Election Night 2008

David Dimbleby leads the team for the 2008 local elections, Gordon Brown's first major electoral test as Prime Minister.

David Dimbleby is your guide for the first major electoral test Gordon Brown has faced since taking over at Number Ten. Will he do any better than Tony Blair last year? And can David Cameron turn the Conservative party's lead in the polls into an General Election winning platform? Nick Clegg is also a new kid on the political block - does he have electoral appeal? Jeremy Vine has his latest box of graphics tricks to explain what's happening as the results come in. And it's also your chance to discover the new world of Emily's blog - the fastest, sharpest, most politically opinionated take on what's really happening in the local elections. We have teams at all the key battlegrounds, with regular updates on what's happening in your area and a full regional summary at 12.15, 1.30 and 2.15. With the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Political Editor Nick Robinson and Professor Tony King providing all the analysis, there is nowhere better to find out who's running things where you are.
