Cross-party solidarity

Post categories:

Nick Robinson | 02:56 UK time, Friday, 5 May 2006

All change on set.

Those of us paid by the ±«Óãtv sit here all night, but the politicians come and go, popping into different broadcasting outlets - ±«Óãtv telly and radio, Sky, GMTV, etc etc.

There's a touching solidarity between people of different parties forced to stay up all night.

Being a student, I'm somewhat familiar with staying up all night for things - it amazes me how you all keep going!

Did ±«Óãtv One go off-air everywhere or was it just online?

On a political note, it's actually emotionally painful to see the BNP get as many seats as the Green party. One party has such a compassionate doctrine at heart, even if it is the only doctrine they possess, whereas the other is almost from the other end of the spectrum.
Anyways I'm gonna fecth more wine and hope the TV returns when I get back

Excellent coverage so far, good to see Labour's getting a bit of a pasting. Very much deserved.

It's also quite amusing watching you sneakily entering notes on your laptop Nick!

what would be nice would be if the studio politicians and other guests would come on the blog and chat with us (almost) live for a few minutes or longer.

perhaps the bbc or at least your team could arange that and make some realtime take to the people on a regular slot.

if they arent ready to come on as themselves, id settle for annon realtime posting from them in the knowlage that at least they are getting some form of feedback from the real users that might never get to put their points across in the real/their world circles.

I am not a racist and would never vote for the BNP; however:

I was once housed by Octavia housing and care where the disrepair was so bad; that after many ignored attempts to get MPs and counsellors to assist in resolving problems - I was left with no alternative but to get Intentionally Evicted to be rehoused:

This was something that I didn't want to have to enter into lightly especially considering my baby was 1 at the time and my partner was pregnant!

Throughout this time my borough and its neighbouring council were giving priority to Asylum seekers - sadly; this whole event has made me bitter toward them and I now completely understand why people might vote BNP!

Its about time that we stopped hearing how MPS need to be better in tough and they started getting in touch!
