Watching BBC Election Coverage in Aus?
Hey Guys,
Does anyone know how to view the live TV program of UK Election Day in Australia? Will BBC World News be simulcasting the election program being shown in the UK?

Watched it on BBC website live feed last time.
This is going to be close - pretty exciting I think, so looking forward to it...

Try using Filmon.com to stream it. Here in the Philippines, the results will start coming in around 9.00am local, so don't need to stay up all night to watch it!

On an Android (it may be on others) get MobiTV from the Play Store, and watch BBC News from there. Cast it to your TV. If your TV doesn't do casting go buy a Chromecast for under $50.

Watching a country slit its throat by electing a hard-left government - in coalition with an even more hard-left partner
No thanks
No thanks

Christ alive, I've never watched it in England, let alone Oz. Never watched an Oz election either (although I do remember Laurie Oakes getting busted for trying to rip an ABC sign off the floor at tv debate, I think exhaustion kicked in after 8 seconds and he gave and cried into a doughnut 
)

Re: Watching BBC Election Coverage in Aus?
As it stands the vote, and the predicted seats, are fairly evenly split between Lab and the Cons. It hasn't moved significantly since the beginning.
Realistically the best outcome will be a Lab<>Lib coalition with the tacit support of the SNP.
If the tories were to scrape back in, they would be required to offer the In/Out vote on the EU - and that would result in the UK leaving the EU. If they had a plan, great, but they are in the position that scotland was - no plan, no clue, just exclusion.
Thus the lite right of Lib/Lab would be the lowest risk option.
The risk is that the SNP will do a deal with the Tories - neither are trustworthy and both are power-crazed. It should be impossible, but that fact keeps niggling at me - it's the only way for Cameron to keep his job.

Re: Watching BBC Election Coverage in Aus?
I'd rather watch paint dry. Lots of people pontificating, trying to appear intelligent, guessing 90% of the time about what may happen? Going to an outside broadcast in some cold, rainy town and listen to a reporter making crap up about what the people around them think whilst trying to hide the drunk hovering in the background making silly faces and saying 'hello mum'? I do not see the fascination at all.
