Here's one prediction www.predict09.eu/default/en-us/state_analyses.aspx#united

Cheeringly, it reckons that the BNP won't win a seat. Here's hoping.

very poor reporting of North West districts. I've found results for only 15 out of 39, but apparently 35 or more have already declared.

Lol 'In Vino Veritas'. Not a big Kilroy fan then.

E Mids not so bad. straw clutching

BNP in Yorkshire only went up by 1.8%. Labour fell 7.5%. That was what let them in.

Election is cash bonanze for Far Right: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8085850.stm

I wish they would declare the south-west - I want to go to bed.

Tell me about it, Lady Glencora - is that Poole or Southampton? OH COME ON!

SW going to declare soon epithet.

BBC predicting that BNP will get two seats - guess that means one in the NW [fuck noooooo]

Yes SG - ex-Labour voters who stayed at home should be ashamed of themselves.

LadyGlencoraPalliser · 08/06/2009 01:04

Poole. Come ON, FFS.

How's Plantagenet, btw?

EightiesChick · 08/06/2009 01:04

South west declaration 'expected shortly' but nothing about the NW! Will have to go to bed. Wanted to see if my Green vote would vanquish the BNP. [fingers crossed emoticon]

Latest from Wainwright in the NW: 'Uncertainty reigns Four areas still being sorted and all talk is of a few hundred votes making the difference: 3 Tories? Or 1 BNP or Green'

Waiting for SW too

LadyGlencoraPalliser · 08/06/2009 01:06

Fine thanks. He's out canvassing for the Liberals in Barsetshire.

When is that Norwich North by-election? Should be interesting...

EightiesChick · 08/06/2009 01:07

Never thought I would say this but I'll take an extra Tory MEP any day if the alternative is a BNP one (shudder). Still hoping the Greens can pull it off though.

epithet · 08/06/2009 01:09

Good man! Barsetshire is a key territory, I hear. Jeremy Vine indicates that his efforts are wasted (no sign of any BNP thing going on though).

WetAugust · 08/06/2009 01:12

Also waiting for the SW - I'll be a zombie at work tomorrow morning
