UK Election Poll

[giblets]

is midnight in the UK around four hours from now?

[N35t0r]

4h unless they're on dst, AFAIK.

[C0ckney]

we're on BST now so it's 3 hours. i'll bet you can hardly wait.

[C0ckney]

The ideal for me would be a Conservative-LibDem government that pushes through electoral reform. Since it may be unlikely for the Tories to go for electoral reform, a Lib-Lab coalition is my next best hope.

a tory-liberal coalition would be my favoured outcome too, as they're the ones with the few ideas i like. there's been some talk that the tories would offer a referendum on electoral reform as part of a deal with the liberals, but it all depends on the outcome of the vote and the bargaining power of the respective parties.

UKIP for me.

There are of course exit polls announced at 10.00pm which gives the media hordes on the TV programmes something to dribble over during the long hours between closing and the arrival of the first actual results.

[Imran Siddiqui]

UKIP for me.

Why am I not surprised.

[Krill]

Current exit poll seems completely broken.

[Dauphin]

Something wrong with the poll. You don't need to be a Brit to vote in this election.

BBC live election coverage!

They've even got the CNNesque virtual reality room. This is joy for election junkies.

You aren't even a Briton, how does any of this affect you?

Liberal Democrats & Labour both support lowering the voting age to 16. If they do it'll have a huge affect on my work.

Plus the world is pretty globalized now, so what happens in the UK affects Americans and vice-versa.

Exit poll:

Cameron 307, Brown 255, Clegg 59 seats.

Any chance of Greens getting in on a coalition? Probably not, I suppose.

[OzzyKP]

Yea, they've been talking about that poll non-stop on the BBC, but no one seems to be taking it seriously. I'm rather incredulous as well.

You aren't even a Briton, how does any of this affect you?

This pretty much applies to me though I do feel an emotional attachment since since my father is Scottish, I used to spend my summers in Scotland visiting family, and I still have lots of aunts/uncles/cousins/what not in the UK. I've never actually lived or worked in the UK though (just visited sometimes up to two months at a time) so really I shouldn't be that interested but some how I still feel drawn.

[Krill]

After the Sunderland poll though...Basically, it seems credible now. The big question is what happened between Tories and the Lib Dems, because anything lost between LD and Lab is doesn't matter in a hung parliament, and it is looking like the LD lost there...
