The minor problem is that as things stand, Britain is ungovernable.

Even if Theresa May were to somehow struggle into majority territory, she's still finished.

If the Exit Poll is more or less right, almost certain we'll have another election and a new PM by end of the year.

On the upside, the SNP looking likely to lose 22 seats.

Nothing can compare to those 100 flip-flops between Dem and Repub for Florida during the night

Why aren't any Remain-supporting Labour voters posting graphs of the Pound Sterling?



Funny, when the £ went down with Leave they all suddenly became currency experts telling us the end of the world was nigh but now their side is winning the currency markets suddenly don't seem to matter! Funny that, isn't it?

They might not be, but I am :p not looking forward to the opening of the markets at all in the morning...

Said this elsewhere, but that swing in Swindon North was very strange. I have noticed a lot of Labour support in recent weeks in Swindon, but it completely bucked the early trend of 'if you voted leave you swung to the conservatives', as Swindon North did vote leave and yet swung to Labour.

This is going to be a hell of a night.

As a Conservative i'm not ready to throw May to the wolves yet, but if her position is untenable after tonight then...

Whatever the true result, the Conservative party needs a leader that believes in Brexit.

David Davis would be my choice for PM. Was a Brexiteer and has that way of talking that May lacks.

Thank God Osborne stepped down from Parliament or else he and the Cameroons would be plotting to re-take the party.

Uh oh.

This exit polls and predictions giving me anxiety!

Hard to see May lasting as PM now. Her authority is shot.

Unless there's a remarkable turn-around tonight, wouldn't be shocked to hear of her resignation before noon tomorrow. Or at least her intention to resign before the autumn and *after* trying to form a govenment. But she's certainly on borrowed time.

Farage is now saying he'll return to frontline politics if Brexit is in any peril. I'm ready to carry on the fight with him if I have to.
