What does Cameron do about a problem called Scotland?
More devolution......
I think our Nat posters are deluding themselves - the Scots want MPs who will stick up for Scotland, but not independence. The trouble is, they can't tell the difference between 'the SNP' and 'Scotland'.....
Boris talking about the "ajockalypse" sort of encouraged that.
I think the Tories are getting an overall majority. It's a question as to how big that majority is. I'm hoping it'll be small, but how this election night has gone - could it be a landslide?

A Tory majority is now the most likely outcome IMO.
Well yes - when are the media going to start moving to this?
Swings to Conservatives from Labour and they don't even need to gain any Labour seats to gain a majority with the LibDem collapse. Could be looking at 350 seats!
I will ask again. Are UKIP actually helping the Tories in some of these seats by taking votes from Labour?
Hard to tell. There's clearly quite a churn - look at the LibDem figures
Agreed. I just can't get my head around the idea that voters are jumping straight from the Lib Dems to UKIP.
It's difficult to put yourself in the shoes of the sort of person who would do that. We're too close to politics to understand it. That doesn't prove it's happening though.

Don't tease me
I feel pretty depressed now. I'm just preparing (IMHO) for the worst.
Labour to UKIP swing looks to be forming, a pattern emerges now.
It looks as if the Con vote is losing much less than Lab and LD to the kippers
have we heard from compouter tonight??? or Gabble, or Tim, or BJO
compouter teased everyone with "EICIPM" five minutes before the exit poll was announced, which was quite worrying (we won't forget that!), and BJO has been around. Still waiting on IOS to comment on LABs ground game....titter
But he cannot. The polls were not wrong. They were done wrong. Not deliberately, but they really did not know what they were doing. Kellner say we should not listen to polls!!! His company is the one doing them 4 times a week for 5 years!!!!!
BTW Are the LD inclined actually voting tory to counter UKIP votes? There cannot be a straight LD to UKIP switch.

I thought we were told on here they needed a 10% or 11% lead for a majority????????

But if the Conservative Party swings right (to grab UKIP) and Labour swings left (to grab back the SNP seats), then a gap in the centre will appear.
Umm - JackW's ARSE did.
Jack W would beg to differ.
Still let's be thankful we're not pollsters
And surely one cannot say, now, that only nerds and bubblistas care about the polls.
Poor Ed.
*not everyone.
They really are mentalists.
Then they got into bed w the Tories, reneged on their main pledge... the rest est histoire!

Or so some thought.
PS "invested" £5 million is the correct Labspeak.

A sign that it is still early days, people.

@LabourEoin: Still see no reason, whatsoever, to change my view that David Cameron's career is over.
