He can't have a clean sheet because his supporters want that.

Yes and that silly peice of paper, the fact the tories dined out on that for the last few weeks even though debunked by their own advisers speaks volumes...
We have nothing to base him as a PM on if you want to be specific.

We have nothing to base his performance as a PM on, no. But we can speculate as to that performance based on his PAST performance in other jobs with responsibility, which has frankly been dire. That's how we choose people for jobs, looking at what they've done in the past and how they've performed.

That silly piece of paper was left by Labour. They thought it was funny. Says more about them than anything this election has thrown up.

Good luck on your election tonight. Hopefully you get a good results and the the ones who deserve to be successful will be successful (whoever that is, i don´t know). Also hope that you get a good and stable government that will make good decisions, be stable and thus sit through the whole government period without much hitches.

Remember to vote! It´s your right to do so.

P.S I might look it myself at some point, if it doesn´t clash with the WCH matches tonight.

[Calderyon]

Oh yeah, and hopefully your voting goes accordingly and the one who you vote, does good.

You can speculate all you like, if we were to investigate the dealings of Mr Cameron and the Chipping Norton set what would we find?... Not to mention the dodgy deals of Shapps and Hunt, the threats and lies from BOJO and the human rights violations of IDS :/
The devisive desperation that exudes each time that letter surfaces IS funny.
We're not going to agree so I don't see the point of continuing this conversation in all honesty.

I suppose the difference is that I don't think the Tories can do no wrong and that Labour can do no right. There is good and bad in everyone unless you have blinkers on. So I guess no, we're never going to agree on this.

IT glitch causes voting problems in east London and Dorset

My colleague Rajeev Syal reports that voters in parts of east London and Dorset have been told that IT glitches meant they were not registered on the electoral roll, despite many having polling cards.

Also, some Britons who live abroad have complained that postal votes have arrived too late to guarantee they can exercise their democratic rights. Rajeev writes:

Another marginal... how long before #fix trends?

The polls open in Josy's housing estate. Tensions run high as the foodbank has run out of Buckfast..

And you presume I think Labour has done no wrong? No that is not correct.

hmmmmmm...


More than 480 postal ballot papers have been sent out without the names of the Green and Labour Party candidates.
Labour's Karl Turner and the Green Party's Sarah Walpole were not on the list for the Hull East constituency.
Hull City Council confirmed a printing error had affected a batch of papers and said the mistake affected people who registered to vote after 1 April.
A council spokesman apologised for an "inadvertent mistake" and said the matter was being investigated.
Ian Anderson, the council's acting returning officer for the general elections, said: "We are printing and sending out a new batch of postal votes for those residents who are affected.

I guess if I'd ever seen one negative post from you about Labour I might not have reached that conclusion, but the clue has been in the words.

Best if we discuss the election though for now mind.

Back to Darlington, it has been confirmed that a Ukip candidate was missed off ballot papers sent to a polling station in the constituency.

Ukip’s David Hodgson was not included on the electoral forms, a spokesman for Darlington Borough Council says.

Around 89 ballot papers - 0.1% of the total number of ballot papers printed - had been handed out to voters before the issue was flagged and corrected

Darlington’s Ukip candidate David Hodgson has told the Northern Echo his omission from a batch of ballot papers has “knocked me sick”.

He told the paper:

It’s shocking - absolutely terrible and inexcusable. I understand the Ukip office has been informed and will be lodging a protest.

I don’t know what happenened but surely some law has been breached. I’ve not got a clue what happens now but I’m guessing the only way to resolve it is for it to be re-run

God no, I don't want you to compile a list.

This is all part of an election discussion, of course. Because the general election includes the parties we're discussing. I'm sure you already know that, mind.

How late into the night/morning will the results still be coming in? Or at least until we have a general idea of who has "won"?

Would like to watch it happen if it doesn't involve missing sleep altogether

They'll come in through the night but the most interesting results will be coming in between about 2am and 7am like Clegg's seat will be about 4.30am and the one Farage is running for at 6am. By then we should also have a decent idea of how all the seats have fallen
