Correct. Most the country hate Blair, and will continue hating him
TBH I don't anyone who likes him! 17 years hence, I think people will just still see him as a lying weasel; who squandered a golden opportunity to change the country for the better.

Blair isn't another Thatcher, half the country will not always hate him.

Wow, having only been 8 years old at the time, this is something of a surprise, it has to be have been the best ever election night coverage by the BBC. They have all the big stars across the country, one after the other, John Simpson, Anna Ford, Jon Sopel, Andrew Harvey, Carol Walker, Michael Crick, Michael Buerk and of course David Dimbleby and Peter Snow with Jeremey Paxman in the studio, to mention but a few of the stars on the night. Thoroughly enjoying watching this... despite being a Tory!

My guess before watching the programme was that they were to do with the regional switching centres which would have played a big part in the OBs since 1997 was before SNGs were so commonplace, either identifying where a particular contribution was being hubbed through or cueing a change of source at the remote switching centre.
However having seen it it looks like it's to do with the graphics showing the result of each count. Looks like the red is used to identify that whatever kit is producing those is selected on the vision mixer and it goes green when the results have been keyed in and the effect is ready to run.

Those of you with PC capture cards or tellies with no overscan should keep an eye on the top line of the picture. See if you can spot red and green lines and work out what they were there for!
