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.

If the seats are not marginal, then not being able to vote would not affect the results. There are no reports of queues over 200 people

Crossword, make that when we get a majority share .

Hmm, might switch over to sky.

Lolly68 · 07/05/2010 00:15

Going to hold on until 1am and then I will have to go to bed. Wished I had booked tomorrow off now.

Alibabaandthe40tories · 07/05/2010 00:18

This count is slow. Definitely a higher turnout than the last couple of times.

CrosswordGeekVotesBlue · 07/05/2010 00:18

I'm watching Sky too. Although not sure why they are following DC in a helicopter (I'm laughing about the carbon footprint THAT must have!)

Will have to go to bed soon, or I will end up falling asleep and DD will crawl away....

Yes, WHEN we get the majority share

Oh bleurgh.

Sycophantic GB. Direct me to the channel of choice please.

Hello everyone! On my second glass of wine - my nerves are fraught tonight!!

I have to say that the issue with people not being able to vote who have queued for ages is a disgrace.

However it is done now, votes being counted and I am praying that we wake up to lovely blue skies tomorrow morning!

Lolly68 · 07/05/2010 00:23

I am also watching Sky but dont like the fact that they are speculating that LibDems just got a seat... why dont they just wait until it is actually declared?!

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 00:25

I turned over from BBC to Sky because I couldn't bear the combination of Andrew Neil, with Joan Collins gurning in a glittery dress behind him

I'm going to try to make it to 2am; after that we'll see if it's exciting enough to keep me up.
I don't have to work, just look after baby, so can be fairly braindead tomorrow

ninna · 07/05/2010 00:25

There is a conservative thread and leftie threads. This implies that all those Lib-Dems are lefties. I wouldn't have considered this to be entirely the case. Why isn't there a Lib-Dem thread?

Thediaryofanobody · 07/05/2010 00:25

Lets hope Fruity.
Not sure how much longer I can stay up the results are coming in so slowly. I'd rather just skip the angst and wake up to find out but I don't think I'll sleep well.

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 00:26

agree Lolly.
I would rather have less info but more definite.

AnnaSergeyevna · 07/05/2010 00:26

I'm finding it difficult to stay interested.
Need another result soon. Please.

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 00:28

Heh heh. I love Joany Collins

Lolly68 · 07/05/2010 00:28

With you on that one Anna.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:29

Yes, Joan Collins made me laugh when she turned round grinning rather strangely - did she think she was going to be interviewed??

Lolly68 · 07/05/2010 00:31

ITV are saying that LAB have 5 seats but BBC and Sky are still saying 3.

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 00:32

that woman who didn;t get to vote has a valid grievance but I am bored with her now!

Thediaryofanobody · 07/05/2010 00:33

Fruity thats her permeant face it's be painstakingly stitched like that.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:33

I find it very frustrating when they claim that a particular person has won the seat when the votes have not even been counted!

Speculation on election night is too much for my nerves!

Lolly68 · 07/05/2010 00:35

Its winding me up Fruity.

Thediaryofanobody · 07/05/2010 00:35

Has there ever been voting trouble like this before?

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:35

Gosh, she must be in her 70's by now - how much botox?!

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 00:35

Sam Cam looking very sweet and rabbit-in-headlights. Imagine going through all that when you're pregnant!

Alibabaandthe40tories · 07/05/2010 00:37

Fruity - I thought that! She was clearly expecting Andrew Neil to rush over to her - hysterical!
