A bit of light relief from the heat of this campaign. What’s been your favourite or most memorable moments from election campaigns and election nights from the past? Could also mention personal memories of elections past.
Have to say, one of my favourites was the Prescott punch in Rhyl from the 2001 election campaign.
In one of the documentaries of Blair’s years in office, there’s an amusing clip where Tony describes picking up the phone in his office and being told that they’d just received news that ‘the Deputy Prime Minister has punched a member of the public.’’ :D
As someone that has disliked the Tories from a young age, my most triumphant election moment came when the exit poll was released at the last election in 2017. Fully expecting a strong Tory majority as nigh on all polls were predicting, and telling myself that once I saw the inevitable I would go to bed as I couldn’t bring myself to watch the results come through as I’ve done in years past; to see Dimbleby announce May was expected to not win a majority was like watching Palace score a last minute equaliser at Old Trafford. Certainly celebrated it like it was.
