BBC Exit Poll - Hung Parliament

[Frodo13.]

According to the BBC Exit Poll, we are heading to hung parliament with all three main parties seeing results which are much poorer than they would have wanted. The results are as follow

Conservatives - 307 seats (19 seats short of a majority)
Labour - 255 seats (71 seats short of a majority and the biggest loss of seats by Labour since 1931)
Lib Dems - 59 (down 4 seats. Dissapointing as they were expecting according to some polls over 100 seats)
Others - 29 seats

I personally, don't think this is accurate in terms of Tory and Lib Dem seats. I was personally expecting Torys to be short of around 40-50 seats, and that the Lib Dems would be doing alot better. Time will tell.

Yes I'm not too convinced myself.

I'm hopeful that it won't be like that

Lets wait for the results

The Conservative vote is too high for my liking, I think the Liberal Democrat vote has been grossly underestimated - it is vital that we get voting reform asap. I wish Farage luck tonight in Buckingham and hopefully the awful John Bercow will be unseated.

I have to agree with this. I think Lib Dems are more likely to get 20 more than this, and most of these will be from the Conservatives.

We're not "well into" hung parliament territory but I really do think it is the case. I'm not going to write off a Conservative majority yet though.

Labour win Houghton & Sunderland South. Expected however.

With a swing of 8.3% to the Conservatives....

With a swing of 8.3% to the Conservatives....

Yeah this is surprisingly above the exit poll swing to the Conservatives and reflects the Exit Polls view on the Liberal Democrats complete and utter failure

Yes I know. I'm a member of the Labour Party, but I'm not affraid to admitt it doesn't look well for Labour. I'm certainly worried for the next 5 years of my life if the Conservatives get a overall majority.
