A COUPLE are staying up all night to witness the live televised death of their fleeting interest in politics.
While usually politically apathetic, the Logans have been inspired to become part of a growing movement of people who will have their hopes spectacularly and brutally dashed.
Tom Logan said: “The best time to suffer a huge disappointment is five in the morning after drinking nine cans of Apple Tango to stay awake.
“The growing wave of nausea through sleep deprivation will really add to the experience and hopefully the painful next day at work will remind me never to vote again.”
The Logans have taken the liberty of ordering 100 red balloons which can float around the house in states of deflation for days afterwards providing an apt metaphor for their defeat and they plan to use their misery to educate their young son, Tim Logan.
Clare Logan said: “It’s the first General Election that Tim has been old enough to understand, so I want to let him stay up too so he can experience his first spirit-crushing disappointment.
“Maybe we’ll tell him Father Christmas doesn’t exist straight after the result is announced.”
