The Vote is under way!

[goldstategop]

The exit polls I think, understate Labour's vote share. If its 38% they're in majority party territory. The worst possible result would be for the extreme leftist Liberal Democrats to play kingmaker in a hung Parliament.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

Freepers fighting over sticky buns?

Labour kept the rose, it's more subdued.

Thanks! Just checked out their homepage: www.labour.org.uk. You're right, it's a wee little red rose stuck down in the lower right hand corner. What's the rose supposed to signify anyway?

[GiveEmDubya]

Labour has record three straight drops in vote share: 5%, 8%, 9%, respectively. Conservatives aren't picking up too many new votes, but in much closer seats, we could see a lot of Tories coming up the middle on the huge Labour drops, if the trend holds. 2001 was not nearly as exciting as this is shaping up to be.

I agree -- I have been sitting here cracking up laughing because they are so humorous with their comments. Talking about the Defense Minister being an invisible man in this campaign.

Not that I'm aware of - you can try the people who own this bookstore:

Food fight- buns are like sweet rolls, with yummy white sugar icing on top.

[Dog]

Oh....thanks.

[MadIvan]

The rose is the symbol of international socialism. Yes, yuk.

Ah, the Member from Little Puking just barfed on the Member from Ploughman's Buggering...

That Chess Board is awesome...we need avatars slaying each other.

When do we get the exit poll data showing who got the Muslim vote?

[PhiKapMom]

Thanks -- I have satellite and watching the BBC. He really gets on the nerves of the others and is one reason I am laughing so hard. He is having a ball!

[Mo1]

Oh oh .. check out the visuals that the BBC has now

oh and the Swingometer is back

[B-Chan]

He looks like the "Cockney Wanker" character in VIZ Magazine. "Ay, now, loove, owzabouwda royde en me mowtaaah?"

[gopwinsin04]

In our country, we cant even get our anchors to admit that exit polls exist.

[B Knotts]

LOL...I like that idea!

[PhiKapMom]

You and me both! Some of these words I have never heard at all. I feel like I at an auction sometimes.
