the best yet from theTelegrapgh

The SNP will win every seat in Scotland bar one, according to the broadcaster's exit poll that would create huge questions about the longevity of the Union, Ben Riley-Smith reports.
Every Scottish Labour MP will be kicked out of office with Jim Murphy, the Scottish Labour leader, Douglas Alexander, Labour's shadow foreign secretary and Margaret Curran, the shadow Scottish Secretary, all falling.
Leading Liberal Democrats including Danny Alexander, the Chief Secretary of the Treasury, and former leader Charles Kennedy will also be kicked out of office. Alistair Carmichael, the current Lib Dem Scottish Secretary, will be the only MP standing according to that poll.

IF the exit poll holds, With the tories on 316, say +2 from UKIP, is there a chance they can get another 8 without the lib dems? thoughts?

Conservative 316 (+9)
Labour 239 (-19)
SNP 58 (+52)
Lib Dem 10 (-47)
PC 4 (+1)
UKIP 2 (+2)
Green 2 (+1)
Other 19 (+1)

Conservatives held my old home town of Carlisle, which they wrenched off Labour in 2010, with an increased majority.

Labour reckoned that one one of their dead certs.

Could even be an absolute majority at this rate.

I wonder what time Milliband will be told to resign by his Union masters?

Re: UK Election Poll
 
Now saying -1 short of a majority for the tories.

When you elect someone with the personal charisma of a wet flannel to be the leader of your political party in a polity that is driven by media soundbites, then you should expect this type of result. :zzz:

Probable Cons majority, Lib Dems annihilated, Labour big losses, virtually no UKIP, and SNP 56/59 Scottish seats!

almost got it right

who needs separation with a an almost divided Scotland & how can anyone of the three parties speak or be representative for the other parts of the country that they are not voted in - this is a divided UK.

I just don't get it...why? So more years of taking from the poor to give to the rich and what will happen to the NHS?

Still at least Farage has gone..
