    Huge drift on Con overall majority on Betfair in last couple of minutes. Some think it's now out the question.

    Nothing has changed though. Little to no Lab/Con change in E&W. Add in 25 LD gains and we get to a majority.

    Irrespective of the UKIP result I think the vote share for all the peripheral parties indicates a dislike of the traditional politician. If anything comes out of all this I just hope that there will be a change in the way MP's relate to the electorate.

    There have not really been that many blue-red seat declarations. Most of the attention has been on the SNP highland fling. There seem to be several Labour gains, but patchy.
