Labour home not blogging...., I guess they'll all be down the pub drowning their sorrows. Let's pray the electorate give them what they deserve.... a MEGA kick in the ARSE

Archbishop Cranmer said...

His Grace shall be in bed.

It is not a matter of disinterest, but affirmation that the outcome is somewhat fore-ordained.

The Conservative Party will do marvellously; Labour will be in meltdown; and the SNP will win a slight edge in Holyrood, but insufficient to divide the kingdom.

Nighty night.

God, there's a Labour blogger left. Unbelievable. Where has he been since '97?

Frida it is then, Martin:)

Tartan Hero said...

Last poll from the Daily Telegraph has the SNP with a 6% lead in the constituencies and 5% in the regional list... Scotland is heading for change, and Brown is heading for a bruising. Hope to be blogging all through polling day, the Glasgow count and again on Friday during the local government count. Will this be the first election to be blogged in such depth?

Blamerbell said...

Oh, and by the way there are many more live blogging it in Wales. We may not have a proper parliament but the blogosphere has really taken off.

You can see the comments in my post for all the details...

But Iain, I'm sure Vaughan would have thought he and Betsan would be on your favourites already !!

I must take my hat off to you being willing to put a link to Chris 'post in triplicate and they'll get the message' Paul when he is less than complimentary about you sometimes..

And with Man Utd out of the Champions League, what else can go wrong this week..

Does anybody know if the BBC will be covering the local elections, thereby avoiding the need to visit a myriad of boring and probably inaccurate websites waiting ages for them to refresh?

Indigo Public Affairs will be blogging throughout Friday as the results come in during the day. We start at about 7am and at least half of the results will come during Friday.

Chris Paul said...

Iain and Guido's friend Alex is reviewing blog news to camera on the Beeb and would appreciate tipoffs if you have something good and want a mention to alexhilton@gmail.com ...

He's also asked Labour bloggers to keep blogs running on www.labourhome.org and it may be worth checking in there too.

Huw said...

Iain,

I have a Welsh blog, however I have had an invitation to the 'Senedd' in Cardiff Bay by the BBC, and will attempt to blog from inside in both Welsh and English with photographs.

I'm a Quebecer and I've covered in live blogging the election in French at http://liberlogos.spaces.live.com/

A number of Quebecois, especially within our indepdendence movement, look at the present Scottish events with great interest. Feel free to leave comments on my blog in English or French!
