Most of the comments on here predate the results, the first comment from today is Tim Prater's. Most of us are paying more attention to Alix's actual blog. http://fabulousblueporcupine.wordpress.com/2008/05/01/bbc-elections-2008-live-blog/ Can't see any schoolchildren, although the spoof Akehurst blogger is only patchily amusing.

Previously it was Lab (14), Lib Dem (120, Tory (10), and Lib (4, permanently so?) Two Tory gains from Lab and one Lib Dem gain ditto. I think it is now 13 (Lib Dem), 12 (Con) 11 (Lab) and 4 (Lib).

Talking to us as if we were complete idiots. The BBC have really dummed down for this election night. Stop irritating us with stupid gimmicks and just give us the facts. We are not three year olds. We do not need stupid sets to get a point across. Just grow up and treat us as adults. We don't need all this. A lot of us are tuning in because we are angry with what this Government have done to us. Don't irritate us even more. Wish to complain about Jeremy Vine on Election Night.

If they're all LD seats (which they probably aren't) then it'll only take losing 11 of them for LDs to lose control. “Breaking news – Watford will be a LD hold!
