Me thinks the poll is misleading, the wish i had the nuts to vote Lib Dem seems to be winning, i voted for El Presidente Blair and not afraid to admit it.

Gives the LibDems a 196 seat majority!

That would be a strange world to wake up to tomorrow!

OK, we are now back down to a 172 LibDem majority.

the poll is an accurate snapshot of opinions on a forum, inconsequential, rather than 'misleading' methinks, Roy MM, but 'El Presidente' - i hope you were joking

You really need over 1000 responses for a regular poll. But fun all the same.

I am going through a moment of madness Gaz, bare with me, i am about to be certified, but privately, can't trust the NHS.

I heard that Tony Blair and Michael Howard both phoned local radio stations.

Tony Blair requested for "I'M HOLDING ON" by SIMPLY RED
Michael Howard requested that the voters take STEPS and cast their votes for A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE

EDIT

Since then the Chancellor phoned in and requested GOLDEN BROWN by THE STRANGLERS

I turned the voting card into hamster bedding.

Well, only four results in so far, but the Lib Dems are making a good show of it. Not as good as our exit poll, but good nonetheless. The pundits are already starting to say that things are worse for Labour than even the BBC exit poll has suggested.

Excellent.

Just to point out to those watching TV (we're flicking between the channels) that the results on ITV are NOT confirmed. There just the results that their correspondents believe to be correct.

Apparently (and ITV seem to not be telling the viewers this) their correspondents are going around asking the candidates if they think they've won and then reporting this to ITV. Shabby journalism if you ask me, nothing on screen to tell anyone that they aren't the official results. They should have saved their money and just put up the the number of safe seats on the screen!!!

The other tactic ITV are using is to ask their correspondents to phone in when they reckon they know who has won, rather than give the full results. BBC and Sky may be holding back to get the results in detail, so that may make the difference.

Hmm, well my mother lives in the area concerned, and despite her phoning a number of times over the preceeding fortnight saying she would be on holiday (a classic case for the postal vote if there ever was), the papers never arrived. She wanted to vote, was entitled to vote by the legislation, yet has been disenfranchished.

If this is repeated accross the country in marginal seats who knows how we have foisted upon us as government against the wishes of the country's overall electorate.

Sounds like ITV is trying to report the election American style, and wanting to be the first to 'call' each constituency result.

Personally I never by choice watch ITV news. The BBC is streets ahead for quality. Right now I'm watching Paxman savaging Falconer ... ITV can't touch that.
