    What you're talking about is a thrifty, well behaved, grateful, ignorant under class who tug their forelocks to their betters. It's little different to that scenario.

    Tories 84 seats ahead - but looking likely to struggle to make a government.

    The best I have been hoping for was a hung parliament with Labour able to make up a coalition.

    Exciting. Now how much will the Shy Tory vote add to that. 2015 the exit poll was 316 which ended up 331

    Just heard this on the BBC!! It would be fantastic if this is the case and JC deserves full praise for his campaign if this is the situation. Fingers crossed.

    Wow - i love that Exit Poll. If that is result, it is an incredible result for Labour given everything thrown at Jeremy during this campaign.

    Looks like May has had her chips!

    I bet the turnout was high among the young voters.

    Yikes. If those numbers were bang on I could see May (or someone) governing with support from the Northern Irish Unionists. Not sure I believe the SNP losing 20 seats though.

    Who have the SNP lost 17 seats to? Basically TM cannot proceed with Brexit without the support of the DUP and Ulster Unionists and that could be highly contentious. What is she going to offer them to get them on board? Hopefully she fails in that area, then she is toast. Sarkozy for Conservative leader.

    You'd think so. Not sure I can see any government lasting that long if those numbers happen.
