Slipped back in time to watch The Election Night Armistice from 1997.

Many memories from back when I was (checks watch)... 14... yikes!

The inflatable Paddy Ashdown, Valerie Singleton with her bouncy houses of parliament and the spin doctor competition.

The Election Night Armistice (1997) - Part 1

YouTube
“The sky rained dismal. It rained humdrum. It rained the kind of rain that is so much wetter than normal rain, the kind of rain that comes down in big drops and splats, the kind of rain that is merely an upright sea with slots in it.”
Terry Pratchett; Truckers/BromeliadTrilogy

Ok so the song wasn't part of the actual announcement but being played by pro EU activist Stephen Bray. Hats off to him. A nice touch to a soggy mess.
