Remember this man? In 1964, Bob McKenzie took over the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s election night programme swingometer - and loved it. The coverage on TV and radio has become a bit of a tradition over the years, but now the Sunday Times is reporting that as many as a quarter of local authorities could end up holding their counts on Friday - which of course would mean - no late night results on Thursday.

What do you think? Are you a fan of election night? Or do you think it's more sensible to stage what are at times crucial counts, when the staff are alert and awake and party activists aren't exhausted after weeks of campaigning?
