Poll: *** 2010 General Election Result & Discussion ***

[Flibster]

Jesus.. 11.6% swing.

 

[Rabid Wolf]

How very British. In Greece they'd be rioting and setting fire to things.

The British way is to queue in a orderly fashion.

 

[Robbo]

Oooh er missus. Let's drill down Emily!

The Conservative swing in both Sunderland results makes worrying reading for Labour HQ.

[apeZ]

So, my question got missed a few pages back:

What sort of time should we expect to have a good idea on the turnout?

 

[Talbs13]

What do you mean?
We should have the majority of the seats called by 5am but it can go on much later.
10am and we should know our next PM for sure - though there is another seat that's not having its vote until a few weeks.

 

[G-MAN2004]

Can someone explain the swing to me please? Why exactly is it such a good thing for the Tories, if Labour got the seat anyway?

Who knows? They usually weigh them and give us a rough value very quickly. But they can't apparently as they're fuller than usual or something.
