It is heartening to see - so far - that a significant chunk of the electorate wants to claim this country back.
Labour has given up (there are no Benns, Shores or Foots left nowadays) , the Tories have been incompetent and the Limp Dumbs have simply never bothered.
A bit of light relief from the tension. We're going to Wales for a bit of coffee break stuff.
It does look like Farage will be quitting politics shortly after 4am
Much hypothecating that the Tories have held off UKIP fairly well, but UKIP making most ground from former Labour voters.
I want to go to bed, but know I won't sleep till I know if that exit poll is accurate.
BBC....
I am finding this quite fascinating....

Could the exit poll have underestimated the number of seats the Tories are going to take?

Good to see Justine Greening get back in. I rate her highly.
It was Ed's tombstone wot lost it
Maybe a Conservative Majority not quite out of the question?
Absolutely fascinating even though we have only had a handful of results.
Locally it looks as if my MP John Hemmings (Birmingham Yardley) will be out, beaten by Labour, and in Birmingham Edgbaston, one of the few Labour MPs I have time for, Gisela Stuart, looks to have lost to the Tories, such a shame for both of them.
Farage is toast. Tories have won Thanet. Tories could have an overall majority.

If Labour can't get this they are done.
In most of the seats declared so far, the Greens have beaten the Lib Dems.
Welsh Windbag now on the TV. Even he's conceding.
Curtice: Don't rule out a Tory majority
Battersea - swing from Labour to Tories.
I'll eat humble pie and say this is a famous victory for Cameron.
Vince Cable may have lost
