The Vote is under way!
Guildford ? I guess the full time residents beat out the college crowd !
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 seems about right.
pr maybe preferential voting, as in Australia
Labour 274 (-20), Conservative 76 (+13), LibDems 32 (+5), Scottish National 6 (+2), Plaid Cymru 2 (-1), Independent 2 (+1) (392/646 reporting)
AND the Conservatives held Eastbourne, contradicting Lib Dem claims...
Tory majority in Guildford of only 347 (0.7%)
Hey, we won Hammersmith and Fulham!
That's a lot less than the exit poll projected 100 seat loss
TORY GAIN HAMMERSMITH & FULHAM! GREG HANDS IS NOW MP!
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.
Is that the district for young Mr. Hands?
Okay...what's "MP"? ;-)
Member of Parliament
He'll make a fine addition to the newly-expanded Tory benches.
Regards, Ivan
Member of Parliament (same as a House Representative)
Yes indeed!
