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!

I thought the BBC website geoblocks content?

Use a DNS redirect or VPN

Plenty of info on here about how to do this

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

Last time it was streamed live from the BBC News website without impediment.

Pray for the fine people of Britain

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 )

I love watching election results. Ha e done since I was a kid. Westminster elections far superior to Canberra - A proper election with a proper count and proper returning officer process...

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.

BTW, Channel 4 are doing election coverage in their own style this time - with Jeremy Paxman and David Mitchell. So the ability to switch channels might be useful. As it stands it's unlikely to produce a certain output at all, or at least in the early hours UK time - so entertainment is called for.

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.

Not a lot has changed for the reasons Cameron was voted in. He's done a good job with the economy while his neighbours have fallen around him. I understand people like change for the sake of change, but really, is this the time to risk it? No
