Yep, typically exit polls underestimate Tory results

BBC's "virtual house of commons". What the actual ****?

Oh god, now the chinless wonder is on. Presumably everything he says is total bollocks?

Shame I couldn't vote for Oliver Cromwell

Well, I don't believe that. How are these polls done?

Oh FFS that preening **** gove is already on telly claiming the tories have won. Think I said last time that the people in this country get the govt they deserve. Wonder if I'll be saying it again?

The 2010 and 2005 BBC exit polls had it spot on

Doesn't Gove have to be at his count?

****in ****in **** ****k ****. ****erty ****erty ****

Oooh, Fiona Bruce is just up the road. I'm off out.

If that is anywhere near correct then 4 and half years of work hasn't achieved much and I might be collecting my p45tomorrow.

Oh dear god not again

Doesn't Gove have to be at his count?

yes, there's definitely something vaguely familiar about that. Doesn't seem [i]quite[/i] right though

i've just finished my port and now i have to start the gin. i am excited and paddy ashdown is on bbc1. Cool guy.

[quote=unklehomered ]Doesn't Gove have to be at his count?

He needs to be there when the result is declared, which is scheduled for 3:30am. He's got plenty of time.

Looks like no PM Miliband. Time for a dram!

No. Please. If those idiots get in, the country's utterly screwed over. What possesses anyone to vote for the Tory mindless idiots?

Half a Banana republic cut off from the rest of the world with its head up its rear end in 5 years time.

And breathe......

😯

So SNP wiping out almost everyone else in Scotland, Greens and UKIP getting the same number of seats despite the massively unequal coverage (and support) UKIP get and the Tories only needing a party with about 10 seats to command a majority? Wow.

Nick Robinson has been having his sore throat for a while now I wonder if he has it checked by his GP yet as sore throat should not last that long ... think more than 2 weeks now.

😯

If the SNP share is right, Labour is well and truly ****ed, not only now, but from now on, because without Scotland the party can't win nationally.

… which means we could be facing a permanent Conservative state. 👿 😥

…which means [sarcastic applause] well done Scotland [/sarcastic applause]

Looks like no PM Miliband. Time for a dram!

If it's 19 seats less than 2010, then no more leader of Labour either.

Goes to bed thinking happy thoughts

Is everyone else seeing a regional election programme rather than national?

YouGov

Tory 284
Labour 263
Lib Dems 31
SNP 48
UKIP 2
Plaid Cymru 3
Greens 1
18 members from Northern Ireland.

Poor Harriet got a hospital pass there.

Chewy

In early 2015 Robinson underwent surgery to remove a bronchial carcinoid tumour; he returned to work at the BBC on 13 April.

beer anyone?

[quote=martinhutch ]Did I just see that right?
They'll only need the bloody DUP if that's the case.

We should be discussing this surely? What is the DUP/Tory position on a coalition? If the poll is correct, I think this is the first time the question arises, where the Tories don't have a majority by themselves but do with the DUP.

So what time will Ed be sacked?

Hoping the yougov poll is on the money!

beer anyone?

Yes, please.

Apparently YouGov have done another exit poll that reflects the pre election polls.

Poor Harriet got a hospital pass there.

She's parked the pink bus though.

Which sounds wrong.

Hmm 22,000 polled across some 650 constituencies. About 30 people per constituency. It's probably more intelligent than that though i suppose.

One of the things which makes me curious about the BBC poll is that they're predicting a second Green seat which hasn't been predicted by anything else I've seen.

YouGov:-
Con 284
Lab 263
LD 31
SNP 48
UKIP 2
PC 3
Green 1

Much more palatable and likely! 🙂

DUP will enter into confidence and supply, no ambition to be in coalition.

Bloody hell I did not know that ... 😮

I always enjoy his political analysis and I hope he will recover his voice.

Off to bed as on earlies tomorow ( just me policing an area of 35000 people). Hoping for a small miracle overnight and I might get a colleague in a few months 🙁

[quote=camo16 ]If the SNP share is right, Labour is well and truly ****ed, not only now, but from now on, because without Scotland the party can't win nationally.

In 97 Labour won 362 seats in England and Wales, with 330 required for a majority (fairly sure that happened in other recent elections as well, but just checked the most obvious).

Edit: 357 in England in Wales in 2001

UKIP seem to be 3rd in many seat by seat predictions.
That's scary, glad we don't have PR

Good news there aracer

Wasn't looking forward to a permanent Tory state. 🙁

Peter Kellner picks the ball up now!!!

Haven't heard beeb mention yougov poll, where is that data ?
