British media is filled with dogs waiting for the result
At 23.00, Swedish time, the British polling stations close. At that time, the three major British television channels BBC, ITV and Sky News are also expected to release the first polling station survey, which is usually very accurate.
It is the opinion institute Ipsos that conducts interviews at 133 polling stations around the country.
The rules for how British media are allowed to report on the election on election day are strict. TV channels and newspapers in the country are not allowed to report on the election itself before the polling stations close. The coverage is limited to "uncontroversial factual information", such as pictures of when politicians vote, the weather - and animals.
During the day, several of the major media have published a large number of pictures of dogs and other pets accompanying the polling stations. It has become a "phenomenon" in the last decade, writes Sky News.

Professor: Historic scandal if Labor doesn't get a majority
With only hours to go before the first preliminary election results in the UK become official, most people are asking how big the victory for social democratic Labor will be.
- It would be the biggest scandal in British election history if Labor does not get a majority, says politics professor David Runciman at Cambridge in the podcast "Fivethirtyeight Politics".
Helen Thompson, professor of political economy at Cambridge, is on the same track in the same podcast.
- The only issue that matters is the size of the majority, she says.
Thompson also says the "ultimate humiliation" for the Tories would be if either Reform UK or the Liberal Democrats get bigger, something she believes is unlikely.

Starmer: Ready to rule - gets going right away
During his final campaign meeting on Wednesday, Labor leader Keir Starmer, the heavy favorite in the British election, promised "a new era of hope and opportunity" for Britain. That's what The Guardian writes.
He assured that he is "ready to govern" and will "start right away" after taking power, which according to opinion polls is almost guaranteed.
- The British people deserve a government that matches their ambition. Now the process of rebuilding Britain begins with work, he said, implying that labor means precisely work.
At the same time, Tory leader Rishi Sunak is said to have told his confidants that he is afraid of losing his seat in parliament after the election. According to a Yougov poll, Labor could win the largest majority of any British party since 1832.
