LD had 47 seats in the outgoing Parliament so this is an electoral wipeout for them. Labour has also lost a bunch of seats.
The Tories have gained 14+ seats over the 302 they had last time so its pretty good night for them.

Rather hilarious listening to the BBC Talking Heads trying to explain why the pre-election polls were so wrong, and why UKIP is getting so many votes.

The biggest loser is LD if they go down to 10 seats. What is more remarkable is their loss of votes in the aggregate. UKIP has experienced major gains in total votes. Eventually, this could turn into seats.
The Tories will have to form a coalition if they don't get 326 seats. It looks like it will be with NI instead of ND.
