    Like Cameron's comment about opinion polls - there's only one that matters!

    What a bloody waste of money all those polls ended up being. At least the good lord can waste as much of his own as he likes.
    I don't envy the poor sod from YouGov who has to go in front of Murdoch and explain what he pissed all his money upon those daily polls on.
    Best investment he ever made. It was the polls which kept ed in place, because look he couldn't be crap no matter what the pbtories said because look at the polls. #EICIPMnot.

    Dear God I might lose my Cons 301-325 @11/4.

    But in a good way.

    Feel sorry for Mr Smithson Jr, who has "several thousand" on the 11-20 range for the LDs. Only 6 so far, and not too many left.

    Boulton: "Every Lib Dem who has been a cabinet minister - other than Clegg - has lost their seat."

    Clegg should resign as an MP.
    He doesn't deserve to be in Parliament.
    While the party backed him in joining the coalition, that he almost alone of his colleagues has survived this disaster is pretty absurd, but how can he resign now? It's just tossing away another seat!

    Didn't a bookie take 30k from someone on Tory majority? If Con fall a few seats short he is going to be kicking himself.

    Especially if it is a nominal majority given Sinn Fein.

    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.

    I bet on the same range, but did get some cover on 0-10 as a bit of insurance. Will do better in the next range though.

    Presumably the Lib Dem leader will no longer get allocated questions at PMQs? I guess it'll be Salmond?

    Unless they give them 1 guaranteed question each I suppose

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