It's the day we've all been waiting for. Tonight, I'll be arriving at the Pearson Centre in Beeston, Broxtowe at about 21.30 for the official count and the night of results.
I've got a list of all the things I need to take with me, which roughly includes a load of instructions and paperwork from Sky News, some food (I've no idea how long I'll be there for), and my spare battery for my BlackBerry which I bought the other day.
This will probably be one of the most exciting nights of my life. Its my ambition to be a broadcast political correspondent, and this is about the closest I've got to it so far. We've been advised to try and get some sleep today so that we're alert as possible for tonight. Firstly, I find it very difficult to nap during the day, and secondly, I'm far too excited.
I may not be able to blog directly tonight, but I am hoping to update my twitter account (@broxtoweresults) as often as I can throughout the night, giving you all the inside information for Broxtowe, a seat which, who knows, could be key in finding out who can form a government tomorrow morning.
Are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin.

Good luck! I hear they're talking about declaring around 3am, so you might have a long night...
ReplyDeleteThanks very much! Yep, declaration is expected at around 3am - although anything can happen on election night. Recounts etc. Keep up to date with the tweets!
ReplyDeleteOK, so where are the Broxtowe results?
