    How many seats will the Tories gain (or lose) when the results are in?

    I'm going for a 40 seat gain.

    Most younger peeps around here are all for Labour.

    But I predict a Tory landslide of 50+ seats.

    In Southampton & Salisbury today, seen several polling stations where peeps were queing to get in, which suprised me.

    Yep, Tories returned to power with an increased majority. Labour will never be elected whilst the Scots are voting for N.S.

    Seat gain? I think they'll do much better than the bookies expect. Let's go crazy. 70 gain. So from 330 to 400 seats.
    So working majority from 12(?) to 152.

    That appears to be the way they are persuaded. . I mean choose to vote at the moment, but the ones who do manage to drag their reluctant carcasses in the direction of a polling station will likely be welcomed with "yer names not down, yer not coming in".

    Sure, but I wasn't expecting that from the exits. It's going to be a nail biter, not a landslide.

    If the exits are right it will be the 1st time in many a year.

    I'm encouraged by them, the more they say its close, the further apart it will be. :D:D

    This race Newcastle verse Sunderland is all very well, but lets hope they don't mis-count in the rush.

    Ummm. No. The exits are usually right (because they sample how many people actually vote - not just say they will).

    The seat count might be a little off (even enough for a conservative majority), but it won't be the landslide I thought.
