The returning officer's speech in Ceredigion was a shock.  I always forget that there are parts of the UK where English isn't the primary language.

The conservatives will get a majority. That's increasingly clear.

I find it hard that every UKIP voter is voting strategically, I have no idea how its possible but it looks like that is exactly what is happening.

They managed 7.5% in '05. It's a very socially conservative place.

Lib Dems, who once nearly took Oxford East, have come fourth this time, behind the Greens.

SNP gain Paisley & Renfrewshire South: Douglas Alexander out.

The three London seats where they did badly are naturally poor territory for them - cosmopolitan and gentrified inner London.

Failed to oust the Lib Dems in Ceredigion. Ynys Mon (Labour-held) is their only remaining prospect.

BBC says Mhairi Black is the youngest MP elected at least since the early 1800s.

Edit: since the 1600s, they are now saying.

UUP get a positive swing towards them in Upper Bann, which was their only other prospect of a gain from the DUP, but fail to win.
