Weird echoes...

Well, I've got radio 4 on, I'm switching between multiple websites and TV channels, and so far, nothing interesting has happened.

Exit polls give Labour a win on a reduced majority (we knew that), but beyond that it's inconclusive. Massive swings in the second/third place positions all over the place, fun fun.

Stragnest thing is that BBC TV is about a clause behind on the 'live' feeds thant Radio 4. Very weird to listen to while watching; anyone any idea why?

Well, junk food total is going up; I keep thinking about going to cook something but, well, that means not switching between multiple tabs...

Manchester Withington?

How on earth did we take that?

145 down the list of possible seats to take? Labour majority of over 30% in the last election?

Well done to John Leech.

Oh, and kudos to the Beeb website, which is great...

In more scary rather than good news, Nick Griffin took 9% of the vote in wherever he was standing for the BNP. What a weird night so far; there is no way to predict anything right now, very (very) weird.

"He's basically having a huff"

Veritarse lost his deposit, and is refusing to speak to the BBC reporter, she's not very complementary about him on Radio 4.

And Sarah Teather stays in Brent East. Very very cool.

On electoral reform.

Bugger, forgot to change the 'posti to' bit, so this ended up in my journal as well (briefly); a bit on Electoral Reform, the spurious "no-platform" ideal and why last night is a good reason to change is written up here in ukpolitics.
