General Election 2015

Calling [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] !!!!!

Well if the poll turns out right, I sure hope I turn out to be wrong when I say the tories will continue to prise the heart out of this country inch by inch.

YouGov exit poll - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1

Too high for Libs but BBC seems far too low

 

[Eeyore]

Exit polls have the Tories smashing it out of the park.

The Laurent-Perrier is popped and flowing.

Not convinced. I think that the Liberal Democrat figure is wrong. They have a strong localised vote. Actually, my impression is that poll is very wide of the mark. Remember 1992 ?

Interesting that the YouGov exit poll puts the result as Tories 284, Labour 263 which seems more believable

Indeed... although IPSOS Mori polled 22000+ people across the country at polling stations today... and are standing by their figures.

Can we have juts one election night thread? I want to read all comments but I's struggling to keep across both. Either this one or the other one?

 

[Bozza]

I'm with Paddy Ashdown - I'm not convinced by this exit poll at all.

However, for now I don't care. I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the walls of chez [MENTION=1416]Ernest[/MENTION] and [MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION] as the exit poll results were announced. What a beautiful moment.

 

[Don Quixote]

I think the exit poll is wrong. I can't be right, surely?

 

[Vegas Seagull]

See you in the night, can we freeze the swingometer now?

 

[Ernest]

Results won't be much different. A handful of seats maybe.

And the YouGov exit poll is completely different

 

[Driver8]

UKIP appear to have gone very quiet.

 

[Bry Nylon]

It was the Tombstone what lost it.

Would love to see Ashdown eat a hat- smug fool!

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Harriet concedes defeat. Marvellous

In fairness, how can two exit polls be so far apart?

Presumably they asked different people.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Questions I have been asked in the last 5 minutes

1. What's an exit poll?
2. Is Andrew Neill Conservative or Labour?

FFS

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Harriet concedes defeat. Marvellous

She sounds completely deflated, exit poll sounds like it may be close

 

[JCL666]

I think the SNP numbers on the exit poll will be fairly accurate.

That is a far bigger story than Tory vs Labour. The third largest party in the UK will be Scottish.

Mainstream parties won't get back in north of the border. Ever.

Agreed, someone got it very wrong.
