Exit polls are in

[HairyArsedBloke]

Reports of long queues at polling stations when polling closed at 10pm.

What daft fecker leaves it until the last minute to turn up to vote!?

Fecking clueless.

Well, the election was called on short notice and there hasn't been much publicity about it.

For the gurning village idiots, how do you calculate the majority?

326 is the magic number.

Interesting - it's not the party with the most votes that forms govt in a hung vote scenario but the sitting govt.

Didn't know that.

Its the sitting PM actually. As I mentioned in another thread, the PM and Government doesnt resign when Parliament is disolved or when the election votes are counted.

The PM has to tender his resignation to the Queen first before anyone else can try and form a Government.

Something to do with it being (650 / 2) + 1, perhaps?

Just called @davidcameron to congratulate him on the victory. Even though results aren't in we know the Conservatives had a great day
