So do Sunderland run the country at the moment?

I really hope it is a hung Parliament because we Yanks can recycle all those jokes about being unable to govern themselves that we heard from the Brits during the 2000 election fiasco.

Am I the only person who actually likes Lord Mandelson?

No, Lord Mandelson does too.

ETA: Oh, and Satan

 

[Matthew Best]

I know you've all been waiting for this: the Election Night Come Dine With Me Result is in!

Derek Hatton: 16
Edwina Currie: 18
Rod Liddle: 17
Brian Paddick: 16

Which means a narrow victory for the Conservatives.

Who would have thought Come Dine With Me would be an accurate weather vane?

 

[Fiona]

No, Lord Mandelson does too.

ETA: Oh, and Satan

neither of these are provably human.

I don't think that was because it was a close vote, though, so much as because it became a farce of counting hanging chads and whatnot.

Satan does try.

Parliment is not actualy required to govern the UK.

There's a group who are going to wear black tomorrow if the conservatives get in.

 

[Fiona]

Some of us will be seeking some way of leaving the country

Now on Channel 4, Brian Cox is explaining politics. (He's like a walking, talking Stephen Hawking.)

I heard people talking about that on twitter. There's a very large facebook group claiming they will riot if they get in.

Regardless of the result I will keep calm and carry on.

I do not think people will riot if the tories win the election: I think they might riot once they have been in for while though: they won't have anything left to lose

I'll be more like my avatar.

I have just had a text from a friend who lives in Sheffield Hallam, they are blocking the roads to stop the ballot boxes going to the count because they were queueing from 6pm and didn't get to vote. This is not Zimbabwe!
