I get the buggy on the Number 73 when there are always three of us jammed up?

Lambeth - carpe cutler! (seize the knife). It's not quite Dead Poets Society but stabbingly relevant

Lewisham and Greenwich, 6th constituency in, Ken 63043 Boris 51151
(1st preferences....on Sky at the moment)

I'm amazed how many Boris voters are there in what is not a v tory area

Boris still ahead

love it, bluewolf!

WILL PEOPLE PLEASE STOP POSTING AS THOUGH THE RESULT HAS COME THROUGH

where did you think you saw it confirmed?cant find it definitely confirmed -lots of Yes maybe

LOL at Sky news. You're talking to a bunch of lefties, fox. We won't have Sky in the house.

wobbegong, i can just imagine him as the 'tit staring' type. really, i can. and really not good.

so, it's only first preferences being covered at the mo...by Fox, who is the only one with Sky.

I can't fucking believe it! Boris really has won!!'

I read this and thought that they had announced that he had won.

we have the wires up .

Policy, you utter anti ponce you .

2nd counts only counted if the 1st counts aren't enough to give one person victory (I think, not sure, this means if one of them hasn't polled 50%)

okay.i thought you had a whisper

Is it on bbc news 24?!

fox, "Lewisham and Greenwich" includes non-Ken bastions such as Lee and Eltham, I'd say loads of those Borisites were in the Greenwich half of that constituency
