Turnout estimates

Just as the rain started falling the ballot boxes started really flying in and the count is well and truly underway.

After 6 boxes a turnout estimation has been made at 55%, a 12.9% drop from 2005. Of course this isn't the final figure, but it appears the aggressive politics on show may have served to dissuade those 'on the fence' voters. Bad news for the Tories? Time will tell.

The hall is now a hive of rosettes and clipboards as the necessarily meticulous counting process takes place. Fingers are crossed that everything goes to plan and recounts don't lead to the red-eyed early hours.

How far behind the BNP are Labour?

Officially we haven't a clue, but the party spokesman seems confident they can knock Labour into fourth place. Who knows?

All will soon become clear...
