Which UK election night ritual would you rank as the most essential?
Election night in Britain is basically a national sleepover with worse snacks and better graphics. From swingometers to sausage rolls, which ritual truly makes the long night worthwhile?
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
The Swingometer
That giant colourful dial swooshing between parties has been hypnotising insomniac voters for decades. Nothing says 'democracy' quite like a professor gesturing wildly at a graphic.
B
The Portillo Moment
That electric second when a big-name politician loses their safe seat and the whole studio audibly gasps. Cathartic, unforgettable, and endlessly meme-able.
C
Weird Candidates at the Count
Nothing grounds a Prime Minister quite like standing on stage next to a man dressed as a bin. Truly the great British equaliser.
D
Exit Poll at 10pm Sharp
That Big Ben bong followed by a number that either delights or devastates half the country. Better than any drama on telly.
E
Sleep-Deprived Presenters
Watching seasoned broadcasters slowly lose their grip on syllables as dawn approaches is peak British television. Coffee cups everywhere, ties askew.
