How is everyone going to stay awake during election nights coverage, it usually gets hard going at 3.30am or so. Might have to have a sleep tomorrow afternoon between 2-5pm!!
Anyone else with plans to be at counts etc? |

I shall be up all night, as usual. I won't bother with any sleep until Friday night. When I've had a nap in the afternoon, I have been very confused for the rest of the day

Will try to power through as much of the night as possible, will probably get as far as 6am if previous years are anything to go by. Got three different types of coffee and two different brands of energy drink prepared to keep me buzzing. Thankfully I've got no work until June, so I'll be able to take Friday easy.

I'll be staying up as best I can. South Thanet, Sheffield Hallam and the Brighton seats are the ones I'm gonna try and catch live but I don't think any of them are declaring before sunrise. There will be caffeine.

I shall have the perfect set of snacks and caffeine to last it, determined to last it and it sounds like the tightness will keep me awake anyway. Might draw up a constituency map to colour in as declarations are made, that'll give me a reason to pay attention and stay up (and I find that sort of thing fun).

I don't have work the next day so may be able to watch the whole of it! (or as late as I can at least, dunno if I can last a whole night without sleep!)

There will be caffeine. Think it's 5am when cleggs seat is announced, think he set to win it due to Tory votes. He really pisses me off now - should just join the Tory party. Hope the liberals break up 1920s style with clegg breaking away and The more SDP inclined moving to labour! |

I'm going over to some friends to play the 'General Election Drinking Game'.
Probably start with a bit of C4 Alternative Election night, and then when Sunderland South comes in then commence the 650 constituencies, ending at 4pm on Friday in a wheelbarrow or something (depending on how well the Tories have done). |

Hope the liberals break up 1920s style with clegg breaking away and The more SDP inclined moving to labour! that's like saying I hope the Labour party break up cos Miliband pisses one off, or the Tory Party cos cameron pisses one off. One man does not represent (except temporarily) a whole political movement. Plus, the more SDP inclined left labour when they became tunnel-visioned left-wing and unelectable. Considering he gets stick for trying to fix Labour party policies and Tory party policies that both had b*llicksed up I find the student-hatred a bit stroppy, knee-jerk and illogical. As I've said a million times, Clegg did not run the country, it was a coalition, just as I expect the next government will be because the 2 main parties still have no answers and still accept no blame for the country's situation. The Libdems are not responsible for any of it occurring in the first place, only in having to deal with it. Fact. |
