Getting up again (stuff on my mind, 0% of it to do with any election

effort wasting debacle changes again?

Labour always get more seats earlier on since they tend to have urban
constituencies whereas the tories have the rural ones.

Makes sense.

(massive generalisation of course - look how early the Caithness etc one
declared...)

Sure, but looking at the map that does seem to be the case:

What's not clear is, with only 5 seats to go, why Kensington hasn't
declared. It's a safe Tory seat so unlikely to have multiple
recounts and there are no logistical issues with getting the ballot
boxes to the count. Perhaps they have a lie in and don't bother to
count overnight :-)

seems I was wrong

5th recount

I wonder if it's an argument about who came second. That has happened
before - caused a bit of panic at HQ because it was just a bare report
on the telly, until they found out it was to confirm second place.


Tail ender trying to save their deposit ?
