** 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

btw who is that posted on my wall........have closed my list and can't remember who you are

oh fuck no it's worst than that - just looked again and realised that's the % gain they got - actual % of the vote for those 3 parties was 7%

just going to bed, well done for hanging around!

It has just been reiterated - Sinn Fein don't take their seats; they win, but abstain

sooooooo tired. want to wait til half way

Goodnight FiveOrange

Need toast now. Bet hereford will be ages.

flipping nora - Lib Dem have taken Redcar from Labour !

look!!! well done Lib Dem (And well done Redcar - that's real Labour territory up there!)

sooooo tired too. Have to do school run in bleuuuuurgh hours time. Think I'll sleep for one hour. Will set alarm.

Birmingham STILL on another Re-count

Cleethorps gone con!

Just gtot back up, my area was predicted for 4am - anyone know where I can find a detailed list so far? THanks

Lim Dems took Redcar ?!!

Woop for Redcar!

Blackburn had a slight swing from Con to Labour - and although BNP votes there still horribly high it was lower than previously

Lemonade here

Why Do I want to slap some of these tory MPs. so smug. looking at possible foreign sec bloke. Am scared at the thought of George Osborne.

yes they really did!!

mind Con took Stockton South....

Loved the announcement at Whitby - especially the jigging Jesus. Thought DC's speech was perfectly gauged with a nod to the injustice suffered by several voters at polling stations and then pointing out that the one conclusion to be drawn at this point is that the country is not happy with the current labour government and in particular GB.

Hearing that while GB would have the right to try to team up with another party to form a government, Clegg has said in the past that he would consider it immoral of him to do so if labour were defeated in a convincing way. So we may see NC and DC having discussions if the tories don't get their 326 seat majority.

Thanks for link tocc

Redcar taken by LDs on a 22% swing!

Don't worry, took my sorry ass (by which I mean arse, not equine) to the BBC website - got a great map there!

mind you I think the recent Corus closer probably played a huge part in that..........

Lim (?)

Ooooo predictions for a hung Parliament !

Sooo tired I can barely spell

Lemonade - that's where I linked to you numpty
