According to exit polls, they generally mean nothing, how many of you that voted today actually spoke to an exit poll?

BBC are really selling and pushing this exit poll result.
They're going to look a little silly if it comes in closer to the yougov poll.

I wonder if we'll see a swell of support for election reform from the right if UKIP do only win 2 seats with such a huge vote share.
Still time for more of this?
Not surprising.
They were fairly spot on last time apparently.
I'm just looking forward to having more Scottish accents in politics.
fecking depressing.
Yeah, certainly no surprise. What's really of interest is their vote share, if they've got a high vote share and the Tories are still supposed to be getting all those seats, something seems awry.
Post referendum though will they have much relevance?
They've been polling 12-18% for well over 18 months, Lib Dems have been less than 10% the entire time.
Absolute madness.
If that exit poll is correct then I shall be campaigning for Brighton to join Scotland when it goes independent.
Didn't expect them to get so many votes...pretty worrying to be honest. Popular vote is the total number of votes yes? Sorry if thats a stupid question
I thought we all expected UKIP to be the third biggest party at this election?
Who knew xenophobia would be so popular these days.
I think it's the numbers of votes they are getting. That's worrying.
We could take Brighton. Seems like a deal.
There was an element of protest about it at this election. Now that they're actually established, Farage is going to have to come up with some realistic policies. He'll get exposed soon enough.
Got asked my address by some Lib Dem supporters not my vote choice. I think the Conservative's were always going to be the largest party due to Labour's hit in Scotland, but if they do get to the 316 predicted then that would be very amazing.
We did. As much as we don't like them, I'm surprised that people seem surprised. It's been a foregone conclusion for ages.
One seat where even I would vote Labour.
Tactical voting against the 'tartan terror'?
Aye but they have gained alot of votes since the last election and that worries me.
It's not gonna work out mate, long distance relationships never do.
Given some of their numbers in Sunderland, the total could be higher than previously thought.
He's a goner if he doesn't win his seat, which is quite possible.
Like Nick says, they'll be the third biggest party in terms of popular vote, and an even bigger factor in the next election.
I haven't been following that closely and I thought they would just be a marginal party like the BNP. Didn't expect them to have this much support...
I did too.. they've been ahead for a while. What surprised me is the predicted seats, they haven't capitalised on it at all.
at the Mirror's front pageUKIP mainly taking votes from Labour and Lib Dems
Danny Alexander gone, that would be fantastic.
Essentially this is boiling down to who the people who voted lib demos last time voted for this time. The majority of shifts lap pear to be lib dem seats and SNP rather than any mammoth shift in backing for labour or conservatives.
Danny Alexander a goner apparently.
Daily Mirror front page for tomorrow
That's what I'm thinking too. I can see them taking more than 2 seats, as well.
Luckily there is no credible alternative in their party to replace him.
BBC America is showing Kitchen Nightmares. Where can I watch this?
This BBC guy is not sure he's going to talk to anyone ever again.
