The official figures have hit. A turnout of 34,915, equalling 50.5%. Quite a significant drop from 2005's total of 67.9%.
Meanwhile the atmosphere at the different party camps is intriguing to say the least.
The labour contingent has the look about them of a man laughing on the way to the gallows. Party members are making no attempt to hide the fact that their deposit seems destined to go the way of the dodo. However their staunch positivity is fascinating.
Meanwhile, Monster Raving Loony Party candidate Peter Owen (Bananaman) is strolling amongst the counters as if it's completely normal to have a novelty inflatable atop one's head. He said that he wanted to make sure no-one was cheating his party out of a win. Loony? Defintely. Entertaining? Undoubtably.
To all those staying with us into the early hours, apologies if our blog can't match the frantic pace you would like. Fast blogging with the internet connection available is as easy as swimming through peanut-butter.

Look, it's gone one in the morning and we're having serious caffeine shakes.

Been there and done that as the Lib Dem Agent for Harborough in 2001. Can well imagine that a good night's sleep sounds really essential at the moment.
