How do they do it in the States then?

The different sides rent a hall or fill a bar & wait for the election returns. When it looks like a winner has been determined the loser calls & concedes.

[Miss Marple]

Once the results come in, they are posted on the web site. Once a winner looks like a certainty, the loser comes out and makes a concession speech from his headquarters, then the winner comes out from HIS headquarters and makes a victory speech. Third parties are ignored.

At no time are ALL parties gathered together in one place, as we see in your election. I like yours better, as it makes it more human and humbles everyone while they listen to the vote counts.
