Wow...just
WOW! [edited] The Conservatives ended up with 331 seats, a wafer thin working majority. Paint the town red; paint the country blue. Highlights: turnout was 66%. Miliband, Clegg and Farage all quit in the last hour. UKIP third biggest vote haul: they got 1.5 million more than LDs and they got 2.4 million votes more than the SNP. The SNP got 4.7% of the vote and 50 seats; UKIP got 12.6% of the vote and 1 (one) seat.
Ed Balls lost his seat (haha), George Galloway lost his seat (hahaha) and along with a host of Lib Dems losing their seats, party grandee Paddy Ashdown will have to eat his hat.

Congrats to the team in the blue corner. Slightly surreal situation last night as I went through audited accounts at a Labour club (as I have done for last 22 years) and people were actually wishing for Conservative govt. for sake of economy.
Had could the polls get it so wrong? Well the Labour/SNP spectre affected some but UKIP took away many Labour votes and did very well.
Hope everything is good with you.
Hi Paul! 'saludos'! All well here hope the same with you. Yes how could ALL the polls, ALL the commentators, ALL the media get it so wrong?
Seismic change! Hope the Scots don't go stir crazy now. Greens and UKIP got 5 million votes between them...and 1 seat each.
Miliband: the engraved stone: the heaviest suicide note in history...
