Did mine at about 10.15...after panicking because I couldn't find my polling card!

Just got back from mine; went independent in the end. None of the local Libservatour candidates warrant my vote...

Straight old fashioned Labour Tory split here. Our MP is a tosser but no choice when faced with a credible tory threat. Tactical Labour vote here, tarnished with a blend of guilt and disappointment. Tactical voting?! Go and flagellate yourself right now, young man! Not done lightly nor without guilt. My final decision was based on the hope that there is still a shred of decency somewhere among the Labour party alongside the definite knowledge that a Tory mp could be partly in position because i had wasted the chance to vote against them. The decision sucks because the system sucks but for me the tactical vote is the most sensible play of the cards we're dealt. Also there is a bnp candidate here which in itself requires some form of unified left. Interesting election but still quite soul destroying.

CAV is second only to Labour in our poll. He will form a coalition and reign supreme!

Let's all laugh at the Tories! ;D If they can't get an overall majority now, with any luck they never will!

What a fascinating evening and it's still not decided.
No one did as well as they expected,
Clegg can climb into bed with anyone he wants,
Gordon still wants to rule with a Lib coalition even though they still won't have majority share
Scotland will want independence as the majority party has only come fourth in their elections and yet they will still be ruled by them,
Peter Robinson got screwed over by his wife yet again but this time in political terms and this may have a knock on effect for the power sharing agreement in NI,
The polling system showing its weaknesses and stupid tossers turning up too late to vote without their polling cards and identification leading to people who couldn't vote,
And Nick Griffin is still a c*nt.

David Cameron would've had an open goal here but for Gordon Brown's decent handling of the recession; as it is, Brown merely fouled Cameron in the box. This election was a straightforward penalty for Cameron, and he hit the post and let Nick Clegg clear the rebound.

It's the biggest swing since 1931. The Conservatives have over 2 million more votes than Labour. It's been a good result for the Conservatives overall and Cameron will become PM after a few days of negotiations.

It's been a good result for the Conservatives overall and Cameron will become PM after a few days of negotiations. ;D Try again! These election results show to me that the public have no confidence in a Tory party, not no confidence in Brown. Labour have got 100 more seats than most media outlets were forecasting. They've held off Lib Dems and haven't capitulated to the Conservatives. That suggests two potential things to me: a) voters have no confidence in Cameron/Tories or b) Brown hasn't lost as many people as the media portray. Logically, the Conservatives should've stormed to victory simply because they weren't Brown. Yet, it seems Labour are performing well in spite of Brown...or could that be because of Brown? Either way, I'm pretty chipper!

Clegg has just interviewed and said he believes the party with the biggest share of seats deserves to govern in a coalition.

I'd go for a Lib/Lab coalition if purely for the economy's sake. I'd rather have Darling and Cable working on getting us out of recession than little Gideon Osborne.
I know it's not going to happen but maybe if Gordon stepped to one side for the good of his party then the country may believe they're is a possibility of change but with an element of exisiting stability?

That's all well and good - but you and I both know CAV that the Tories aren't in favour of electoral reform. So that rules them out. If Cameron was to now change his position he'd look a bigger prick than normal. In my mind the most stable coalition would be Labour - Lib Dems.
