Tried to sleep but even though I've pretty well ignored this election I find myself unable to NOT listen. Mr K is asleep in the living room, so I am relying on the radio for results and analysis ..
Amazing news about some ppl being turned away at 10pm tonight .. so the talk of voter apathy seems also slightly askew to the reality in these wards.
I do, really, love the way the pundits try to build a story on the emerging news, instead of just waiting till the results are in ...
Gordon Brown's count just came in, and he is increased his own majority!
6.9% = swing the Tories need ... so far they're getting 3.9% overall. (1.52 am)
Guilford, "No 1 Top Target" for Libs against Tories ... stayed Tory with bigger majority .. so yet again the Lib-Dem surge is already looking like the myth it usually is!
Tooting, held by Labour, this seat is on the edge of what Tories need to get a majority, so good news they didn't get it! Gedling (sp?) also held by Labour, ditto. Ben Bradshaw kept Exeter .. and Bolton NE saved
1.54 am In Scotland and Wales the Labour vote is up, but it's down in England.
1.57 am pundits are busy talking about Brown making a co-alition with Lib-Dems (if enough of THEM get elected of course!) 60 seats declared so far, so less than 10% in.
2.09 am "If there's one certainty it's that Brown cannot carry on as PM" (in a co-alition context) I think this is Tory pundit talking, wish they'd remind us of who they have in the studio! Was it Ken Clarke?
2.18 Where Tories are trying to win seat from Libs they are failing, so far.
Will the Greens get Brighton?
2.22 am Signs of Tory wins from Labour, but ones quite high on their target list, not evidence of enough to govern.
Ohh I really should try to sleep -- I am suffering with tiredness in general, but not nec. sleepy, if you know the subtle difference!
