You have to put down money (500 pounds in this case) to be a candidate. If you get more than 5% of the vote, the money is returned to you. If you get less, the state keeps the funds. This is to reduce the number of unserious candidates.

So it's near 2am UK time and the BBC feed has 11 seats in. Is this unusual?

Christian Party get over 1,000 votes in the Western Isles. Sad

They managed 7.5% in '05. It's a very socially conservative place.

YouGov election reaction poll out. Highlight: support for Scottish independence has surged in the rUK and a plurality of people now say that England and Wales would be better off without Scotland. Also, there is a 45-45 divide about the Tory majority.

Had a look through the poll, and I do wonder... who on earth are the 7% of UKIP voters who want the UK to remain in the EU? Huh

Generic protest voters. Probably a lot of LibDem --> UKIP voters in that 7%.
