I did try Lucia, but my husband was asleep. I felt abit lonely so I went back to bed. Then this morning he told me that he had woken up and gone in to watch it . I could have sat a bit longer, and waited! No, I couldnt, I would have fallen asleep in the chair. It is exciting to watch isnt it? Deanna

I was on and off. I went to bed at midnight but woke up again at 4 and got back to sleep at 5! Dead tired today though!

Lucia - what do you say to them lowering the age to 16 or 17 to vote? This comes up all the time, but was just wondering about your opinion. Do you think most of your age group or above are mature enough to vote?

Hi Chloe, Well if I could vote I would! I think a lot of people my age are not interested in politics, although some people I know are. I think they should lower the voting because at 16 you can get married and play the lottery so why not? Lucia :-) BTW, Who did you vote for and who won your constituency?

I voted Lib Dem, but the Tories won again in this constituency (Hampshire East). Grrrr dislike Michael Mates intensely! I can see your point about lowering the voting age. I would be the same as you if I were younger (I'm 22). You have to pay tax at 16, so why not be able to vote?

There is no lower age limit on paying tax. Its just that most kids don't make enough money to pay tax Paula

I would vote Lib dem if I could vote. I think they are better than the other parties. In the constituency where I live (Angus) the SNP won with the Tories in second(the same as last election). SNP seem to win because there is not a lot of rural parts in Angus. All the farmers vote for the Tories. Lucia :-)
