My LD contacts said that the LDs were suffering from a lot of unformed hatred that was an incoherent mishmash of Tuition Fees/Coalition and oddly losses to Kippers as protest party fodder.
Harriet on 5Live can't understand why after 4 million conversations on the doorstep the exit poll suggest something other than she had expected - Yes, Harriet...THEY WERE LYING TO YOU
The most delicious thought for me is all those lefties in Broadcasting House having to leave untold cases of finest champagne unopened and grumpily making their way home.
Now let's see some real action from Cameron's new Government mounting a determined effort to eliminate once and for all all that all that deeply entrenched pro-Labour bias.

Nonsense. If this exit poll is right, then first past the post is surprisingly safe. Tories have no reason to change voting method (neither do Labour).
If the north-east is Labour's best area according to the exit poll, as they said on BBC, they're heading for a very bad night because they're only up by 4 to 5% in these first two seats.

Thats why we have to wait for a seat out of the NE.
The Conservatives losing votes where it does not matter. The inbuilt bias that Labour had in the electoral system may well be gone after this. Indeed it might actually favour the Tories now.
Will the BBC feed these numbers into their exit poll, and provide an updated one?
They will have late exit poll returns and first results to add, from memory they made a slight adjustment by a couple of seats last time around midnight.

If, indeed, he has been lucky.
I have had to kick the server once :-)
Wtf?

Has anybody seen Pickles, Gove, May, Hague, Hammond, Grayling, IDS, Hunt, Morgan, Greening, etc more than once or twice over the past 6 weeks?

Must admit I think the exit poll is crackers. Then again, I thought the same in 2010.
Watched Serenity. Never seen Firefly, but I quite enjoyed the film.
Fair play to lefties who are fronting up at the moment.
I still fear a disateously inaccurate exit poll seats outcome
Foot was EdM's political hero. It's apt.
I think the Tories are getting ahead of themselves and 15 UKIP is actually possible.
Green beat Lib Dem again.
Sky IMO
These are safe seats. Not that the GP necessarily know the nuances of their own seats but will be interesting to see a closely contested seat.
Will sort out the UKIP sheep from the NOTA lambs.
In 2015 after two results it was 19
n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-nineteen!
I can't help but admire, somehow, EdB.
No one would be happier if he lost his seat but he is a class act.
Who got on a UKIP second places spread bet?
I'm a little devastated obviously but if this mirrors the actual results then congrats to all the Tories on here.
LOL
Still very very early days! have faith
Told you guys weeks ago you should get on it
I think he'd be delighted to lose that bet.

On topic: If UKIP get 19% they'll have done superbly.
Momentous events...
Lab 52.6%
Con 21.0%
UKIP 20.3%
Greens 3.5%
LD 2.4%

It was 12000 last time
No really useful results yet.
Can't believe the Lib Dems would be down to 10.
Some incumbency bonus for LDs: 7% swing LD to Con.
Something's wrong.
