Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
Big swings to the Conservatives in Sunderland. If this keeps up all across the country, then it's DC in No10 tomorrow.

Harriet Harman, Labour party chairman, is asked about problems at polling stations on Sky News: "I'm concerned that everyone who turned up to vote before 10pm should have their votes counted," she says. When asked about who's responsibility it is, she adds: "That's a matter not for government, but for the Electoral Commission."

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
... and Mandelscum is already lining up a new excuse for losing the election. Apparently Labour voters vote late and Tories vote early. Hence all those turned away and denied their vote must be Labourites.
They really are grasping now.

Although I don't think it affects the election isn't that broadly true?

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
Sunderland Central about to declare. Let's see if the swing holds up. Would be nice for the result to be clear before the markets open at 1am.

Ahhh, so he's confirming that Labour rely on unemployed people who have no need to get up early...

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
Could the different approaches to the queue problems be partly to do with the location of the actual voting room. If it is next to a easily accessible area it might be very difficult to close off an area properly with the people properly isolated.
Two possible reasons for the queues:-
1) Labour voters having to get some 'Dutch courage' before voting. 
2) It takes time for a person to vote 20 times. They cant vote again too quickly or they'll be recognised.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
Labour hold Sunderland Central. Not sure on swing but it is one the Tories were attempting to win.

Re: 2010 General Election: The Cable Forum Exit Poll
4.8% Swing. So doesn't hold up there.

This is crazy. All sorts of issues with voting across the country, people staging sit ins and protests
---------- Post added at 23:48 ---------- Previous post was at 23:46 ----------
Why did these people leave it so late? Why was there a surge of voters in the last election? Did they forget until the news kicked in?
