Late on. Think West belfast is usually first round 2am.

The main event is North/South Belfast at 3am.

It takes a while to drive ballot boxes from the Moy and Teemore to Omagh leisure centre so Fermanagh South Tyrone usually last at 4am.

When Colum and Claire go to westminister and don't stop Brexit for the north will westminister be exposed as a myth for nationalists?

That's the point I would have - Colm always talking about he will stop Brexit.  If elected, and I think he'll win and Brexit goes ahead in whatever form, he'll have egg on his face.

So if Eastwood is elected and Boris wins with a handsome majority there will be egg on Eastwood's face. Do you have the slightest clue how parliamentary democracy works?? Maybe best all round if you don't answer that

That's what he said - vote for me (Eastwood) and I'll stop Brexit. 

Do you have the slightest clue?  You mean...wait...he's telling porkies!!!

If she finishes 3rd it really will be a disaster for the Doops in the south of the city.

The turnout figures in Nationalist areas of North Belfast at 5pm are off the scale.  Whatever happens tonight, John Finucane has mobilised the electorate here in a way unseen since the 1980's.  He appeals to all classes and is getting votes right across the divide.

If Finucane unseated Dodds I think you could be potentially looking at the next leader of SF.

Suzanne Breen was saying the DUP could lose 3 seats and win 1
That would be something .

Final predictions.

North down - DUP
FST - SF
Foyle - SDLP
South Belfast - SDLP
North Belfast - SF, just.

Do they count overnight in the north? I assumed they wouldn't be counted until the morning. This could be a long night.

They're counting tonight in the north, aye.

Labour flooding activists into Golders Green to keep Luciana Berger out, Labour can't win and if Berger doesent get in it will be the Tories, she is a bit too Jewish I would say for the brown shirts of Labour

Interesting to see what the BBC will predict form the exit polls. Very accurate last time out.

East Derry is 2am
Lagan Valley is around the same time
The Protestant counters must be very efficient

Higher turn out at my polling station, purely going on previous two elections

62% turnout at 5pm at stranmillis. That's ridiculous. My parents were queuing at 11am. It's going to be an interesting night ahead of us

I vote in a staunch unionist area of South belfast, it was less than 31% at 5pm. Pengelly is gone.

Give them time to get out of bed
