Election drinking game rules (draft)
Thinking about election night drinking game rules, after it was suggested that "Everytime a result's announced" might not work for the long, long night it's going to be.
Therefore, suggest taking a drink when:
a woman is elected (this will be rare)
a non-white person is elected (also rare)
an independent is elected (unless it's Esther Rantzen, which is finish-your-drink-and-weep)
the cold crushing inevitability of the impending vicious Tory government becomes too much to bear
A Tory is elected in Scotland
Member of the Labour Awkward Squad is elected (rebels Quite Often or Often on TheyWorkForYou)
Finish your drink:
Ed Balls (or another cabinet member, but it's likely to be him) loses his seat
John Bercow loses his seat, although let's hope not, I can't stand Nigel Farrage's face
Heledd Fychan takes Montgomeryshire from Lembit Opik, he's played a strong hand very, very badly there...
The Tories get an outright majority. Then finish another. Then shoot me.
Suggestions welcome
