Calm down, calm down

Post by David Johnson »

Calm down, calm down. Its only an exit poll, dears!

It doesn't take into account the views postal voters and the exit poll the BBC did in 1992 was 30+ seats out.

Let's wait a bit, eh?

Given the exit poll shows 307 Tories 255 Labour and 59 Lib Dems, either this exit poll is totally up the spout or the polls held in previous days are totally up the spout.

Otherwise I cant see how a Lib Dem rise of around 10% in the vote can result in a 3% drop in seats even in the weird electoral system we have in the UK. Maybe I am about to be proved wrong, but something looks a bit strange here.
