Nothing can be reported on the day until the polls close to avoid influencIng the voting. You can imagine a mid way poll suggesting an outcome and people no longer bothering to vote.

Why no exit polls then? One of the things I'll never forget about the General Election is walking out of the pub after watching us win through to the Play Off Final last year and - before I got back to the car - the exit poll came out on the dot of 10pm to correctly predict the outcome. No need to wait up all night.
I'd completely forgotten that the 2 events coincided....the mood in the pub, changed from a sort of disbelief from the match some of us had been to, to a sort of disbelief we were going to be lumbered with a Tory government. |

Election coincided with first leg at Sheffield? Already in the grip of a Tory second term come the 5-5 at home. |

Yes. The first leg was on the Thursday night - Election Day. |

In 25 years of voting in the same polling station I have never been in such a queue to vote before. Would be great if that was reflected in the national turnout. A big turnout and a clear majority (either way) might just help the fallout not be too damaging.

I didn't vote (for obvious reasons).
But if I did, I think I would have voted out. For no other reason than to stick two fingers up at those that were suggesting that an out vote was equal to bigotry.
