New MN election night thread

[SomeGuy]

Conservatives win Brigg and Goole.

where is everyone? Thats my first time ona full thread!

So whats happening with ed balls then?? fell asleep for a while

wow jacqui smith gone

Seeing as I can't reply in the last thread, thanks caramel

I really want to stay up and see what Brighton Pav votes in! Though I'm flagging..

Evan Harris has lost his recount(s) in Oxford West. Con gain.

Windsor is Tory, shock surprise!

Tories have won 35 of the 48 seats on their target list of 116 (to win a majority) so far.

They should win 82 of the list, plus the eight they've won NOT in their list, leaving them with around 100 gains overall - about 300 MPs, still short of a majority, even with DUP support.

dh & i agreed we'd go to bed at 11.30 our time. it's now 11.25 & no sign of him appearing,even though i've suggested it's bed time! keep clicking on the bbc live thread, and the tories are in the lead, but not necessarily going to get a clear majority - so how can i go to bed now?
not usually that into politics but i find a hung parliament strangely exciting

Royal Tunbridge Wells conservative - another shocker (not)

One things clear, the Tories WON'T have a big majority. A tiny majority is still possible though...

FUCK - did i hear that right? UKIP got more votes than esther rantzen?

have ukip or bnp got any seats? hoping not?

Labour win Chesterfield from Lib Dems

ok need to sleep for a bit again

Nope kickass it's all good on that front

UKIP had no chance.

BNP only have a realistic chance to win in Barking, and they've lost there it seems

good, thought so. but been busy this eve & missed some bits.
so tempted to stay up & keep listening, but no-one round here will be sympathetic if we're tired tomorrow (in the US)

Oooo two threads happening at once

Hung Parliament anyone (?)

hung parliament is 7-1 on....

looks like greens have won in Brighton...

I need to go to bed - it's 5.30 here. Can't tear myself away from the awfulness, though. Did they officially announce Islington S yet?

crikey, just checking in from Australia to see what the result is and it isn't! Seems like a bit of a mess so far... haven't read the previous threads but did anyone on MN miss out on voting because of poor polling station practice?

Tories win Dewsbury

take that, Philippa!

did you see that? LDs held Sutton and Cheam. No Philippa Stroud.

Thumbwitch - Yes. Not me; a family member.

The Icelandic Volcano blew it's top. my relative was/is worse. She is rather miffed
