David Dimbleby thinks that the Lib Dem seat count looks dodgy.

Still an hour until the first result, I guess.

Wow. So Cleggomania was just a big media show.

Or spread too thinly to make a big impact. Remember 1983.

307 would be about enough for the Tories to govern as a somewhat stable minority government, wouldn't it?

With DUP and SNP support, yeah.

Jeremy Vine's doing this thing. The seat we need to watch is Waveney, I'd say.

Why does Silver have the popular vote numbers and we don't, and why is his number 341, while the exit poll is 307?

He did backwards math; since the exit poll is based on UNS, he plugged the exit poll seat numbers into the UNS calculator to find what the popular vote would be, and then plugged that into his model, which he argues is more accurate than UNS.

Well, that's flawed.

Splendid, but where did he get the exit poll percentage numbers?

Via a system he claims is inaccurate.

Why have Ben Kingsley and Bruce Forsyth turned up? And the latter's just done his catchphrase.

What does St. Silver know about British elections and that stuff?

Not that much, it seems...

Does anyone know what percentage Labour need to get in Houghton and Sunderland South for the exit poll to be on target?
