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.

I know. I'll be hopeless in the morning. Don't really want to go to bed yet though.

Wicked. They've just had my constituency declared (Newbury). I thought it might go Lib Dem as the incumbent only had a 3000 odd majority. Majority went up to 12,000 or so.

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 02:00

oh right they just said - 6.7% in England which would be enough if it was the whole UK but they're doing much worse in the rest of the UK.

Sarah looked like she was going to cry during Gordon's speech don't you think? I'm feeling a bit sorry for them. My hard Tory shell must be starting to crack

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 02:02

Not more drunk celebs!

wasabipeanut · 07/05/2010 02:03

I think you'd have to have a heart of granite not to feel a smidge of sympathy with GB and the lovely Sarah.

blondecat · 07/05/2010 02:05

8% not enough to oust Bradshaw. Oh well. Very anxious, insomniac Tory cat here

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 02:05

Exeter. Oooh, maybe it will be a hung parliament!

wasabipeanut · 07/05/2010 02:09

I have a bad feeling now

I think I will go to bed. With some grave misgivings. I might check in again later if/when DD wakes.

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 02:10

Sweet dreams wasabi. I'll be gone soon too I think.

101damnations · 07/05/2010 02:10

wasabipeanut · 07/05/2010 02:11

Night night y'all

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 02:12

I missed that. Which channel are you watching 101?

blondecat · 07/05/2010 02:14

It was a ticker tape on BBC only. Oh we got Aberconwy. Maybe consider a vacation in Wales.

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 02:17

maybe we won't oust Balls.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 02:17

I'm flagging ladies, will have to retire for some sleep. Thanks for the company, it's been a lovely chuckle!

Fingers crossed for blue skies tomorrow!

101damnations · 07/05/2010 02:18

BBC-they have also just said that Labour seem to have lost NW Leics.Never heard of that happening.

blondecat · 07/05/2010 02:19

Flagging too. And worried that i will burst into tears if we don't get Ballsy. And I think now we won't.

Good night everyone.

Fingers and toes crossed for a working majority but hope fails...

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 02:19

I'll be off too soon.

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 02:23
