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.

That is a big swing. Get a few more of those and things might be ok!

The analysis is a bit much isnt it!?

I feel so nervous, I didn't expect to feel this way.

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 23:01

Me too!

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 23:01

What channel are you all finding the best?

I find ITV the simplest, less gadgets and gizmos and easier to follow. But I still keep switching over to BBC hoping to see the swingometer.

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 23:03

I'm watching Sky but will switch to ITV now.

Latest exit poll results come in. Tories lost 2 seats...

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 23:04

What are you nervous about? We know they won't get an outright majority, so is it that they might not even get above 300? or is it that they might do really badly compared to expectations?
I am excited, and a little pessimistic, but don't really feel nervous as such.

LubyBlue · 06/05/2010 23:05

I'm nervous that we are going to have a hung parliament which would just be disastrous for the country.

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:05

I'm watching BBC mainly but channel surfing.

SomeGuy · 06/05/2010 23:05

pass me a canapé.

Lolly68 · 06/05/2010 23:06

Think I am nervous that even if we are not getting majority that GB will still be PM and will still be in power and then or the waiting around to see what is actually going to happen.

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 23:06

prof bognaor says if the 8% swing is repeated across the country, then we'll have an outright majority.
Now there's something to be optimistic about!

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:08

sorry only got very very burnt flapjack that could be considered an offensive weapon here.

AnnaSergeyevna · 06/05/2010 23:08
SomeGuy · 06/05/2010 23:08

Overall Majority is about a 40% chance at the moment. Far from ruled out.

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:09

A hung Parliament is what I'm worried about too, more than another term of Labour.

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:10

Ok your optimism is calming me.

Alouiseg · 06/05/2010 23:12

Right! I'm up for a few hours, been out for a chinese and had my political will stoked.

Dh will be trading short sterling from 1am. We're nervous yet hopeful.

Cable has shanked on the back of the exit polls.

Keep calm and carry on.....smile and wave boys, smile and wave.

VicToryA · 06/05/2010 23:12

LOL at flapjack as offensive weapon. And I would laugh at Prince of Darkness if he weren't so repulsive. Herbietea, I share you pain re. HH.

Will focus on Anna's 8% and SomeGuy's 40% and try to go to sleep now.

I hope I will not be passing the hemlock tomorrow.

Sending even more optimism your way:

I can't stand Andrew O'Neill but he's saying it could be a "very bad night for Labour". Love him

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:15

Doing as ordered

I'll try to stay up for few more hours don't think I'll sleep otherwise and DH taking day off tomorrow so he can get up with the kids.

101damnations · 06/05/2010 23:16

herbietea,I've lived here all my life and can't ever remember a non Tory MP here.I think he is safe,despite his foot in mouth tendancy.

I wasn't surprised to see a BNP candidate listed sadly,a ward just outside MM elected one recently-ironically the least multicultural place you could imagine.

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:17

Vic dont worry about the hemlock I'll give you some flapjack to bet your head against it's truly solid.

Thediaryofanobody · 06/05/2010 23:20

BEAT not bet. I would say the nerves have got to my spelling but it's always this bad.

Uhgggg Ester need to turn down volume cant stand the woman.
