donkey Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 .. to see the election results come in? My OH and eldest daughter do ... I just use it as an excuse for an early night .. No, definitely not. The only thing which might make a noticable difference would be an oiutright LibDem majority, but that is close to impossible under the present system and I can't really see any reason to get excited about finding out as soon as possible whether the marketing men and spin doctors who will be lying to us for the next four years are conservative or labour.

vwkittie Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'll watch the alternative election night programme, will stay up as long as it keeps me amused for! Still not decided who to vote for though!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 the best place to be for UK elections, especially close ones like this one where late results that may not come in until 5am UK time or even later could be crucial, is somewhere like Japan. You can go to bed on Thursday night, wake on Friday morning, and the results start coming in from about 8am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solero Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I'll be incommunicado on a plane somewhere across the Atlantic, so ... no. Or at least, if I am awake, I won't be watching election results; I will have no access to them. BBC iplayer doesn't work outside the UK, but just go to a cyber cafe and listen to Radio 4's election night special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I made an guess at the date of the election and as such have had the next day booked of for a while. I've stayed up and watch every election since 1992, even though I was too young to vote by a couple if months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forumosaurus Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I have never watched the election because do any of them actually do what they say they will? Yep most of the time, it's the things they don't say that you have to be worried about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Will you stay up all Thursday night/Friday morning? I will be at work does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuressenceUK Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I always stay up till the very small hours with some cans and nibbles. It's alway hilarious to see the faces of the party who has done badly get more and more fed-up looking as the night progresses. Plus this time we could have some big firsts like possible first UKIP, BNP or Green MPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
