-21 for CON/LD
+20 for LAB/SNP

That gaps just keeps widening... Still waiting for the good news for the right.

What the hell is that? UK politics don't work in blocks like that.

If the Tories win what I think is a recount against the SNP in Berwickshire, they could end up the second-largest party (by number of MPs) in Scotland.

They will if they win it. Berwickshire is the only non-declared seat in Scotland.

At the very least, Cameron remains PM until the Queen's Speech.

These are wrong counts. Neither will be a coalition. Tories will govern on their own.

George Galloway has been blown out of Bradford. Labour has a majority of 11,000.

The Tories will most certainly be running the show for at least a few years; most probably the full five.

What the hell is that? UK politics don't work in blocks like that.

Obviously, but A) I was referencing a few pages back where those totals were reported as half that; B) As a very, very sad Lib Dem supporter, I would at least be hoping the non-Scottish seats would be heading to the Tories which is not happening; and C) Despite the shock at the success of the Conservatives tonight (relative to polled expectations), the current coalition is still getting killed rather than holding steady even if they manage to stay in power. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

SF and SDLP lost a lot of ground in NI.   Looks like some of it was to the APNI who managed to lose their own seat.
