Re: Thursday 7th May
I seem to be watching the ITV coverage more than the others.
We need a few more results.

I wonder whether UKIPpers have voted Tory in marginals for that reason.howsillyofme1 wrote:Tories 'quietly confident' of holding Nuneaton - that would be a bad one if true
Marginals turning against Labour it seems - the SNP fear factor looks like it may have worked if this is confirmed

I guess UKIP has gone strongly Tory in the South and also taken some Labour votes......

Good point @StuartWilksHeeg: Turnout barely up at all in the 3 Sunderland seats, up by an average of only 0.6% so far #GE2015
David Head @DavidHeadViews 1 min1 minute ago
The low Sunderland turnouts are truly dreadful. Voters not wanting to lift a finger to improve their lot.

Re: Thursday 7th May
Absolutely. Sun editor said that they were predicting Conservative win but with lots of caveats. So why is their front page so unequivocally proclaiming for Cons? And did he only agree to go on the Beeb if it wouldn't be AN interviewing him?Hobiejoe wrote:FFS BBC, why weren't you asking Sun editor about the two-faced approach BEFORE the sodding election.

Nuneaton is the 35th on the marginal target list for Labour to win. 2069 majority defended by tories.

Gove on ITV asked if Tory research agreed with the BBC exit poll...He couldn't answer. Actually said he didn't know.

BBC saying Greens expected to gain Norwich South. That'd be a surprise considering the 2010 results.

Well if it turns out that Labour switchers to UKIP is the deciding factor in this election then I hope those fools enjoy their Conservative government.

My constituency, Newcastle East is about to declare. It will be for Labour, and I really do not believe that exit poll. Fingers crossed.

Christ, I've just gone from Gauke (on the Beeb) to Ken Clarke (on ITV).
Interesting shade of puce, is Clarke. Thought the colour balance on my TV had gone out for a second.

Suggestions are that Swindon South is staying Tory - it seems these suburban commuter belt seats are staying Tory
The country is truly divided......I predict a really nasty aftermath and do not feel positive that our society will escape without significant damage
