Election night

[Sir David Gray]

I thought it would be interesting to have a thread dedicated to the election results tonight.

As the results come in, seat-by-seat, this thread will get updated with the the number of seats that each party has also being updated at the same time.

I think the record time for a seat to be declared is about 48 minutes so the first seat should be coming through at about 22:48 tonight.

Sit back, grab a beer and enjoy! :thumbsup:

[Hainan Hibs]

At the age of 20 I have went out and bought a pizza and a few beers specifically for Election night.

How sad I am I:greengrin

1997 was a memorable one for me. Went round to the future Mrs Hisbollah's flat after a days drinking in Edinburgh (the train back down was sitting next to some literal champagne socialists, who were (literally) drinking champagne and sharing it with me, a poor student at the time).

Stayed up all night watching the results come in (some classic moments include Sir James Goldsmith and David Mellor heckling each other OUT OUT OUT! See you in the Hacienda Jimmy!!) and Portillo losing. At about 3 in the morning a few of the neighbours came round, and a party started which went on into the night...:party:

...I never realised Blair was going to be such a let-down:faf::rolleyes:

[hibsbollah]

...and while you're watching keep an eye on the financial markets. The Dow's top shares have fallen 10% so far today, there will be undoubtedly be mass protests in Athens tonight. There could be a big mess to clean up in the morning in more ways than one.

Blair a let down. Jesus - we never had it so good. But why argue, the die is now cast and we're all about to remember why it was we dumped the Tories in 1997 because David Cameron is going to take us backward in time and then some.......

yeah that was pretty dramatic, but its bounced back since. any word on the real cause of it (other than general background noise of Greece etc)? it must have been something in particular to spark that sort of rapid selling.

How sad I am I:greengrin

But hell, I cannae wait:thumbsup:


Not sad at all. We clearly don't agree politically but nonetheless election night has something special about it. A lot of the rest of the time its all talk - but on election night the talking is mostly over and the need to deal with the reality of the democratic process kicks in. I hated it in 1983 and 1987 and 1992. But 1997 was one of the best days (and day after) of my life.

You'll need more pizza too because with the number of seats being counted the next day this time the full result won't be clear until later on friday.

Being a Labour supporter I'm not anticipating the need for much champagne this time. But that's ok, the fight NEVER ends.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

As usual I'm staying up with a carry out for the election coverage, ready for a long night ahead, quite depressing really, fearing what a Tory win will mean, but detesting the only party who could stop them. Will take no pleasure in the expected result, other than to enjoy the demise of the likes of the ever odious Jim Murphy in East Renfrewshire.

Regarding the '97 election, it was indeed a great time (in my case spent in Goteborg for Sweden v Scotland) and as much as the Blair/Brown years have been a wasted opportunity, and marked by a criminal foreign policy, I have no regrets over celebrating that night. I could never vote for them again but it was a step forward, not least in the creation of The Scottish Parliament.

Exit polls say Tories will be the largest party in a hung parliament, Lib Dems have less seats than last time:confused::confused::confused:

[Sir David Gray]

And it's closed.

Sky News exit poll;

Conservatives-307 seats
Labour-255 seats
Liberal Democrats-59 seats
Other-29 seats

Poor result for the Lib Dems if that's correct.

Looks like a hung parliament then.

[Hainan Hibs]

Exit polls say Tories will be the largest party in a hung parliament, Lib Dems have less seats than last time:confused::confused::confused:

If their share of the vote goes up they will have some argument for reform of the voting system.

[Phil D. Rolls]

If their share of the vote goes up they will have some argument for reform of the voting system.

I think that's in the bag whatever happens. Small price to pay to keep the Tories out.

[lyonhibs]

Hung parliament it is.

In that instance, who are the Lib Dems going to get into bed with. Remember, it is NOT the right of the Tories to be one of the parties that make up one of the parties in a coalition government.

Labour + Lib Dem would equal 314 seats.

Very, very ,very tight, even allowing for the fact that exit polls are not to be taken as a perfect reflection as voting patterns across the country.

[Hainan Hibs]

Are the exit polls normally roughly correct or can they be quite different to the final result?

[lyonhibs]

Are the exit polls normally roughly correct or can they be quite different to the final result?

Quite different I believe. See 1992. The polls were only taken from 130 seats, so to take the exit poll as being representative would be to assume that the voting tendencies reflected by those asked for the EXIT poll will be reflected uniformly across all 650 seats.

Which clearly won't be the case.

Oh, and the exit polls don't include postal votes.

[Sir David Gray]

Are the exit polls normally roughly correct or can they be quite different to the final result?

If I'm reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2005#Exit_polling this correctly, the exit poll in 2005 was correct.:dunno:

[Pretty Boy]

If I'm reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2005#Exit_polling this correctly, the exit poll in 2005 was correct.:dunno:

2005 was to all intents and purposes a foregone conclusion though. Labour win with a reduced majority. 1992 is a better example. The exit polls were pretty wide of the mark that year and that election was far more similar to this one. Incumbent party who were pretty unpopular against an opposition who were also unpopular with conflicting opinion polls right up to polling day.

[Ed De Gramo]

Those exit polls seem fishy

[lyonhibs]

That is shocking as a stand-alone stat, but I think that the Tories may see Labour drop relatively big %ages, but those dropped votes will be split up between the Tories, Independent, UKIP, BNP etc etc more than the Tories want them to be.

I think Labour might hold onto a few seats by the skin of their teeth on this basis.

[Hainan Hibs]

Would be interesting if the DUP get enough seats to create a majority with Conservatives.

By romp, you mean with an 11.6% swing to the Tories.

I find it a bit perturbing that seats in which the Tories will have devoted precious little time/effort/publicity have witnessed such swings.

Ones that Tory HQ have targeted from day 1 could well have fallen, if only 5-7% swings were required.

FalkirkHibee- As a UKIP supporter are you worried that in the 3 seats declared thus far the BNP seem to be performing the best out of the smaller parties?

It's not really a surprise. The BNP is always going to have more success than UKIP because working class people in England genuinely see the BNP as a viable alternative to Labour. Even although they are more than that, I think a lot of people see UKIP as a single issue party.

In saying that, in 2005, UKIP got more than 600,000 votes and the BNP got less than 200,000 so it would be disappointing if UKIP got less than them this time.

Nope. If Brown can't agree a deal with the Lib Dems, the Tories, as the largest party, will get the opportunity to either deal with the Lib Dems or run a minority party.

It's Brown who gets the chance to stay in power in a hung parliament, not the Labour Party. Brown goes and the opportunity disappears.

But, to be fair, you should be able to turn up to the polls 45 mins (or 30mins etc) before they close and cast your vote.

This "higher than expected turnout" excuse is unacceptable; there are around 44 million people registered to vote in the UK, they should be prepared to accomodate every one of those.

Sky appear to have the Lib Dem victory in Edinburgh South as confirmed?

I know although I don't believe Adam Boulton has actually said that it's 100% confirmed and I'm also going with the BBC website, which is saying that only the Sunderland seats and two seats in N.I. have been declared so far.

No. its a "Sky 100" prediction, that's what that wee logo means.
