A note about rumours after the polls close: be really really careful about believing these, unless they come from a credible source. And even then don't treat as fact. A lot of false rumours get spread around early on election nights; quite why people bother I have no idea, but they do.

It's to keep the surprise effect when a rumour actually turns out to be true, for example the rumour about Portillo losing his seat. ^^

any turnout informations so far?

There are some rumours that it is as high, or even higher, as five years ago.
We will know nothing for certain until the seats start declaring though.

Even if the exit poll is wrong, it can't be that wrong. Cameron lives.

It can be that wrong; Oct 1974 is a classic example.

What happened then? I know about 1992, but I haven't heard of Oct 1974 as an exit polling snafu.

I think the exit poll in 1974 showed a Labor majority of 130 or so, and in the end their majority was just 4 seats.

Wasn't that 1964?

Anyway, the BBC poll was quite wrong in 1987 if I'm not mistaken.

I hope Ashdown eats his hat tomorrow, preferably on live television.

I think many of us are looking forward to it. ^^
