Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Must have been a few, I'd have thought. Be interesting to know how many postal ballots there were. Harlow is the other constituency still to declare on the mainland, btw, which is also expected to be extremely close, so watch for that one (I reckon it'll stay Labour, just). Similar sort of town: new, crap, near an airport, full of chavs.

Anyone geeky and bored, find the top ten most popular MPs by % of the vote. If anyone beats Gerry Adams' 70.7% I'd like to see it. There are a few in the 58-59 range but I can't find any over 60 apart from the bearded one.

Edit: Frank Field in Birkenhead got a whopping 65%.

I voted UUP.

Very few results in from NI, the only one is Adams has won West Belfast.

I go to Harlow! I live in Epping forest (well, not IN the forest but a town near by). Anyway I go to college in Harlow, and in the last month the Tories (Robert Halfon) have had a very very strong campaign, posters and signs are everywhere. You cannot move without seeing another poster 'vote tory' written all over the town. By contrast I have hardly seen a labour poster although the MP has been around the town a lot, i have seen him at least twice. Harlow it-self looks very labour but it is surrounded by rich areas that affect the vote. So its very close. Anyway, they will declare tomorrow as a recount was halted as people were too tired.

As for epping forest, it now was a majority of over 30% for the conservatives. and almost 2000 votes for the BNP. We have the reserve of harlow as this town would be labour (properly, close though) but we are bundled in with chigwell, Loughton and a lot of rich areas so....

Breaking News - H'angus the Monkey voted back in as Mayor of Hartlepool with an overwhelming majority.

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Well, thank god for that!

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Jeez a national front candidate??
I thought they became BNP...

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

When they became a nice,fluffy party?

Only joking. I do realise that the BNP are neither nice nor fluffy..

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

BNP are separate from NF - we had an NF candidate round our way, which must have gone down a storm in Hounslow. Both a bunch of Nazis of course.

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Watching the line ups last night when the results where given out you could very easily spot the BNP candidate, they are the ones that look like they have either.

1> Just got out of jail.
2> Bought thier suit 10 years ago.
3> Have hate tatooed on thier knuckles.

etc etc.

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

You could also distinctly point out the candidates for the Monster Raving Loony Party :D

The NF in France (Front National) is actually really popular. It gained 18% of the popular vote in France in 2002 and won some rounds of the election. Scary really.

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

The FN also came second in the Presidential run-off between Chirac and Le Pen. The phrase of the day was 'Vote for the crook, not the Nazi'. Chirac got 81%.

Most NF people I saw have 'haet' tattooed on their knuckles. Literacy isn't their strong point.

Re: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
 

Funnily enough, I have spotted two spelling mistakes on our BNP candidate leaflet which we received through the door :rolleyes:
