    Nate Silver joins LordA:

    http://fivethirtyeight.com/liveblogs/uk-general-election-2015/

    His model currently predicts 53 LD seats, and 20 UKIP seats.

    Nate Silver was crap before, and is crap again. Not a shock ;)
    Nate Silver gets plaudits for predicting "all 50 states" when anyone could predict about 45 of them most of the time.

    Re Burnley, my old seat, disappointed to see Lab win it - but they didn't win by much.

    Note - Maitliss said the Exit Poll would have the Tories on 20% here. They got 13.5% - note of caution re Lancashire marginals. Could be better for Lab than exit poll predicts!

    Surprised how well LDs did frankly...

    I think the question is, will other LD candidates (in the borders, CS&ER, and O&S) in Scotland hold up as well as Swinson. If they do, there might be 2 Scottish LD MPs.

    Or there might be none.
