The voting systems are different than a general election - you need to count and computate mayoral preferences and also the formula for distributing the Assembly Londonwide seats. Hence it takes longer. Also, democracy takes time. As Nick Robinson said on BBC 10 O'Clock News, "the counting has gone on longer than expected, because far more people than expected have voted." Surely a fact to celebrate, even in a rather tired states?

[Nick responds: I knew that there would be someone who pulled me up on my desire to get this over with. And of course, I should have known, it would be for a strong support of PR! I bet your nemesis - Frank Dobson - is not sitting up celebrating the virtues of this system!

I think you have just shamed me into staying up!]

Thanks for working so hard Nick. Good to see the BNP have had their bums bitten this time around. I'll be keeping my gnashers nice and sharp for the next bout. Well done to everybody who has supported this brilliant campaign. Down with fascism and racism. Down with the BNP.

And down with the misguided souls that support them. R*d L*dd*e and T*lksp*rt radio to name but two of their organs of publicity.
