Aren't elections funny? A bit like Christmas or birthdays, you look forward to it so much and then are rather taken by surprise when it turns out to be a day like any other. In fact, apart from the UKIP plane crash, there hasn't been very much election news.
I'm aiming to stay up until 3:30 as original predictions suggested loads of results around then, but turnout has been so high that I think it'll be later than that. I don't think I can stay up any later than 3:30 and still function tomorrow.
The whole people-not-being-able-to-vote thing is very disappointing, what an awful shame. But there's some happy news too: let's just take a moment to pause and reflect on the fact that at this very moment, the UK Parliament consists entirely of women. 100%. Okay, that's just three people, but isn't it exciting?
