Do they broadcast this kind of announcement for every seat? This is my first time really watching a British election.

Not really - but they'll certainly focus on the more high profile constituencies, like Sheffield Hallam (i.e. Clegg's one)

 

[RandyBobandy]

Shame on 44% of people not voting. I just don't get why you wouldn't bother.

When your choices are basically Cameron or Miliband you can't really blame them

 

[mr-paul]

I'm really dreading this. If the tories stay in power I'm seriously considering moving abroad!

Poor old Clegg, hasn't even got enough MPs for a charity football match.

Watching sons of anarchy now lol

Come to Scotland with the rest of us disillusioned lefties

 

[Mr Cola]

I hate it when people answer a question on TV with "Look..." or "Listen..." Fuck off you fucking dog rapist. Alistair Campbell has out stayed his welcome. The best thing he ever did was inspire The Thick of It.

On a Daily Politics debate a few days ago William Hague said "Let me just make one point clear" 23 times

How about lesser of the two evils or spoiling your vote?

What is easier to learn, Norwegian, Swedish or Scottish?

 

[Oemenia]

Is the percentage share of the vote out yet? I'm still trying to understand how the Torys did so well.

 

[f0rk]

Vote Conservative, they won't wastefully eat items of clothing.

Where?

 

[cyberheater]

So, anyone believe the exit poll could be an accurate representation?

I don't. I think it's bull.

 

[liquidtmd]

So, anyone believe the exit poll could be an accurate representation?

A bit too high for Tories but I'm expecting 300 or there abouts.

But then...God knows. Fasten your seatbelts

Keep hope alive!

http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/what-the-uk-exit-poll-will-tell-us/

This year, there are a lot of potential changes in voting patterns that could throw off the exit poll. There are arguably five major parties now (instead of three), and Scotland is being contested for the first time in ages. To try to adjust, 10 more constituencies and polling stations will be polled. That may help, though we don’t have past election data for these polling stations to extrapolate the swing from. (Election day data isn’t released at the polling station level. In most cases, previous exit poll data is available and used to compare with this year’s exit polls.)

John Curtice, president of the British Polling Council and a FiveThirtyEight contributor, helped design the exit poll. He has said to “prepare for disappointment.” In other words, we might be heading back to the 1974 to 1997 era of major exit poll errors.

plz.

We've got a looooooooooooong way off

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This rate of returns makes Florida 2000 look expeditious.

 

[painey]

who is this cunt on BBC who won't say he's surprised

 

[Fintan]

Gove keeps trying to say it's a victory.

Nothings happened yet

I think they said the labour vote was up 9% per the exit poll. Could be wrong

Anyone up for a game of "I'll eat my _____" bingo? I've got hat and kilt crossed off, going for rosette and shoe to finish it.

They're all basically the same language, Scottish has a lot of Scandinavian based words in their dialect, as does a lot of North-East England. Am gannin Yem.

 

[Audioboxer]

And people wonder why some Scots want independence -_-

Pretty shocked at the exit polls. People really want David Cameron back again? Cause we're all doing great in the UK as it stands...

 

[Dr Zhivago]

Gove seemed to be backtracking on his earlier glee a bit.

 

[nOoblet16]

Everyone I meet in real life that indulges in political discussion (including randoms) is anti tory, everyone I interact with online is anti tory. How have I not had a discussion with a tory supporter when there are so many who vote for them :S

I will go play something now, will just look at the result tomorrow and be disappointed then because right now I can't deal with it

 

[AGoodODST]

If that first exit poll proves even somewhat accurate, I hope it puts to bed the lie of voting Labour to keep the Conservatives out in Scotland.

 

[Masquerader]

On a Daily Politics debate a few days ago William Hague said "Let me just make one point clear" 23 times

'Let me just make twenty-three points clear' would be a much better way to counter an argument.

"Balls" from a Labour SpAd in Morley.

I'll eat my Balls in sympathy of Ed losing his

EDIT: BEATEN LIKE A MACKEM LIB DEM!

 

[Keyser Soze]

who is this cunt on BBC who won't say he's surprised

I don't know which old white guy you are talking about.

 

[ShemhazaiX]

I'm in total agreement with you, ShemhazaiX. The Tories are vile and i'm hoping that exit poll is way off, or I may also be heading up to Scotland (with a few other Gaffers by the look of it).

It's quite funny really. I've not had a single reply from someone who was pro-Tory after linking those articles. Goes to show how much attention they seem to be paying to the actual politics instead of just spouting smug rhetoric like "Why would anyone trust labour with money".

 

[Black Republican]

i don't know why i had so much hope
despair is setting in

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

THE CONSERVATIVES WIN

'we don't know yet. the only votes that have come in so far, are in favour of Labour.'

BUT CONSERVATIVES WIN.
WHAT IF THE CONSERVATIVES WON?
THEY WON.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Tories think the internet is full of porn, so they don't use it.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Paddy just needed a socially acceptable excuse to eat his hat for one of his three meals a day during a time of Tory austerity.

I wish Louise Mensch was on here. I love her.

 

[Raist]

So... only 1 result so far. How long is this supposed to last? Until 6am or something?

 

[Par Score]

Nice of the BBC to get some politicians on to not answer some questions and remind us why we hate them.

Just say you're fucking surprised! Be a human for 5 seconds!

Hmm, won't be home until about 23:45, how many declarations will I miss?

Not many.

So... only 1 result so far. How long is this supposed to last? Until 6am or something?

About lunchtime tomorrow.

 

[Übermatik]

So what now? Run for the hills?

 

[Empty]

does anyone know what time the first tory/labour marginal gets called? or maybe a tory lib dem one?

 

[Jezbollah]

I wish Louise Mensch was on here. I love her.

Hnng. She's a firecracker.

From a Sky caption I think 11:30 to midnight.

Think my town (Burnley) will be close between Labour and UKIP for the seat.

I've found that most of the people I know who vote Tory are working class, voting Tory because they don't know anything about their policies.

 

[AnthonypUK]

I think the story is more they don't want Ed, Tories were there for the taking, but a weak leader cost 'em.
