I'll be looking at that one.

It's not the prettiest, but seems to have quite a lot of data once the results start coming in.

Thanks, hopefully there is another one out there that is not a cartogram and I can compare with both.

If this is accurate, this means a big Labour rebound in Scotland, correct?

Here is the Pound vs the Dollar right now:

Would May be the shortest PM in office ever?

Since Andrew Bonar Law in the 20s, yes.

Lol Bonar Law (one of the funniest names in political history)

Just saw a tweet that even Labour operatives don't believe this exit poll.

[Gass3268]

BBC saying the young vote has come out to vote, in line with that the polls where thinking.

They are saying that the signals have been very consistant so far.

[Gass3268]

The exit poll is right probably.

Good lord, can we please not play this doom and gloom-to-OMG we're going to win based off of every individual result? That'll drive you (and everyone else) insane.

Sounds boring. That's what everybody does. That's what nights like these are supposed to look like.

WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!

Can anyone explain why the Northeast always comes in first as a pack?

[Gass3268]

BBC just said that Labour won Battersea

[Gass3268]

BBC says that Labour picked up a seat from the Conservatives, where was that?

These swings in London are amazing.

[Gass3268]

So I've been at work since polls closed. Apart from Clegg losing and a smalk swing to Labour, how is the overall seat projection looking?

 
  
Apparently Ruth Davidson saved the Tories. Not entirely sure if it will be the 326 though.

326 is the official mark that ignores that Sinn Fein won't take the oath.

The real number is likely 323.

SF has 2 seats so far - if that's all they get then that reduces parliament from 650 to 648 -> 325 needed for a majority.

They just gained another seat

[Gass3268]

Lol at the dude in the Elmo costume with May.

[Gass3268]

Damn, Conservatives are going to lose Canterbury for the first time since 1918!

[Gass3268]

Go Elmo!

[Gass3268]

Wtf is with the Elmo guy

He got 3 votes!

[Gass3268]

BBC now forcasting 318 Tory, 267 Labour

Good to see that move back down.

[Gass3268]

Labour majority of 187 in Canterbury

LABOUR GAIN CANTERBURY

First time since 1918!

[Gass3268]

Any reason why BBC has such a LibDem boner?

[Gass3268]

Conservative gain in Mansfield.

That's been with Labor since 1923.

[Gass3268]

Labor gained Brighton Kemptown in a landslide
