    It might just burst now, actually....Labour just got Washington? Huge majority. 11.6% swing. I did call the Tory I was previously speaking about I did call a worm as he is so squirmy, but I thought that was a step too far.

    Annie, you're a lot older than I thought. I thought we were the same age.


    But it's a swing in the Tories' favour. ;) Unheard of in a place like Washington. Looks like a very interesting night.
    I've switched over to BBC 2 Jackie. The Scottish coverage was just too bad. :o
    I did Politics at Uni too. Really want to stay up but have work in the morning. :(

    Ermmm.. OS today.... Watched OH cook tea when I finished work. :D

    But with a swing to Conservatives. If that trend continues in the marginal seats this will be VERY interesting.

    I did politics in first year and some in second, does that count, and my SisIL got a first in politics, does that make me guilty by association (grasping at straws now!)

    Can't believe people have been locked out of the polling stations at 10pm? Yet some have been locked in? :eek: Hope there are no close calls in those constituencies. :cool:
