They can't ask at every polling station, but they ask people as they come out who they voted for. I believe sky/itv/c4/bbc all teamed up to produce the poll. That is how they calculate it :) Nothing certain, but they almost got it spot on in 2010.

There wasn't even anyone stood asking ANYONE 'how they voted' when I went :O and it was fairly busy!


Surely just asking a random selection of people 'how they voted' isn't really going to be that accurate? :S

please explain to me what conservative & libdems done positive in the last 5 years?

Even if Con + LD = 326, it'll be a really weak government. All it will take is one rogue MP for them to potentially lose a vote.

It's not that it's that I thought my bet was on Lib Dems getting less than 10 seats, but I realised 10 seats and I still win. Though if they get 9 they might shove UKIP in their coalition so I win 2 of my bets :¬:

Some people would say this is just propping up the expensive housing market.

Sunderland vs Newcastle in the election count. Winner stays in the premier league.
