to ask if I'm alone in sensing that the election results will confound the pollsters??

[grovel]

It's just a gut feeling that the nation(s) won't vote as predicted.

Jesus that was some result

Ditto re the Scotland comment - we're not a single entity!

I am not a great fan of UKIP but I do support some of what Nigel says.

UKIP will get lots of votes. Not many seats but lots of votes. Lib dems are finished

I'm surprised that people are surprised that UKIP are getting lots of votes. People are concerned about mass immigration. I rarely hear an English voice in my local town or the town I grew up in which is 30 minutes away. It's very apparent that economic migration on a widespread scale has happened and is happening.

I would have voted Green was it not for the leader's open house policy on worldwide and uninterrupted immigration. I just don't see how a tiny country with a huge housing crisis can support the world's population flooding in? It's bizarre to me and I think it's easy to shout racism and xenophobia when what we need is a frank conversation and the only party willing to talk about it was UKIP.

Say the exit poll is accurate and the lib dems get ten seats but Nick Clegg loses his seat...what then?

It's easy to shout about racist and xenophobia because most Ukippers appear to be racist and xenophobic.

I think you are right sick - but those votes won't translate into a lot of seats.

If that exit poll is reflective, Tories won't need LibDem. They could be close to a minority with only a handful of 'others', given that Sinn Fein don't turn up to parliament (and therefore don't vote in opposition to Tories).

squoosh...bllsht...the most racist and xenophobic behaviour I have ever come across is from died in the wool labour voters

Was that meant to say 'bullshit'?

Anyway, I have no idea about the people you associate with. I'm talking about UKIP party members.

squoosh at some point someone has to give a shit about the indigenous population of a country otherwise you run the risk of civil unrest. When mainstream parties won't discuss it for fear of being labelled racists, then you leave the door wide open for the likes of UKIP.

I'm liking the bbc's map

Yes I'm aware the main parties have dodged the immigration issue to their (and our) detriment. Doesn't change the fact that UKIP is a racist party and a vote for them is a vote condoning racism.

Living between High Wycombe and Slough there is a huge issue with mass immigration. People living in people's back gardens. This is economic migration, not people fleeing for their lives.

YouGov exit poll puts Tory and Labour closer and LibDem on 38 seats, not 10.

I've just checked the BBC election site and it's predicting a Conservative majority.

See you on the other side everyone, I must sleep!!

Do you have a link to that please wowfudge?

Does anyone really think that the two main parties would have promised to stop immediate benefits when migrants come to this country if there hadn't been a Nigel Farage?

Do you think some of the polling results are down to right wing people quite often feeling like they need to keep quiet?

The left wing people on my Facebook and twitter feeds are shouting from the rooftops (as per). The silent majority?

squoosh...bullshit

whichever way I write it...you still produce it

Ed Balls could lose his seat - let's hope he does. He is a twat

I'm hoping that the 'young voter' turnout will be quite high. Almost everyone on my facebook feed has popped up with 'i've voted', not just the ones I'd expect to (I read politics at uni, so I'd be baffled if any of my old uni mates hadn't voted)

Interestingly, (from fb) I see a lot of DHs old school friends have voted even though they live in one of the safest seats in the country.
