Who's staying up to watch the election results?

K

Anybody about?

I'm stationed on the sofa, simultaneously editing an article. Feeling nervous at the prospect of a tory win.

B

I'm just watching the end of the forensics programme, then will tune into the election coverage.

K

I wanted to watch C4 with Charlie Brooker but BBC 1 is less distracting so can edit.

Exit poll: Hung parliament!!

I might stay up, slightly nervous too, the Exit Poll shows a hang parliament but Tory is largest count!? :-( .... bit disturbing

Haha...if you're watching the Election on BBC live, I didn't expect Piers Morgan to have that opinion of Cameron, shame he looks like him hehe

P

Depressed with exit polls. BBC Radio on, let's see how long can stay up....

sorry to ruin the pink press party with my blue dress (ah I wrote this bit before PhDbug's message) :-)
yeah, c4 is good fun but I too switched to bbc for less distraction while working.

How would those people who's been queuing but couldn't vote affect the results? Are there really so many of them?

My polling station was very quiet. Just four people at 7 pm; so few names were crossed out from their lists from my area. It looked deserted.

P

Shcwarzenneger called Cameron to congratulate him???? "Even though results aren't in we know the cons had a great day".

Urgh.

(PS: Did you see the con woman saying GLBTs should be 'cured' of their 'illness'? http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/may/02/conservatives-philippa-stroud-gay-cure)

Maybe I will just go to sleep.

S

1-0!

Get in there lads.

I have to listen, I study Politics....it would be wrong not to.

P

the first const to declare gets a Lab (not a Con!!) 19K versus con's 8k.

Ok, I'm hogging this thread but am gloating over the 8k...

But to be fair it was a Lab seat.

Goodnight for real!

D

I would love to stay up like last time but I have a real job to go to in the morning :( I want to be a PhD student again!

Hoping to see our very own garryck dressed up as gee gee!

Bit of a bugger that there was an 8% swing to the Tories though. Hopefully, Labour can kiss and make up with the Libs though, so stopping 'Dave' from getting in. If so, I can't wait to start winding up avid posters on the the Daily Wail, Torygraph and Times websites!

C

11% swing to Tories for Washington :-( (9.9% average), heck, why am I staying up for this? It's not looking good at all.

K

I'm in Newcastle and am proud to see the Labour ladies winning in Sunderland, but 11.6% swing in Washington...It's shocking, especially considering the cons probably didn't even bother to send out a couple of leaflets round there.

With the aid of strong cups of tea, I will stay up as long as I can...

Hmmm yeah, I'd like to stay up, but I live on my own so may crack up as the night progresses.

Saw a really good comedian tonight, just got back. It took my mind off things.

If the Ts get in maybe we should all get together and form that PGF independent university. It could be our only hope. That or developing some kind of dependency that comes with an allowance... well, that may work for a year or two before they intruduce slave labour or whatever.
