Valiant and proud lefties election night thread

[MarionCole]

I'vve created a new thread for those hiding behind the sofa here

Low turnout. Perhaps many did not bother because it was seen as a safe seat. So the radical and independent candidates get votes cause their voters are keen.

Signing in -v worried by swing in Sunderland-predicts wipeout.

I thought

"sian lloyd looks different"

ladyblabla The imposting sian lloyd was very nice though and could teach her gurniing collegues some valuable lessons in restraint I feel

DH says exit polls have been very accurate for the last few elections. Please not this one

Just want to wish you all a not too traumatic night. I can't take it. Going to feed the baby, go to bed, and pretend it's not all happening (also just been avoiding the news and watching Mad Men for a masterclass in 'pretending it's not happening' courtesy of Betty Draper).

Where is Miliband? Writing his next challenging article to The Guardian?!

WTF with the BNP? How is it possible that they are getting these votes?

New candidate and a boundary change though in Sunderland, so bound to affect it a bit.

What impact would the boundary change have on the vote?

WillSelf created new thread above

i'm still here. had to go wash the dye out of my fugly hair.

Just had inside steer from (I think) well-informed contact that news is in reality better for both LDs and Lab.

Might all be bollocks but thought I'd share..

sunderland a v odd place, am not that surprised by bnp support tbh

BBC website says "former libdem leader Neil Kinnock"

onebat, i do hope so, but how on earth do they know? is there an electoral officer secret grapevine?

NEW THREAD

That BNP vote wasn't massive or that significant. Combined with UKIP not great but they want far more than 1000 odd votes. Barking & Dagenham is the seat they've focussed on. Nick Griffin is standing there. He doesn't seem to expect to win but they are hopeful they'll take control of the council . Due to hear around 4 I think.

Think I remember reading Justine was going to be on ITV
