Well, it's into the final stretch of the beeb's coverage of the election and we're now on commentary team number 4 for the election show, with a couple of campaign bods for Libdems & the Conservatives though the Labour rep is the Labour Chairman Hazel Blears (I'm surprised that she's out for this one - perhaps Labour wanted a strong personality to fight back if they were getting beaten up in the polls?).
In terms of voting, 29 of the 60 seats in the assembly are decided. Considering this was supposed to be a disasterous night for Labour, then it's certainly not living up to the hype. Labour have so far lost a massive 2 seats. Wowzers.
Even on the national scale, it does appear that this is a bit of a disapointment. The SNP are ahead in Scotland, but only just and it certainly doesn't appear that they're barnstorming ahead as was predicted. The Conservatives have made around a one percent gain in the popular vote, but so have Labour.
This is a little bit like staying up late to watch a big title boxing match, and then getting a knockout in the first round.
