Then again in you still have to be cautious in that they're safe Labour seats where they'll have put no effort in whatsoever. With Labour campaigning hard, I'd struggle to imagine they'd perform as badly in all of their target seats as the exit poll suggests, particularly in London.

I just can't see how this is a tory success. Cameron has not won a majority in two elections. Last one should have been a shoe in, this one a bit harder but how is a hung parliament a success.
Just feel it's a bit un honest to claim the victory when they still do not seem like they have a majority

It's a victory over expectations which is close enough. Let's wait to see how accurate it is though.

Absolutely hilarious that the SNP are gonna end up with 58 of the 59 seats in Scotland but end up with no power.
Wrong election to peak at.

They will be quietly pleased with a Tory government. Call a 2nd referendum for independence and most likely win it.

How can they call a referendum? The have no power to do it. No Tory would do it as they'd be the one that broke up britain. Cameron only did it last time because he thought they had no chance.

If english people wanted it they wouldnt have switched from labour to tory at the last minute because they were scared brickless about the scots getting into power.

I really dont think the tories care about Scotland. The more tinkled off the scots are the less chance there is of them voting labour. Its win win for the tories.
Of course, the next big thing to come on the radar will be an EU referendum (assuming Tories are gonna be the next government). Over the next few years, we could potentially see the breakup of the UK and whatever is left of the union being outside of the EU. Interesting times!

I think this SNP landslide will work against them in the end. The SNP will get some serious power in Scotland after today and have to actually answer to the Scottish people rather than point at Westminster and blame them.
Give the SNP power to spend and raise taxes and lets see how it works out for them.

Yeah, they play the anti-Tory card publically, but the Scottish vote returning over 50 SNP MPs at the same time as England electing a Tory government is the stuff of their wet-dreams.
Looks like they are going to have a majority now, or at least close enough to make no difference with Sinn Feinn not taking up their seats.
