OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/05/2010 06:24

22 constituencies (I think) are due to start counting this morning. (why cant they do it over night like everyone else)

SomeGuy · 07/05/2010 06:16

Tories now 294
Labour 247
Lib Dems 51

29 marginals remaining

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/05/2010 06:14

FrakkinTheReturningOfficer · 07/05/2010 06:13

OhYouBadBadKitten · 07/05/2010 06:13

Hooray for Brighton Pavilion!! So proud..

SomeGuy · 07/05/2010 06:11

I make the numbers, based on declared results, plus safe seats yet to declare:

Tories - 293
Labour - 246
Lib Dems - 50
DUP - 8
SNP - 6
SF - 4
PC - 3
SDLP - 3
Alliance - 1
Green - 1
Unionist - 1
Speaker - 1

Then there are 32 remaining marginals, which could be won by the Tories.

So Tories can get a MAXIMUM of 325, which is technically not a majority, but actually is, because SF won't sit.

But they won't get that many.

OTOH, Labour/Lib Dem have 296 seats, so are at the moment a little ahead, because they could win all those 32 remaining seats.

Fair play to anyone who stayed up all night.
