Anxious Conservatives thread!

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.

She probably wants to be in her jim jams with a cup of Horlicks .

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:37

I don't recall anything like this in the last 2 or 3 elections. I don't understand how this has happened.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:38

Oooohhh - Horlicks - retirement holds so many things to look forward to!

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 00:39

I know Fruity but it's so quiet right now. They're trying to fill in with anything.

I was hoping earlier that she managed to have a nap at some point it's a long and stressful day for anyone but must be especially hard in that sort of situation. She could be moving house in the morning!

I've gone back to BBC now because it's clearer what's going on.
the tv people must be thrilled about the voting trouble - gives them something to fill the hours with till the results come in

Lolly68 · 07/05/2010 00:45

Think I am going to head off to bed. I always wake up in night usually because of DD getting in with me so will check through the night. Dont think I can stand the suspense anymore! Night.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:45

I just want to put my wine away and get counting - I am sure I could do it quicker!

CrosswordGeekVotesBlue · 07/05/2010 00:48

Hahahahahah! Is anyone watching Mandelspoon on Sky?

101damnations · 07/05/2010 00:49

This is sooo slow going tonight.I'm reading a magazine now,until something actualy happens.

Thediaryofanobody · 07/05/2010 00:50

I'm knitting, badly because I've one eye on MN/Sky news and one eye on knitting.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:51

Ok, I am nervous at the moment. 5 seats for Labour, one for liblob, and three for others, no sign of a blue seat yet.

I can only assume it is because their winning seats are in areas with huge turnouts taking longer to count - perhaps?

101damnations · 07/05/2010 00:51

My next door neighbour is counting tonight.She warned me that she will be back late,so not to worry if I hear a car outside in the early hours.She is being taxied there and back and it is only 6 miles.I quite fancy counting.

moondog · 07/05/2010 00:52

Trouble is that there is someone in every party that noone can warm to.
With Labour it is Peter Mandelson.
For Tories, george Osborne.
God, both are soooo creepy.

Thediaryofanobody · 07/05/2010 00:53

Oh dear Jenny your Job is going to be hanging by a thread tomorrow no matter who gets in!

Quattrocento · 07/05/2010 00:53

I'm floating across both threads. S'funny

ronshar · 07/05/2010 00:55

Snow snr & jnr. Brilliant.

Fruitysunshine · 07/05/2010 00:57

They made me giggle - Snr kept butting in on Jnr!!

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 00:57

ooh, swing from Lib Dem to Tory in S Yorks. Who'd have thought it?

ronshar · 07/05/2010 00:57

I thought there wasnt a Lib Dem thread because noone could decide who should start it or what it should be called

101damnations · 07/05/2010 00:59

Moondog,you are right.I'm true blue all the way,but every time I look at George Osbourne,I think 'Lord Snooty'.Although given the choice of who I'd rather not meet in a dark alleyway,it would be Mandy.

sethstarkaddersmum · 07/05/2010 00:59

big swings again in Darlington and Durham!

Cartoose · 07/05/2010 00:59

swingometer

ronshar · 07/05/2010 00:59

OMG a 8.9% swing in seats.
We could win this.

AnnaSergeyevna · 07/05/2010 00:59
