This election is brought to you by Michael Bay

Plane crashes! Fisticuffs! Queuing! Yes, it's election day, and my, what a day it's been already.

Much as I regard UKIP and it's policies with distaste, I would never wish an incident like the one Nigel Farage experienced today. My best wishes are with him and the pilot, and hopes for a speedy recovery. See, I'm not making any jokes about his support crashing or anything. I'm the very model of grown up self control.

The dirty little street brawl on the part of BNP candidate Bob Bailey invokes an entirely different set of emotions with me. I suppose it was bound to happen at some point - and I'm thankful no serious injuries or larger scale violence surged in the wake of the bilious nonsense the BNP spout. 

Reports are also coming in of polling stations positively bustling with voters, indicating a much heftier turnout that the shameful one seen in recent elections. An end to voter apathy? It's a shame it's taken such monumental buffoonery on the part of the political process to get people all fired up.

More later as the results come in...
