Sorry to mention Newport East again - never thought it would take over my blog - but Lib Dems think they may just have missed out. Mr German will be... well what? Disappointed or ever so slightly relieved?

Hey. A result!!

Do concentrations of students in Arfon (Bangor), Swansea, and Cardiff make an apparent difference in the overall voting turnouts and ultimately party bias?

A 49% Arfon turnout seems very respectable does it not, given that Students have been actively encouraged to vote here in Bangor.

Worrying result in the list vote in the Vale of Clwyd, quite a strong, but fortunately still, minor vote for the BNP. I think all the democratic parties need to re emphasise how dangerous this party is.

Daniel, don't worry, what should happen is that you get put on the register if your 18th Birthday falls in the life time of the register. It should have your birthday against it, sometimes this doesn't happen. But it is normal for 17 year olds to be on the register.

Finally. We wait hours for the results, and we get a batch of six at once.

The joys of election night.
