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.

mmm olives, thanks!

whifflegarden · 06/05/2010 22:24

Checking in...have you seen exit poll

whifflegarden · 06/05/2010 22:27

It's a lonely existance being a tory on mumsnet

Hung parliament...even with tories being largest party, Labour talking of Lab/Lib deal?

Also turmoil in financial markets earlier today...all does not bode well for us. Actually very worried

sethstarkaddersmum · 06/05/2010 22:28

pringles and dips anyone?

Alibabaandthe40tories · 06/05/2010 22:30

This is pretty worrying stuff. Interesting piece in the FT online about why to mistrust the exit poll though so maybe all is not lost.

Beaaware · 06/05/2010 22:30

No Kenneth Clarke please, been there done the damage in 1988 not again, no more cover up & lies, hope the Lib Dems win (smile)

jackstarbright · 06/05/2010 22:31

US turmoil still causing me problems - dh has taken over the TV - CNBC! Anything interesting on BBC/Sky/ITV?

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 22:33

Hello, can I join you too? I am waiting very nervously with glass of wine... please let it be a blue blue morning tomorrow!

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 22:35

jackstarbright · 06/05/2010 22:37

Lolly - glad I missed her .

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 22:38

Apparently loads of people turning up to vote and have been turned away!

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 22:39

how late do you think we will have to stay up to have a really good view of where it will end up?

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 22:41

The first one should be in my 11pm. I dont think we will know until about 3am. I will wake up in night and have a look at my phone!

ConservativesShouldWinSurely · 06/05/2010 22:43

All too close to call, but never trust an exit poll entirely.

Seems so wrong that even if we get the most seats we don't get the first shot at forming a coalition.

Can't stay up to watch though - too tired, and expect that exact numbers still won't be known by morning anyway.

101damnations · 06/05/2010 22:43

Another one keeping everything crossed here.Everyone I spoke to today was desperate to see the back of Brown and Labour.

herbitea,I think we have the same MP.

Ugh,Prince of Darkness on BBC atm.What wouldn't I give to see him out on his arse?

jackstarbright · 06/05/2010 22:43

Anna - I suspect this will be an 'all-nighter'!

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 22:47

I will stay up until midnight and then give in. Have work in the morning!

Cartoose · 06/05/2010 22:49

"Ugh,Prince of Darkness on BBC atm.What wouldn't I give to see him out on his arse?"

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 22:53

First one to that lot but that was a safe seat for them!

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 22:53

damp squib methinks

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 22:55

8.4% swing sounds good to me. Not sure if I understand all this analysis

Alibabaandthe40tories · 06/05/2010 22:57

That is a good swing.
