whoohoooo!!! Here we go!
Although I'm a British citizen, I'm currently living in Canada so I'm missing out on all the election fun. I'm writing this at 9.00 am on Thurday May 5th, so in the UK the polls are about to close. Here, it's a lovely sunny morning, and I'm looking forward to the results coming out this afternoon, and maybe having a beer or two to celebrate or drown my sorrows (and probably both). Does anybody know of a good site to get live updates on election results? I've found Page Not Found | The Guardian, just wondered if there are any others! Whoohooooo!!!

i'm supporting the tories in this election, of course! That's why I added a "class war" avatar a few days ago. I'm on the side of the capitalist robber barons

Well, it seems I "LOST" once again.
god i hate Uk citizens. I hate them so very, very much. what kind of scumbag would vote labour or conservative? A person with no ethics, no political imagination, a person who is willing to sit on their nestegg, on their quadruple-mortgaged house, and complain about getting mugged, complain about those nasty dark-skinned immigrants, go to work 9-5 every fucking day of their worthless lives - and what is worse - enjoy it! And go to the ballot box to perpetuate it! Fuck'em At the end of the day, you deserve the stupid shitty government that you voted for That's the last time I defend democracy. Democracy is too good for you scumbags. Enjoy your mortgages, plush jobs, extra-marital affairs and fear of crime. Quiver underneath the quilt when you're woken at night by a strange noise. Quiver away, you bastards. This message has been edited by mick, 05-05-2005 10:54 PM

what kind of scumbag would vote labour or conservative? One who doesn't have an Official Monster Raving Loony candidate to vote for 09/04/05 - Sharks attacked 30/04/05 - Wasps swatted 14/05/05 - More of the same ?

Sorry about that everybody,
Once every four years I slip into a slightly self-indulgent misanthropy, which lasts for about two days, and then disappears... When I was a teenager I was like that all the time! Mick

I see that George Galloway won. How do you think this would affect the parliament?
