Nah. I was going to wait for the BBC to report it in the morning. I always fail to understand why my wife insists on staying up late watching the first few results from national elections: if you go to bed you find out what has happened in the morning.

Seriously, I think that leaving the poll open an extra 24 hours is a good idea. It gives anyone who tried to vote and got an error and assumed they had misread the announcement a chance to hear that actually it was a mistake and there is time to vote.

Clearly all those last minute voters were going to vote for me!
