You do the whole thing in 6 weeks so you must count the votes in 15-20 minutes.
The polls don't close for another hour, so the first result won't be expected until about an hour after that (the Houghton and Sunderland South constituency is traditionally the first to announce). We should probably know for certain by about 6am, with the last result predicted to come in around 1pm tomorrow from St Ives. This is a particularly close election, so the actual result might not be clear until towards the end; and the post-poll arguing and dissection could go on for a while.
Not sure what the exit polls are saying.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
