Even if the exit poll is wrong, it can't be that wrong. Cameron lives.

It can be that wrong; Oct 1974 is a classic example.

What happened then? I know about 1992, but I haven't heard of Oct 1974 as an exit polling snafu.

I think the exit poll in 1974 showed a Labor majority of 130 or so, and in the end their majority was just 4 seats.

Wasn't that 1964?

Anyway, the BBC poll was quite wrong in 1987 if I'm not mistaken.

I may be mistaken, but I'm not sure they actually did exit polls as early as 1964.

I would be surprised if this wasn't the end for Farage, Clegg and Milliband as leaders of their respective parties.
