Hell YES. We are officially "ALLLLRRIIIGGGHHHTTTT"

Brom

Galloway gone

Looks like the SW likes Cameroonian Toryism even more than the regular stuff - if they keep that up, no way back for the LDs there perhaps.

TGOHF

Galloway GAWN !

Life_ina_market_town

Helen Grant has comfortably retained Maidstone despite speculation she was toast.

Pollsters still not cracked the shy tory problem it seems.

SimonStClare

How could seven pollsters and the last 600 threads got it so wrong?

Galloway trounced.

MP_SE

Galloway looks ill.

Life_ina_market_town

Galloway out!
He can come down and split the leftist vote in London in 2016!

KentRising

Helen Grant wins in Maidstone with great ease, despite the hype.

Speedy

If it's 1992 I'm looking forward for 5 years of Tory collective suicide over Europe, sleaze scandals and financial crisis till 1997 comes.

The one bit of good news!!

MarqueeMark

My 1,000-2,000 majority prediction for the blues in Torbay was not too far off the mark. 3,286 in the end.

RobD

pleeaassseee can we be the second party of Scotland. That'd be utterly delicious end to the night (that, and getting a freakin majority!)

Brom

People's republic of Bradford west. What a shithole

1992 started out pre-poll 'Labour win'. I got home from the opera to 'Exit polls say Con biggest, minority govt'. Woke to 'Con Maj'......

Galloway losing one of the best results.....I wonder if he will have the most ungracious concession speech.....

I don't dare look at my twitter timeline....

I praise the professionalism of LD former MPs able to not just shout 'Fecking hell, that was even worse than we thought!' at a camera.

"We are now predicting a Conservative MAJORITY of 3. Finishing with 327 - with a winning post now of 324" - err, doesn't that mean a Con Maj of 6? Amazing how few people can grasp this basic maths ...

MikeL

Con already +17 would give 324

(BBC goes from 2010 result - so Clacton is a loss).

Must surely be several more gains to come.

Assuming the BBC make the election programme iPlayer-able, I must go back and watch all the sneering comments from Lab and Lib Dem talking heads about the exit poll at the start of the programme, just to give myself a good laugh.

Yes!

Perhaps she is actually great MP for Manchester, but there's one who deserves to have been defeated if she's anything like her media ineptness in her own seat.

In hindsight, perhaps I was a little too sure of a Lab plurality, I see that now.

Gods, we're going to have really pleased, swaggering SNP MPs on our screens from now until independence is declared, aren't we?

I remember Ross Perot being given several states at one point in the BBC's 1992 US presidential election coverage because someone pressed the wrong button. I suspect something similar here.
