As the lefties have one, we need one too.

I have everything crossed for them to win, by however small a margin, and red wine and arsenic ready in case they lose...

I daren't stay up as my nerves can't take it. I just desperately want to wake up to a Conservative government tomorrow morning.

Lefties, please don't intrude. I have deliberately started this thread so as not to pester you on your anxious thread. It feels mean and unnecessary to tell you why you are wrong on your own thread.

No gave up on BBC, finding it much clearer and quicker on ITV

whifflegarden · 07/05/2010 01:25

yay! the more the merrier....
Can't believe labour talking about a coalition ffs. They really will have to prise GB's fingers off the keys to number 10, gritted teeth and all

voteanythingbutBNPplease · 07/05/2010 01:27

can't stand campbell. And unusually, I'm watching itv more than bbc. Hate the stupid pissed celeb bits. swing to tories looks good but not good anough for my constituency I don't think.
DH at count so got no-one to talk to here - wish they'd hurry up and get more results in.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 01:28

I had a little giggle in the polling booth today when I saw a candidate standing for the Pirate Party!

Anyone else had that?

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 01:28

Oh, here's Blunket

whifflegarden · 07/05/2010 01:28

hanging on for dear life

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 01:29

Thanks for the vote of confidence David

wasabipeanut · 07/05/2010 01:29

Back again. Reports of GB trying to get coalition established confirms my worst fears that he will, indeed, not go quietly.

He is being very presumptuous though.

AnnaSergeyevna · 07/05/2010 01:29

anyone know where I can follow the local council election results? (as opposed to parliamentary results)

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 01:29

Ha!

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 01:30

still predicting hung parliament I see.

blondecat · 07/05/2010 01:30

Anyone else tempted to hang in there until we get the Balls scalp? That's be a dream. But actually I am not sure what is happening. Well, apart from the Prince of Darkness spinning ferociously to cling to Downing St by hook or by crook.

101damnations · 07/05/2010 01:30

David Blunkett is saying that his instinct is that Labour have lost the election.Ah what sweet sweet words..........

AnnaSergeyevna · 07/05/2010 01:31

voteanything - also got no one to talk to here, despite the fact that both DH and DS1 are on the sofa with me. Both snoring away
Tried to wake them up but no good

wasabipeanut · 07/05/2010 01:32

Oh yes. I am tempted to stay awake to see if Balls gets binned.

That would be worth feeling like crap tomorrow for.

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 01:32

I'm going to try to stay awake till Balls. What's the name of his constituency?

lilmissmummy · 07/05/2010 01:32

Would love to stay and chat but off to bed - dreaming of a blue uk tomorrow. Fingers crossed! Yay sedgefield!!

wasabipeanut · 07/05/2010 01:33

Sethstark I think its Morley?

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 01:34

Goodnight lilmissmummy you partypooper

AnnaSergeyevna · 07/05/2010 01:34

don't know what came over me but I started to feel sorry for Gordon just before the result was announced. He and Sarah looked so worried.

Alibabaandthe40tories · 07/05/2010 01:34

I would love Balls to lose his seat, it would be fabulous.

blondecat · 07/05/2010 01:35

And Durham..... stays with Labour!
I wonder though what happened to Super Clegg. On exit polls it looks disappointing. Did the media get it all wrong with the Clegg mania? Certainly my old chums at the

And what is Sarah Brown doing behind GB on the podium? Can't he be trusted to behave on his own for 4 minutes?

Shoot, we didn't get Tooting. Ghastly Khan clings on.

lilmissmummy · 07/05/2010 01:35

sorry I am rubbish! wake me up if anything happens

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 01:36

Morley not due till 3 - damn!

blondecat · 07/05/2010 01:37

Ed Balls - Normanton - expected around 3 am on current performance more like 3:30am. And it looks like they are holding onto the key ones. Grrrrrrrr
