tories have now gone odds on in a matter of minutes to 1.64 from 2.4 to win by a majority ,what is going on .
price is reacting to the scary swings in percentage in Washington
2 very safe seats of labour , their vote has collapsed from last time ,is there going to be a collapse in the marginal seats ,hmmmmmmmmmm very intresting .
2.58 is now becoming a very tempting bet for no overall majority .
if the tories get the majority then maybe Labour will realise how shallow,pointless,petty and directionless they have become.Blair and his acolytes will blame it all on Gordon who for mine has been no worse nor better than his predecessor.At least Brown has some semblance of integrity.Any truth that Blair is hawking himself for Strictly Ballroom,BGT or the ice skating show?
Anyone with an IQ over 130 is a Tory.....Fact....
If those BBC exit poll figures are right we could have a Unionist MP in a Tory cabinet.
3 results and the labour share vote well down again in all .
Where's Big Mac in all this? Should be a pundit with Paxman.
sheffield , islington ,hull ,manchester and many towns, people not been able to cast their votes utter chaos in the streets . the courts are going to be very busy ,as voters are getting very angry.
"sorry, you can't vote because we've run out of ballot papers" 
should have called in Ugandans to monitor the election!

Hippie ,the reason they are giving , surprised by the high turn up of people ,utter fiasco . Voters are having a seat in at Sheffield now .
Surely they should assume a 100% turnout and have that number of ballot papers. Or is that too obvious?
Just think if the party need 1 seat to win and those voters were not allowed to cast their vote ,what happens then ? People are saying they waited since 9pm in the rain and they closed the doors at 10pm not allowing them to vote .
1.83 now for no overall majority ,do i take a profit and run
paxman's arrogance with his hands folded leaning back firing questions .
Is he married or does he have a 10% swing to the other side?
His married and got a few kids . He has been publicly criticised over his and his partner's home help arrangements. Having advertised on a Romanian website, they hired two people at below minimum wage without a written contract.
Paxman lives with his partner Elizabeth Ann Clough in Stonor, Oxfordshire. They have three children: Jessica, and twins Victoria and Jack. He supports Leeds United,[5] and enjoys fly fishing in his leisure time.[33] He is vice-chairman of the Wild Trout Trust conservation charity.
When, in his twenties, Paxman unsuccessfully applied for the vacant editorship of the venerable Labour-supporting weekly The New Statesman, he said he considered himself a socialist.[34][35] He had previously stood as a Communist candidate in school elections.[35] More recently, he has been described as "the archetypal floating voter", and Jon Snow once said that Paxman's greatest strength was being "not very political".[35] Paxman himself has stated:
"I do understand we have to have a government, and I do firmly believe in democracy. So it's not true to say I'm not a political person. I am a political person. But I'm not a party political person. I don't believe there is a monopoly of wisdom in any one party. I suppose as one gets older - I would have described it at the age of 21 as the process of selling out, but another way of looking at it is to say, actually, the world is not a very simple place, and that as you get older simple-minded solutions seem less attractive."[35]

Caroline Lucas is rumoured to have taken Brighton Pavilion.

all the tv news readers are predicting a hung parliament ,but the guys on here are predicting a tory majority ,confusing picture .
ph ,the tory majority price hit 1.63 half an hour ago ,joke now a sensible price of 2.14
there's a fella waving a tenner at Robinson whilst he makes his defeat speech in belfast
tory strong again as overall majority 1.87 from 2.4 what is going on
kingswood the tory win from labour with a swing lead ,wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
looking a huge majority likely now . they are going to do a demolistion job
torbay lib dem hold ,con miss out on this deffo seat for them
is the con march comming to a halt not been able to take torbay
ffs tutan 5 min ago you was saying there will be a huge tory majority, mind u the market is all over the place as well
fat ,all the tv stations are saying a hung parliament , but all the money on here is going on a con majority ,madness .
The money is starting to look right.
Kingswood wasn't a major increase in the Tory vote, the Labour vote collapsed. If the near 10% swing is repeated everywhere the Tories have got the majority.

the seat they should have taken they did not . but the seat at kingswood they did not accept to win they cook it .
just heard on radio the labour holds in wales are with very low swings . these swings are varying from area to area
Blunkett has just been on the BBC conceding defeat - the price should swing now!
It looks like taking seats from the lib dem , for the con is going to be very difficult
jeremy paxman is not a tory. He is however completely professional and would never show whom he supports in his interviews.
all i can see, the prediction by ashcroft of 100 seat predicted by lib dem will never happen ,the bubble has surely ben burst for nick nick
Labour are desperate to deal with them though.
If it is hung and there's Lib/Lab deal the first order of business will be electoral reform. The next election would be proportional representation.

con have now missed 3 seat which were on the list . they need a few rabbits out the hat now .
Glasgow East was technically a gain. They lost it in a by-election protest vote in 2008 to the SNP
Good night lads ,I have cashed in my chips of 2.58 to 1.52 and can go to sleep winning .Good luck to you if you are stay to the bitter end . I still think hung parliament is the end result ,thanks for the company.
It is starting to look hung.

You think Ian Hislop is a Tory? Dear me.

Ian Hislop is something of a chameleon.
I think he was prob born a tory, has been well left of centre and now is caught between two stools. Just cynical.

we really must be a thick nation.who r these idiots voting for g brown?perhaps they want riots and destruction.and as for u liberal voters who dont know who u or wat u r,well u still have a prime minister who is dragging us all down with him,well done,give yourself a pat on the back.
cgull...........i dont know nothing about politics but i know that horrible git hislop is not a supporter of the labour party ........
He's on £900K of licence fee money so Paxo maybe confused. He's a rich Tory but relies on state funding 
As I have said many times before a hung parliament will happen and now we are here ,let the cat fighting begin . My only pleasure of the night was seeing that Nick Griffin(BNP) losing his seat and that Lembic OpiK (LDM) been ousted ,just shows how popular the Cheeky GirlS had become . Now we will have another election at the end of this year .
highlights were seeing charles clarke and jackie smith kicked out.disappointing to see ed balls and hazel blears voted in again.unbeleivable that anyone can vote for these dreadful individuals.they clearly shouldnt have the vote
