Me probably. Last one was the first I hadn't stayed up for since pussy was a kitten but I ain't gonna be sleepin' through this one.

Will you stay up for Letwin? .... That would be worth the price of admission.

1. Ill be up - but probably not on-line
Watching the results come through on the B.B.C.

I've been up for every election since 1992 (when I was 12 years-old), '97 I was at a count and 2001 all night election party with a bunch of (mainly Tory) friends.

2. I'll not stay up too late, it's a school night
think I'll just leave my radio on & fall asleep.

That way if I wake up in the middle of the night I'll get an update.

Will probably set my alarm for 6 so I can here the full post-match analysis.

6. I'll be up (and online) for most of the night, I think
As you say, Letwin should be one to watch. So will Bethnal Green. Maybe I'll watch Dead Ringers at 10pm, but definitely Bremner, Bird and Fortune at 10:40 on C4. That will probably contain more truth than the entire campaign.

7. Me!
Although I'll try not yell at the television if the Tories do better than expected.

8. I'll be up all night liveblogging for Londonist.
www.londonist.com

We've got a great evening planned, if you fancy stopping by. And I'll be up for Letwin since he's my parents' MP and they're part of the very organised campaign to oust him - Labour might well poll its lowest ever result in that constituency.
