Well, with 619 of 646 seats called, they currently have a 99-seat margin according to BBC, so the slimmist margin possible now is a 72-seat margin.

BBC has up-to-date information on the election if you want it.

And given that 18 of these are in Northern Ireland where they don't stand...and one isn't voting today so the total is actually 645...safe to say it'll be 70ish. And that 68 was from the exit polls. Pretty much spot on.

I read on one of the British Newspaper's websites that Labour only picked up one seat, does anyone know which seat it was?

I was so happy that C-SPAN had the BBC simulcast on election night. From 5PM-10PM East Coast Time. I finally got to see Jeremy Paxman, and heard Gordon Brown speak for the first time. It was awesome!

Yeah, tell me about it. Tony is great but why are Republicans cheering on Labour? Read alittle more into these things, guys.

True Tony Blair's been a great ally of the U.S. in the war on terrorism, but his party is way more liberal than the average republican, .

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/election2005/stateofparties/0,15991,,00.html

This is from the Guardian's website. It says Labour gained 1 seat, Conservatives gained 38 seats, Lib Dems 15 and Others 9.

Guardian made an error - they said that Lab Gained Leicester South, but it was already a Labour seat.

Because he's one of our staunchest allies in Iraq.

Thanks for naming the seat htmldon.

I checked the Guardian's map page and it says Leicester South was held by Labour in 2001 but a Liberal Democrat (Parmjit Singh Gill) won it in a by-election last year. Now it says it has a Labour MP (Peter Soulsby).

I'm figuring this out second hand so I may not have all the facts.
