Exit Poll Result : this could be waaaaaaay out..

labour majority of 66 down from mid 100s..  a loss of 4%
conservatives gained 44 seats    .. but a 0% change.. (dunno how that works? lol)
lib dems gained 2 seats.. viewed as a disapp ointment for them..  gains of +3%
others UKIP, BNP etc .. gains of +2%


said to be bad for the labour party....

if this exit poll is right it'd be the smallest winning majority by a government ever

It's been a while since I've studied british politics, but I really like the way you handle things over there. It's an nice system.

I'm sure I'm wrong, but I was under the assumption that there are 645 Parliamentary districts?

Don Seer:
nice system in that the person with the most seats actually wins? :)


"How many constituencies are there in the UK?
There are 646 seats up for grabs in 2005. The number fluctuates with electoral boundary changes and has been reduced from the 659 in the current Parliament but cutting the number of Scottish seats, to reflect devolution. In the 1992 Parliament there were 651 constituencies."
