Anybody wanna join me in guessing some % & seats?

Con 37% LibD 28% Lab 25% Others 10%

Cons 6 seat overall majority

I would expect the LD vote to be lower than polled and the other 2 to be higher

I reckon this too, some people will probably think at the last minute they don't really have a chance as per usual as go back to lab/cons.

Also a lot of their 'bounce' came from people who said they weren't going to vote but they'd been 'inspired'

I'm guessing a fair few won't bother - although if the turnout goes up significantly then so could the Lib Dem vote for that reason

Lib Dems lose three seats???

Or stay about the same - all in all the exit poll is within the bounds of what I'd expect

Just shows how many people will vote to keep the Tories out, irrespective of how much of a bunch of clowns they're voting for.

if poll is correct lib/lab pact would struggle to make a government

i am still going to suggest than the toires will hold a majority and libs wont be as bad as it looks

lol it's true what they're saying, but very funny how much the success in the polls was being lauded before but now they're all talking up the margins of error and how they have gone wrong in the past

I would have thought as the leader of the largest party, Maj would give Cameron first dibs at forming a government.

Nice gaffe, BBC Website. Something we need to know here?

""The country hasn't turned overwhelming towards the Conservatives," says deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman, giving her thoughts on our exit poll. It predicts that the Tories will be largest party in a hung parliament. "It's obviously going to be very close, that's clear," Mr Harman adds."

No, it's the PM's bag.
