So today, if you haven't heard already, is the day when Brits all around the country take part in the election of the people who will govern them for possibly the next 5 years.
The pollsters are saying that it's going to be very close, with a possibly no clear outright winner in terms of parties. Whatever the outcome, tonight is going to be a very interesting result, with what is expected to be a much higher than average turnout. This probably has a lot to do with the three leader debates that have been broadcasted over the past month.
Usually it's a two horse race, with either the Labour or the Conservative parties the clear winner, but thanks to the debates the Liberal Democrats and especially the party leader Nick Clegg have been thrust into the limelight more than in past years.
The polls close in about two hours and the results as they come in will make for very interesting results. Will there be an outright winner or will we have the first hung parliament in approximately 30 years? Hopefully we'll find out tonight, but apparently there are about 20 constituencies who's votes won't be counted until the morning and those might be the crucial ones who sway it one way of the other.
