Well, you are right. I also like making the candidates wear those big rosettes. It is silly enough looking that it deflates their importance.

That's a lot less than the exit poll projected 100 seat loss

Do you have a returning officer that annouces the result

No. Usually representatives from the candidates watch the counting at the precinct level and report the tallies to election HQs well before there is any official determination. Results, in fact, are not even certified as official for weeks.

If we get a hung Parliament, we'll have our chance to see what proportional representation does.
