Well if they turned up en masse at 9:59...

you can't have much sympathy really - the polls are open for about 13 hours, and if you can't make them then make a flippin postal vote....

Nooo, this river bit looks lame.

Piers Morgan????

Worse....I agree with Piers!

A lot!

ARGH the world is ending!

I'm very impressed that you're all resisting the temptation to watch Charlie Brooker's take on Channel 4 and sticking with the sensible channels.

Why do Sunderland feel the need to always be first?

Do they have like 28 voters or something?

Low turnout, geographicaly compact consituency and a history of being first.

Apparently there were queues at quite a lot of polling stations. Not here: place was pretty dead when I voted. Anyone had to queue?

 

[Matthew Best]

I did. Only for a minute or two.

Not at 9am, no: only voter in the place. One very, very lonely Tory party person standing outside.

When BBC went to Bruce Forsyth, I turned over, as even Jimmy Carr began to seem sensible.

Jim Murphy on ITV on the moment; give him a hooded cloak, he'd be a great Grim Reaper.

Think they're trying to compete with Channel 4's comedy anti-election special.

 

[Architect]

Sorry, watching the Scottish coverage on Beeb 1 instead. Gray overlooking the swing against Lab.....

 

[Ashles]

labour win 1st declared

Based on that Labour will win every seat and win an overall absolute majority.

I quite liked Charlie Brooker saying that the first debate increased Nick Clegg's appeal as people realised that, far from being just "the other one" he was, in fact, "neither of those two".

Wasn't he mimicking Clegg's manner when saying that?

People in Sheffield were queueing for three hours and then got turned away; I can understand it if they turned up at 9.50, but if you turn up at 7, straight from work, you really should be able to exercise your franchise.

Police allegedly removing people from that polling station...Robert Mugabe denies responsibility.
