The 2015 General Election

I'll be a bit surprised if it ends up anywhere near that. How reliable are exit polls?

[jjaacckk91]

Ahh BBC sky and ITV using the same that makes more sense to why they are so close, are there any others

[CarewsEyebrowDesigner]

Well well!

[VillaChris]

No and with lib dems only on 10 apparently, I doubt they'll be in any position to be in another coalition.

 

Putting aside politics for a second, there's no logic reason why someone who's 70 seats short of the leading party should become prime minister tbh.

Last time out they were correct to about 2 seats if I recall

But in 1992 they were way way off

[Avfc96]

That exit poll is very interesting. If it ends up on those figures, Tories, DUP and Lib Dem coalition?

[brommy]

I'm expecting a familiar declaration

It's the Sun wot won it.

[CarewsEyebrowDesigner]

Tories/DUP/UKIP coalition....

[VillaChris]

10 Lib dems MPs possibly though, no chance of a coalition with them and Clegg will fall on his sword.

[tonyh29]

IF (big if ) milliband on 239 becomes PM over Cameron on 316 I would suggest there is something seriously flawed with our system

From the exit polls then Labour + Snp+ libs + greens +the Welsh + Galloway ... Where would that leave the rainbow coalition ?

Labour and the SNP together nearly 20 seats short of the Tories too. Don't think anyone would have seen that coming. Let's wait and see.

Exit polls are normally fairly accurate unfortunately. People just got scared. 

[Avfc96]

Tories/DUP/UKIP coalition....

Scary thought.

[Rodders]

Wow at that exit poll. If thats true, what a victory for the rich and well off. My contempt for fellow citizens shoots up even further. Selfish **** words removed. Heres to continued wage repression and inequality. Yaaaaay

[Chindie]

It's close enough that the Tories could try a minority government on their tod.

Probably not though.

[Enda]

SNP up from 6 to 58.

 

Bye bye United Kingdom.

I hate Gove

[VillaChris]

Milliband has to fall on his sword here aswell surely, less than 250 when it's the evil, nasty, bullingdon boys on the other side.

I hate Gove

 

I turned on BBC for 5 seconds, see they had him in as "expert" guest and promptly turned back to ITV.

[PompeyVillan]

Puh, I despair, I really do. [emoji22]

Incredible if true. For historic parallels, even the Irish Home Rule party & Sinn Fein never achieved such local dominance.
