Labour and SNP were going to make a coalition, am I correct in thinking that? So does that mean you just add the Labour and SNP seats together and compare them with the tories?
 
Based on?

I don't want Ed Balls near the treasury, and I trust Cameron more than Miliband going forward. I do think the Lib Dems have softened the Tory blow though.

Am I weird for hoping for another Lib/Con coalition?

Also, as a poor person, I've done pretty well the last few years - single father and all.
 
Interesting. Sniffing around the internet, the Lib Dems & Labour in Scotland are apparently saying the exit polls doesn't match their experience on the ground. The exit poll has been pretty accurate for years, but obviously if there's ever going to be an election where old exit poll systems fails its this one, with such a huge number of changes in seats, new parties etc.

Still wouldnt bet against the exit poll though.
 
Farage was right! Ten seconds after the exit poll, a band of wandering foreign minstrels moved into my attic.

Nah, Lab/Lib coalition, with the SNP on a vote by vote/supply on demand basis. But that might not happen now.

Beeb are claiming it's the most accurate exit poll in history, but they would say that :D
 
The exit polls are usually pretty accurate.

The tories despite the whinging from the left have not really done anything than be pretty steady.

You have to feck up on a Major/Brown level to get ousted in most cases.

If everything is going steady people are quite happy to go with what they know.

Not sure what this means exactly? Just take what is needed to win I'm guessing?

Ed will look like a knob if he teams up with SNP.

Lab/Libs would have a minority government, which the SNP would technically support. Although they'd maybe have challenged it on certain votes/issues, to try and have some influence themselves.
 
Can someone explain to me how these exit polls work?
I gather from reading online that they ask every 10th person who votes who they've voted for then analyse the results of that to form the results? Or is there more to it? I've never really been into this whole election stuff
 
If you're some old cnut whos loaded and you vote Tory than at least I can see why.

I just don't get why anyone else would vote for them, they don't give a feck about anyone who isn't part of the elite.
 
Please don't call me a cnut too, I'm a lovely bloke I promise. I'm not a millionaire, feck, at the moment I'm studying whilst working as a trolley boy in a supermarket. I just genuinely think they're the best thing for the country at present.

The last 5 years with the rise of food banks, the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer. Best thing for the country?

Ignoring all that I don't understand how anybody could vote for a guy and a party which aims to repeal the hunting ban and then claim that it's a "sport". Football's a sport. Rugby's a sport. Snobs chasing a terrified animal and cheering and applauding as their hounds rip it to shreds is not a sport. I couldn't live with myself knowing I'd voted for that.

That's the thing that's annoying me, people don't get that.
 
Exit poll only needs to be a few votes out for the Tories to fail to get a majority together.

The Labour Party don't look to have done anywhere near enough to claim a legitimate minority government though. Tories will scrape something together with rump Lib Dems, DUP + UKIP... or a second election!!

You're not a cnut geezer.
 
Do people who vote for the Tories keep quiet then? I don't know many people who voted for them, almost everyone voted Labour.

Tories with UKIP + DUP sounds terrifying.:nervous:
 
Both can feck off. I'm entitled to be poor and still vote Conservative, like I said, I swung from Lib Dem last time out. I'm a pretty poor single dad, and I fecking hate tabloids.

May the fleas of a thousand camels curse your clothing!

It's cool mate, I was joking.:lol:

I don't like them, but you're entitled to your views obviously.

They have 80% of the media dishing out the usual fear-mongering BS about how Labour will wreck havoc on the economy and how the SNP will be running Westminster.

Unfortunately, people fall for the politics of fear.

I'm entitled to stick my hand into the fire. I'd be stupid to do so.
