    People are saying the exit poll was a shock (which it was). I'll tell you what would be an even bigger shock - if the exit poll is out enough to give Ed a legitimate shot at power.

    Exit polls don't give anyone a shot at power.

    Ed Balls looks a frightened man.

    Im sure Ed is wealthy enough to be getting a nice tax cut by the Tories within the next few years.

    If Millband has lost seats overall he surely must resign

    I'm fully behind Ed. I'd be gutted if he resigned.

    Typical, I bought my Euros yesterday, as I thought Labour were going to take power, after coming a close 2nd.

    If the Exit polls are right Miliband, Farage & Clegg will all be gone within 2 months.

    most of the seats that ed will lose will be to the snp. So even if the polls are out slightly, it doesn't help him. He's basically relying on the lib dems not doing as badly and ukip taking more seats away from the tories. Which, imo, is very hopeful thinking.

    There can't be a situation now where flippin Ed Miliband is in power. Surely! It would be a global laughing stock.

    I hope there can be. I really don't get the British public, haven't we suffered enough?
    What have we suffered? It would have BEen worse under labour!

    Just stuck a few quid on the Tories to cosy up to UKIP to form a government. 50-1

    Tory line from the Sun and others that they can run with 310 and no coalition. That worked well for Callaghan in the 70s!

    I predict another election within 12-18 months. Labour can chose to fight today or ditch Ed and take Dave out laters.

    Bottom line is the Tories have 70-100 eurosceptics and I suspect certain interests will want to see that play out!

    Detail of the exit poll suggests that Tories have won nothing from Labour but have cannibalised their lib Dem coalition partners!

    How can coalition continue? We are in for a rollercoaster!

    Did anyone hear the numbers from Swindon? That was a Labour target but I think there was a swing towards the Tories.

    The exit poll has accurately predicted all 4 seats so far. Don't think the CEO of Ipsos Mori is home and hosed yet but nuts they have got the swings so accurate.

    Farage has apparently lost, but it looks like he's got an EU referendum.
