Ah right I see belgian - one of the wards. Teeny turnout as well. Still upsetting though.

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:17

LOL

No. ALL I am talking about is the mayoral election (interspersed with a few London Assembly results).

Though the mayoral results are done on vote count, they are reporting them via Constituency as that is how they have counted them iyswim

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 23:17

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:19

Merton/Wandsworth
Ealing and Hillingdon

I'm sure we've got a spare mars bar somewhere left over from easter.

policywonk · 02/05/2008 23:20

Fox I'm imagining you in front of a homemade swingometer.

mrsruffallo · 02/05/2008 23:20

It's NOT all over then?
(Glimmer of hope)

STARANISE are you East London? You sound like you are planning my future life.

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:21

I'm imaging you in a fluffy bathrobe and a hot drink. Am I close?

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 23:21

what are people's thoughts on second votes? i'm thinking a lot more will be for ken, since they are the 'others' votes and therefore people who probably have more of a brain than to vote for boris.

seeker · 02/05/2008 23:21

See yon mars bar, scottishmummy hen, that's yourn!

scottishmummy · 02/05/2008 23:21

well stoap bletherin chuck in pan hen an any chips ye huve

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:22

god, that sounded pervy and I didn't mean it to

yes, I think the 2nd votes are going to be interesting. I wonder how many Paddick/Ken votes there will be as opposed to Paddick/Boris. Whaddya think?

onebatmother · 02/05/2008 23:22

weer al duuuumed.

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 23:22

big chuckle at the swingometer with dr seuss's fox in socks in front of it...

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:23

Merton in

Total votes counted are now:

Ken 37%
Boris 43%

onebatmother · 02/05/2008 23:24

I think you're right. Protest 1st votes to paddic, second votes to a politician Ken.

foxinsocks · 02/05/2008 23:24

2 left now!

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 23:24

definitely paddick/ ken. what % has paddick got?

staranise · 02/05/2008 23:24

unfortunately in the tory stronghold of SW London (pleasant and pretty though it may be). But DH is from the outer reaches of East Anglia and I hear that there are schools with places there so we may be heading east sharpish.

policywonk · 02/05/2008 23:24

fox. Nightie and cardi, very sweet wine.

Merry - I'm desperately hoping something along those lines too.

MerryMarigold · 02/05/2008 23:25

now. tell me how second votes go. do they just add on to the first votes. or do they 'decide' it?

scottishmummy · 02/05/2008 23:25

Merton!beyond Tooting - man that is deep sarf

onebatmother · 02/05/2008 23:26

WHY are people Tory? I have had a few glasses of wine now (sorry) but really, I just can't imagine ever doing that. What with my brain and all.
