The exit polls are suggesting a hung parliament, but the swings are looking suspiciously large enough to give the Cons a small majority.....

this one was 9% - is it going to be uniform?

 

[Fiona]

I am inclined to think the tories will get a win: though we need to see if it is regional

Labour held rutherglen and hamlton west

 

[Fiona]

labour held Easington

Torbay

Interesting....the radio are reporting that there was a small swing to the Libs on this - maybe the south is going to get a very different voter swing to the seats in the north.

The audience at the recording of Charlie Brooker's "You Have Been Watching" was almost entirely Lib-Dem, weirdly.

Not sure: it was a lib dem seat so maybe they were more likely to buy the hype around clegg?

 

[Fiona]

labour held clwyd

 

[Fiona]

sedgefield: labour hold

 

[Fiona]

Putney: con hold with a big swing away from labour

 

[MarkCorrigan]

This is actually really exciting.

I predict Conservative majority in a hung parliament leading to a Lib-Lab pact.

 

[Fiona]

Surprise surprise: conservatives doing better in england so far: not in wales or scotland. If this keeps up we will have to put up with a tory government we did not vote for. Again

 

[Matthew Best]

Lewis Baston of the Guardian, on the other hand, is predicting a Conservative majority.

 

[Fiona]

Labour hold east kilbride, strathaven and lesmahagow

 

[Fiona]

lib dems hold fife north east

lib dems will be dissapointed by that one.

3.3% swing from SNP to LAB in Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath, Gordon Brown's constituency.
