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

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

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.

nope

It appears that there is 20 votes between the two candidates

But that the numbers didn't tally with the total votes case

so they have to start again
