Well (if the exit polls are to be believed) the Tories will be up 109 seats from a 2% increase in votes, but hey, that's democracy.beige wrote:1% more, but less seats.RuleBritannia wrote:Exit poll percentages:

ITV has Kinnock ... and Widdecombe. 
Hard to beat Dimbleby and Paxman as anchor types though. The Beeb has that angle covered.

Apparently not enough staff to handle the amount of people.
