I'm following The Daily Telegraph & The Guardian, because the American media sucks and wouldn't follow a foreign election if it's life depended on it.

If you're trying to watch something, I'd recommend the ITV broadcast on C-SPAN. I'm pretty sure it's the only way to watch the coverage on TV.

They're saying the Lib Dems aren't going to get their deposit back in many seats. How low do you have to fall for that to happen?

Lib Dems lose Colchester to the Tories. Apparently, that's horrifically bad news for them.

Brighton Pavilion will be declaring in a few minutes.

It's a Green hold.

Sky News projects Conservative Majority, with 326 seats. Sad

I know it's a bit late for observations, but one thing that surprised me as I watching the results was how efficient the Tory vote was in England (despite the combination of a collapsed Lib Dem vote and substantially higher UKIP vote). Despite Labour being up 3.6% and the Conservatives only up 1.4% in England, it was a Conservative gain of 21 and a Labour gain of 15. I know the conventional wisdom in Canada is that roughly 40% nationwide is majority territory. Is a roughly 41% vote share in England the typical threshold for a Tory Majority (obviously considering they're not going to get their majority elsewhere)?
