And the north has always been so important to Labour, right?

bbfan1991 06-05-2010 10:31 PM

Some still queuing to vote or cannot do it:shocked:.

setanta 06-05-2010 10:32 PM

Are they standing there for no reason at this stage? Surely the voting stations are closed now, right?

setanta 06-05-2010 10:38 PM

How does it work in Britain? Is it proportional representation?

No, no; I understand that. Just wondering how they hand out the seats and if it's according to population. I mean, does London have a shi% load of seats to hand out?
