I have to live in Barking and Dag for three months when we get back.

I have no words for how depressed I feel at this moment.

policywonk · 06/05/2010 23:09

Exit poll has been revised - wtf? Can't they just come out with their hands up?

Meglet · 06/05/2010 23:09

Nick Robinson confirmed a polling station has been allowed to stay open late to get everyone through

ImSoNotTelling · 06/05/2010 23:09

That's it I really am going to bed. My eyes are getting hurty.

Night all, good luck

BUT what??? How can they revise the exit poll? Either they added the sums up wrong in the first place (unlikey) or they are just randomly adjusting it cos it looks a bit wonky?

PFFFFFFFFFF

Oh - exit polls been revised; Tories down 2, LibDems up 2

jenny60 · 06/05/2010 23:10

no exit polls have often been quite wrong. How can we have a 55% turn out in the closest election in a generation lazy bastards.

Am I the only one NOT to be tired AT ALL yet...?

Can't possibly be tired until more results come in.

Blimey Dimbleby 'it's third world politics, a disgrace'

auberginesrus · 06/05/2010 23:10

Just showing queues of people in Leeds waiting to vote, pretty appalling that people were turned away. Even Dimbleby saying absolute disgrace.

duckyfuzz Am North Tyneside. New candidate, too. She should be all right. She is a local candidate against a London analyst in an investment bank.
Is he a colleague of your Coolfonz? LOL

Can you see the people queuing in Leeds?

BecauseIAgreeWithGordon · 06/05/2010 23:10

Some polling stations stayed open an extra 30 mins apparently

Nointhemood · 06/05/2010 23:10

This queueing thing... could it really take off? I mean, queueing has obv. taken off in Britain in quite a big way. But could it be a Thing?

expatinscotland · 06/05/2010 23:11

am not tired.

caffeine and nicotine + insomnia.

thetoriesaretoast · 06/05/2010 23:11

BBC has pics of people queuing to vote and being turned away. Why are they asking Andrew Neil of all people if he had to queue? Twat!

DP is watching Rod Fucking Liddle on C4

Aranea · 06/05/2010 23:11

How can this election be valid if there are such large numbers of people being turned away from the polling stations? It is outrageous.

jenny60 · 06/05/2010 23:11

Lots of young people voting late: wouldn't have got them \in the exit polls!

So if one polling station is allowed to stay open what are they going to do about the others? There's gonna be trouble if the votes are close in those constituencies where people were turned away.

onebatonevote · 06/05/2010 23:11

I'm not tired Wilf.
Am wired, in fact.
