General Election 2015

[Bozza]

The "General Election 2015 up all night" thread

Whatever your political persuasion, it is guaranteed to be a fascinating night and I, for one, can't wait.

Who else is planning on an all-nighter?

 

[Eeyore]

The key results come in too late. I only stay awake long enough to see the Sunderland result, which tells us nothing.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not Bozza!

Will probably do what I normally do....plan to ignore it and go to sleep, but end up staying up for 'just one more seat' to be announced.........until about 3am.......

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Not this time.

I always have in the past but this time it seems pointless, as nothing will be resolved until all the NI seats are in at about 11am the following day and the horse trading begins.

I might get up early to watch Clegg lose his seat though.

He should give them a cross dressing down! OK it's a bad joke, but I'm not here to make friends!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Got to be done

 

[Juror#13]

Is it today?, best get down the polling station asap.

That WOULD make it interesting but my I suspect he'll keep it. Party Leaders' constituencies are usually very loyal.

Not sarcastic in the slightest - I LOVE election night, and this is shaping up to be the most fascinating for a long time.

I have already stocked up on the Tesco-cheapie version of Red Bull.

Am going up to London to do a large lunch, where we've wangled corkage. So, seven bottles of wine planned between the four of us. Might have a few more afterwards but, thereafter, need to get home to get an early night in, as am working in the morning.
The latest I'll be up for is to see the exit poll at 10. Most of the more important results won't be in until gone 3, so I'm hoping that if I can arise a bit early at, say, 5, I might get a clearer picture, and sample some of the more exciting seats being announced. That bit between 10 and 3 is usually pretty dull.

wonder if david likes it scrambled, fried, pouched or boiled.

Are we talking about cat sick Glas ?

Russell Brand finally endorses Labour (but also SNP in Scotland and Caroline Lucas in Brighton Pavilion) - an excellent coup for Miliband.

Russell Brand backs Labour in U-turn on not voting

Yeah fantastic. Brand the political guru FFS!

 

[blue'n'white]

I'm working on the election so will probably be knackered by about midnight but I shall keep awake as long as possible
Looking forward to seeing the various TV companies "swingometers"
The best election night I ever had was in 1992 when I went up to the Comedy Store !

Apart from the fact, most of you shmucks would not get it anyway X

 

[wellquickwoody]

I used to love staying up all the way through for the election results, but I was gutted when Kinnock failed all those years ago (might surprise a few people!).

Since then I see the first 100/150 results in to get a flavour of what is going on, but then bugger off to sleep to be ready for the next day. As mentioned earlier, this result will not be known until well into Friday daylight, and then the horse trading begins......

security was a bit slack at Labour HQ that year was it?

ill get my coat...........

Up all night with ale and a few bags of mixed nuts. Taken the next day off and will celebrate seeing the BBC in shock as all their predictions go up in smoke. The tories will get a landslide, the Scottish racist party will sink away with nothing other than a hand full of seats, labour and the limp dems will be destroyed and ukip will be the second biggest party. Can't wait
