Probably the SNP factor coming in to play. I think think the 'fear the SNP - Labour coalition' rhetoric that Conservatives were espousing would have been especially resonant in some of the more working class seats in Essex and Kent that were veering to UKIP.

No matter who wins, it will probably directly affect about 2% of people reading this thread in a significant way.
Why is the bbc calling for a Tory majority?
Yeah, it seems to have worked amazingly well for them.
In the end, Labour's somewhat misguided "Vote SNP, get Tories" line is looking quite prescient.
Has he died? Its been a while since ive seen him present the weather.
He did. But then UKIP deported him.
What would happen if the PM didn't win his own seat? Has that ever happened?
Erm...well he probably wishes he was dead
He's in jail for noncing.
High turn out in Farage constituency. Could lose seat.
Looks like I'm staying up late tonight.
Off to Co-op to stock up on some snacks.

In fairness based on the current exit poll if labour had won every seat the SNP is predicted to they would still have done rubbish and be trailing the tories
Big fail from ed milliband... Time for a new labour leader
He loses his position as head of party and someone else takes over, probably by vote.
Get me some giant buttons.
Hopefully someone with (at least) the veneer of working class sensibilities about him/her.
I still can't get my head around that exit poll. How is it possible that so many people would vote for more of the same? Everyone here is miserable and moaning all the time!
Farage could be third. Who said voters are apathetic.
But you've got to take into account the Tory "propped up by the SNP" line, which quite possibly could've been a large factor in depressing Labour's vote in marginals. But still yeah if it's true, shocking.
Jesus, man, you're going live on BBC news on Election Night, do your tie properly.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's some tactical voting to keep him out.
Ed should probably declare about now.
I'd love to see that happen one day, would be hilarious
Who is this prick in the pink t-shirt?
Lib Dems with three digits again.
Yep it sounds like it.

Why are we hearing the Sunderland results first?
3 for labour now.
Wonder how many votes that cock Al the pub landlord got.
What's notable here in the 3 Sunderland consistuencies is that the Greens are consistently just beating out the Lib Dems for 4th place.
Even Election Result Announcements aren't safe from the 'I must film this on my mobile phone' wankers.
The bloke in the pink t shirt taking selfies as the results are read out
Sunderland are known historically to get their results out first so they've got a reputation to maintain. Think they have more volunteers than other places.
