Election
results: Exit poll puts Tories close to majority
BBC,
8
May, 2015
The
Conservatives are set to be the largest party in the Commons but just
short of a majority, according to the general election exit poll.
The
survey taken at polling stations across the UK suggests the Tories
will get 316 MPs to Labour's 239 when all the results have been
counted.
It
suggests the Lib Dems will get 10 MPs, the SNP 58, Plaid Cymru four,
UKIP two and the Greens two.
The
exit poll was conducted by NOP/MORI for the BBC, ITV and Sky.
Labour
and the Lib Dems have both said they do not believe the exit poll
result.
The
first general election results have come in, with the last of the 650
expected on Friday afternoon.

EXIT POLL - UK TAKING FIRST STEP TOWARDS BREAK UP?
The
British election has taken a surprising turn with an exit poll that
shows the Conservatives short of a majority but well ahead of Labour.
As predicted the Liberal Democrats have collapsed whilst the Scottish
Nationalists look to be in line for a clean sweep in Scotland where
Labour is facing wipe out.
IF
this exist poll is correct (and it is only an exit poll) then England
and Scotland are voting in diametrically opposite directions, with
the Conservatives winning convincingly in England, where they seem to
have successfully repositioned themselves as the party that looks
after England, and Labour - the one party that has historically been
strong in both parts of the union - losing to the more nationalistic
parties (the Conservatives and the Scottish Nationalists) in both
Kingdoms.
I
am very sorry to say this, but if this does indeed prove to be the
case then I cannot see the United Kingdom holding together for much
longer. I cannot see how an increasingly Conservative England can
remain united to a left wing Scottish Nationalist dominated Scotland.
Break
up in some form is coming, only faster than even I had feared.
