AIBU to be fed up already?
30 minute program - 22 minutes of election stuff. 6 minutes of general news. 2minutes of weather.
How many more weeks till the election?

I flick through BBC, SKY and ITV websites other than that avoiding the news apart from a quick look at breakfast.

I will definitely be voting in the election and will be carefully studying the information. However the endless waffling on by newscasters and politicians (who have no intention of answering any questions, but just what they want to say) I find good times to make a coffee, go to the loo, look at the crossword or whatever. If they are on the tv, the mute button works very well, until they have gone. Thank goodness for Radio 3!

10pm Election news was curtailed by the news about Donald Trump. Let’s see if it affects the regional news.
