It was Labour or Plaid Cmyru. Not really much of a choice.

This seems to be a surprise election. What is the chance of a hung parliament at this point?

You can tell by the reporting that the Conservatives are doing much better than expected. The looks on their faces speak volumes.

Conservatives aren't getting the kind of vote gains they need to so that sort of damage.

There's talk that the Tories won Battersea - that would be an utter shock.

Conservatives are actually DOWN -0.3% so far in popular vote; it is the LibDems and the ultra-right wing fringe parties UKIP and BNP (ugggggghhhh!!!) that made the gains.

75 years ago or so, in another country, the Reds were rioting on a regular basis, the economy was in the toilet, and the middle class was getting scared. Then a man came along who promised to get the country back on its feet, and whose supporters had no hesitation at wading in on the Reds with fists, sticks, and whatever. This impressed a bunch of people, and they voted him into office.

And they didn't mind his funny little mustache at all

The Richard Gere looking anchor is hilarious trying to interview Jack Straw. Jack Straw is evidently having problems with his audio, keeps getting his own voice as feedback.

Richard Gere II keeps saying "none of us really know much of what's happening here tonight">

LOLOL!
