    Or it could be that the shy Tories have come out in force just like 1992

    This is such a big election the turnout should be high

    Think NYA called 1992. I agreed.

    Incredible exit polls if they're remotely accurate. Tories gain seats and Labour loses them, ringing endorsement for Cameron over Miliband.

    Seems that way.

    Exit polls showing Tories to romp home.

    Tories 316
    Labour 239
    SNP 58
    Others 25
    Lib Dems 10
    UKIP 2

    "Romp home"?

    *chuckles*
    So you are not surprised then? I'm amazed how big the difference is.
    I am just surprised that a poll indicating that the Tories have failed to win a majority for the fifth successive general election, is described as "romping home".

    Talk about pissing on you're chips with that exit poll. Might as well go to bed then.

    That's a pretty amazing result (if accurate) and I'm a Labour supporter.

    If you have to lose then try and do so gracefully.

    Does anyone else think it slightly unseemly the rush at Sunderland ? Does it actually matter if it takes a couple of hours longer.

    Yes, if it's true I'll be chuckling as well.

    Potential for the polls being wrong imo. Con vote could be impacted by the LibDem vote being higher than exit poll, similarly from UKIP.

    Labour could pick a few off from the high SNP vote, and some of the Con marginals.

    The more I think, the more I can't believe that exit poll.

    I'm not placing quite as much faith in the accuracy of the exit poll. The political landscape and tactical voting behaviours are possibly not yet understood and properly factored in by the statisticians.

    The YouGov exit poll looks very different:

    YouGov exit poll - CON 284 MPs, LAB 263, LIBS 31, SNP 48, UKIP 2, PLAID 3, GREEN 1

    I've got a load spread out on my dining room table at the moment but I've got to get 'em all sorted and back down the town hall by 11.

    I don't go into the sniping stuff, but if the ruling party increases it's vote for a second term, then I really can't see how you can say it is anything but.

    If that exit poll is right, then wow. Absolutely amazing. Every single pollster got it wrong.

    Can't quite believe it myself.

    My life has improved since 2010. I have had two children.

    Although, of course, I have been unaffected by the improvement of living standards that is so obvious around me as we rise out of recession.

    I suppose in your world Labour have won according to the exit polls.

    Anyway, we'll have to wait and see.
