    not really, it's a very strong seat, so there was no real incentive for people to vote labour for tactical reasons

    It depends how close it is, as to when we find out who has won.

    In the past Northern Ireland has counted their votes the following day, but they're doing them over night this year.

    most results tend to come in between mifnight and 3,

    Yep. It's a surprise and a big dissappointment for UUP who would have thought they should have benefitted.

    BBC is scoring as they come in as fact, ITV is doing it off the bat as rumour. I'm not watching it now, sick of hearing the same drabble. Think I'll go sleep.
