The Vote is under way!

[TheBigB]

Any word on your fellow, Hands?

[MadIvan]

Too early for the results from Hammersmith and Fulham. I'll keep watch on it.

I liked Iain Duncan Smith. But, what do I know...I'm an American. :-)

[processing please hold]

Fulham -

That name sounds familiar, is that a muslim district or a persons name?

[Canard]

Interesting that the spread betters are still trading at a higher majority figure than the exit poll suggests(73-80 currently showing). They did go lower but look like they've had some money for a higher majority.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Are these trends going to hold or is there any chance of things getting tighter?

[MadIvan]

I liked IDS too. However he never really got much of a chance - the media burned the poor fellow.

Regards, Ivan

[MadIvan]

Fulham is my patch of earth in London. :) It's a district and not Muslim!

Regards, Ivan

[MadIvan]

I think we have to keep in mind that there are going to be local factors at play - so we'll see above average or below average swings in some constituencies based upon the quality (or lack thereof) of the candidates.

The Beeb is showing it's anti-Americanism again.

Thank you. :-)

[MadIvan]

Switch on Sky if you lot can...they're promising the best coverage anyway.

[disgruntledinCa]

Yeah, I noticed that. Glad they didn't disappoint. It only took 20 minutes to get back to doing what they LOVE to do....

[HonestConservative]

Like the former Dan Rather?

[Jim Noble]

Fulham is my patch of earth in London

Anywhere near St. Dunstan's Road?

[MadIvan]

Well Fulham is SW6 - St. Dunstan's Road is W6. :)

Sean just announced Labour lost.

Sean also said that the mini-bomb blast in Manhatten this morning was proof we need to control the borders. He appears to work hard and he's a pretty boy, but not terribly bright IMHO.

[ScaniaBoy]

Douglas Hurd on BBC World just now pontificating on how much better the Tories would have done if they had voted against the Iraq war.

He is an excellent illustration of why the Tories have been out of power for the last 8 years.

[MadIvan]

Douglas Hurd can sit way in the back of the room. He is a bloody fool.
