You Know You are Political Junky When You Are Excited By the Prospect of Election Night in UK

Had the bug since I was a kid...

Should I take a 12 step program? :evilfrown:


I can still remember playing with my action figures in 1976 as the results came in... They were carefully reporting the returns...

1. I'm interested, too

Go Lib-Dems. I've been disgusted with Labour ever since Blair did everything Bush wanted. And the Conservatives will never be in touch with most of the British population.

2. I just realized though I have to get up early morn to watch

am in +4 GMT and the polls don't close until 10PM

So, breakfast and returns.

3. I have been following this as well

I can't believe the Uk might seriously elect a Con majority right in the middle of a recession. Are they serious, do they not remember the Thatch years...

I am pulling for Gordon Brown, I don't know why, except he is such an earnest goober..

or the libdems....

5. Would like to see Labour/Lib Dem coalition

4. I was thrilled when Blair beat Major.

And then he turned into Bush's poodle. :cry:

BREAKING NEWS

Police have been called to some polling stations to move on people who wanted to vote but couldn't because they were still queuing outside at 10pm. In the Manchester Withington constituency, about 200 people were turned away. A spokesman for the returning officer for Manchester said: "The law states that the doors to polling stations must be closed at 10pm exactly, and no-one may be issued with a ballot paper after 10pm.

Sound familiar?
