Election 2005 -Pre-Election discussion here

On a slightly related note. Newsnight are appealing for requests as to where they should sent the "Cribt Copter"

Newsnights coverage of the election has so far been excellent. I really like the soft second set for more deatiled discussion. Does anyone know if this will become a permanent feature or just for the election?
Newsnight titles have also been nicly edited. One concern though, when another major news story ( Such as the burial of the Pope ) is the lead story will they have to revert back to the generic NN titles?

Has anyone managed to capture either the set or titles? I breifly saw the set last night on the trailer at 10 - looked very nice from what i saw

Yes Newsnight's been top dog so far in the campaign.

My only complaint would be that they've picked lower-than-average-IQ students for their "student house" segment (from Nottingham TRENT 'university'- that's the one that used to be a polytechnic to most people) who make annoyingly inane comments like "politicians don't speak my kind of language innit".

There's a good reason dears- they've by and large had a decent education.

Not all students are like this and it annoys me to see us all portrayed in this way.

Otherwise- top work Newsnight.

Don't think this has been mentioned...

The Sky Publicity newsletter that's just gone out has a picture of the Sky News Active Vote 05 screen - or at least half of it, if it's going to be 16 screens.

Only way I can describe it is very similar to the existing model, but with the Vote 05 logo and faded colour scheme in the background.

Can't find it on the Publicity website, maybe you have to subscribe or whatever. Can you post a picture? Thanks.

I tried to, but it's embedded in the email and I can't work out how to get it out. The 'source' of the email doesn't display a URL for it, so not sure how.

It's a fairly small picture, anyway. More of a thumbnail, to be honest.

Oh ok, don't worry. Thanks anyway.

Anyone remember the annoying electronic game "Simon"?
