[You kip if you want to...]

The Uni students must've been to drunk to show up for the Liberals.

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

Conservatives hold Newbury.

Labour holds Islwyn (swing of 9.1% from Labour to Conservatives).

The Sun actually had a picture of Cameron in "Yes We Can" style yesterday.

[Verily]

Yes we can... Jesus, that is soooo 2008.

It was actually, "Yes we Khan," for Sadiq Khan.

It was actually "Yes we Khan."

These have to be the most distorted early election returns I have ever seen.  That's not surprising, as N. Ireland and Wales are being counted first.

So far all 14 Conservative seats are from England.

Are Labour doing better than expected, along with the Conservatives doing worse?

[Dan the Roman]

Guildford is a disaster for the Liberal Democrats, they may well end up down on 2005. Amusingly LDs whined about polls undestimating their support of all things.

[Silent Hunter]

So, a question for the Americans here- how do you like our election results?

Labour gains 1

Well, Guildford had an LD incumbent in 2005, not this year, so, if they are just holding steady rather than advancing, losing a lot of votes there is not a surprise. Very disappointing overall, but Guildford is not the reason.

No. I'd say, Conservatives are doing very well, Labor is better then expected (at least by me) in Scotland only, LD are doing badly - do not seem to be doing better than in 2005 in England and actually do far worse in Scotland.

[Chancellor of the Duchy of Little Lever and Darcy Lever]

Lab gain Blaenau Gwent from People's Voice.

In 1997, all the Tory seats were in England.

[Хahar 🤔]

What happened in Blaenau Gwent?

[You kip if you want to...]

Labour gains Bleaneu Gwent. Was saying so for a year, but chicken out when I actually did my prediction map.

Interesting.

That map on the floor thing was pretty cool, but the rest, ehhhh.

[Phony Moderate]

Labour hold Gedling.

So, a likely Con majority?

I apologize that we don't have will.i.am being a hologram in the BBC studio.

[Silent Hunter]

You can see the total vote count here.

I feel vindicated about this being a two-horse race all around.

[The Man From G.O.P.]

Barring potential bad news in Scotland and Wales for the tories, is this about to become the biggest case of electoral dysfunction in a long time for the Lib Dems.
