** Official MN Election Night Thread - let's hold hands and wait together **

[MmeLindt]

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

You couldn?t put a fag paper between it, Dimbly looking distressed. Bitey fist.

Lewes got Lib Dem, knew they would

morning all.. just finished feeding the boy, now fast asleep.. what happened the lib dems????????????????????

Where did Labour just get those few seats from?

Bitey fist haha Love it!

I found it hilarious that the little Englander UKIP candidate in David Cameron's constituency was called Nikolai Tolstoy.

My brother's constituency has a candidate "Monkey the Drummer"

Think I'm going to have to disappear. My bloody dongle thingy has picked the worst ever time to play up and I'm having to reconnect every 2 minutes.

Night night ladies, I'll be following via BBC.

I'm still waiting for mine to come through.............

Lib dems not managing to get as many seats as they hoped.

Lib Dems did'nt translate good PR into votes at the booths as much as everyone expected

argh. result from seat I've been canvassing in not expected until 4am... that's 5am over here. Don't know if I can hold out...

Lib Dem Target Seats (still quite a few to be declared yet)

their key defence seats again still quite a few to be declared

Hooray - mumsnet back again

My seat stayed conservative. Not exactly surprising.

Ooooo We're back!

The systems appears to have been thrown into turmoil by people voting.

Annoying timing there! lol

My result's not due in until 5.30, but I think it's probably a foregone conclusion. It's been Tory for years.

Off to bed I think

(sorry didn't mean to post twice)

welll

My vote certainly counted. There were 600 votes between Con/Lab last time round....

This time my MP ( that I voted for) had a majority of 11,787 - a swing of 10.8% from Lab to Con.

Interestingly the Lib Dems have picked up quite well round here (they had about 11% of the vote last time round with 40/40(ish) for the other 2)

This time Lib Dem got 17% of the vote, Lab 25% and Con 48%

rather worringly BNP, UKIP and English democrats between them racked up 5% of the vote and BNP's figures are up 3% from last time round

Carlise, up now, oh my god the BNP vote, I use to live there for years, jesuse, con gain

What would your dream team be. Pm, chancellor etc

I think the polls were underestimating shy Labour voters.

Shit isn't it Toccata? At least they have no seats!
