A better view from the gallery
I had this idea the other day. Obviously, I'm going to be watching the coverage of the general election in May (presuming it does happen [actually, it would be quite funny if he didn't call it for another year, but I don't think that's going to happen]), and an election party shall be had! But also, we could do a few things to make it a bit more interesting, like sweepstakes on various outcomes. The obvious ones would be how many seats each party is going to get; by what majority a government will be held etc. But we could have other random ones like how many times politicians say certain jargon words throughout the night or how many times we go to Peter Snow's Swingometer! Ooh, lots of fun to be had! I am such a geek.
Current number of seats held by the 3 major parties:
Labour 408
Conservative 162
Lib Dem 55

Ooh, yeah! I can get all excited about this and then spend the entire night asleep on the sofa!
Indeed! We'll have to ply you with caffeine all night to keep you awake this time.
Anyway, UK general elections are much more interesting than US presidential elections; you get the returning officer reading out the results - a lot more exciting!
Geeks! (count me in, i like seeing how fast that ward in Sunderland can confirm Labour have won there)
Yeah count me in too.
Does anyone here doubt a labour victory? I just can't see them losing... !
Hmmm, not really, no. But I think the Tories will win quite a few seats back. What betting on a hung parliament? The Lib Dems would have to perform amazingly well too.
