I love ragging on betting markets like intrade. They are so utterly useless.

Seems like neither lib dems or tory are doing as well as expected. My money is on a hung parliament, the question I reckon is whether labour and lib dem will do well enough to have a chance at a coalition.

Lembit Opik has just lost out to the tories, I'm sure he has a fruitful career in reality tv ahead.

I think it's most likely that there'll be a hung parliament, but if I were making a bet, it'd be on the conservatives to get the clear majority. That's just because it's a more exciting bet without being ridiculous, though. *shrug* This is why I don't make bets.

I think the word you're looking for is plurality. There cannot be a hung parliament if one party gets a majority.

Edit: Or, I misread your post.

It is going to be so close, but I think an overall majority is slowly pulling away from Cameron, he will have the greater mandate but it looks like he might not do well enough to come through on the deals. Someone standing against him in Whitney is dressed as Jesus.

I don't know much about the history of how British poll results come in, but at this point it seems like those exit polls are way off.

With just under a third of the seats in it's:
Labour - 88
Conservative - 82
Lib. Dem - 10

There is some news personality on the BBC with the first name is Jeremy. He's an absolute dick to all of these politicians and I think I love him

Jeremy Paxman? Yeah he's awesome, his middle name is actually DICKson.

His finest moment from way back:

It is too early to say how accurate exit polls were, but they certainly seem right about the Lib Dems being shockingly less succesful than the run up suggested.

Tories overtaken Labour in seats.

this totally reminds me of the black adder election episode. I mean, this seems to be precisely like that.

Fuck you, FPTP.

Hung Parliament, and as it stands, Lib/Lab can't form a majority coalition.

Ah, fuck. Social Democrats got three seats. This'll be a talking point for Him for the next half decade. *sigh*
