Some people stay up all night to watch and find out the final outcome...never understood why they do not just go to sleep and find out in the morning?
I guess they like to watch it build. Take it all in as it happens. The fun is in the event, not just the result. Some people are really into politics. I totally get it.
It's like asking why set your alarm to watch the Grand Prix early, when you could just find out the result when you wake up. It's not a perfect analogy, but you get the idea lol.

You can say that about lots of things though. Why watch a football match or GP when you can find out the result afterwards on line? Randy Winkman said:

I like the drama and discussion as it happens - a bit like watching a football match live with commentators rather than watching the highlights the day after narrated by someone who watched the highlights then recorded the commentary.Also it is a chance to s

Cutrent seat is Conservative, first time ever I think at the last election previouapy being a garanteed Labourseat. However she's not standing again. The Labour candidate has good profile saying the right things, with some good ideas. There is a Conservative replacement but apart from one flier thorough the door months ago there's been nada, so I assume the hierarchy of the party have just decided to concede defeat with the seat.
I voted not bothering. Can't vote for the Cons after the way things have went, but don't feel like Labour are capable of running the country either. Just something about Starmer that doesn't gel with me.
Vote for your Labour candidate who is “saying the right things, with some good ideas”. Isn’t that what you want from your constituency MP? I voted not bothering. Can't vote for the Cons after the way things have went, but don't feel like Labour are capable of running the country either. Just something about Starmer that doesn't gel with me.

There's a rich seam of schadenfreude to be mined from watching MPs rejected by their electorate having to give concession speeches. I watched Portillo go in '97, I expect there may be more tories getting their marching orders tonight. I'll also be enjoying the SNP being depleted.
The Liz Truss concession speech will be the one to watch - it'll be like something out of The Exorcist.She'll step up to the microphone, open her mouth to speak but instead of words what will emerge will be a high-pressure stream of boiling liquid similar in colour and consistency to pea and ham soup, and as her head starts a series of complete 360 degree revolutions on her shoulders thus soaking everything in a 30 foot radius, her eyes will roll backwards in their sockets to revealing inky black voids. Finally, a pit will open at her feet belching sulphurous smoke into which Truss will slowly descend, returning back from whence she came.
Cutting back to the studio, straight to Sir John Curtice nodding and saying "Well, this is turning into something of a pattern, it being the third demonic manifestation from a deposed high-profile Tory tonight, after Jacob Rees-Mogg's transformation into Astaroth at the results for North-East Somerset, and Priti Patel unexpectedly taking the form of a Philippine Manananggal goul and biting the head off the returning officer in Witham".

If the Tories can’t win a poll on Pistonheads then I don’t think they’re going to win one out in the real world!
Was just thinking exactly the same

The '97 election is notable for various moments
