I'm expecting the Conservatives to win but it would be hilarious if May has called a snap election because she thought it was an easy win and then messes it up.

Lib Dems won't go in with them again, they were mad to do it last time, doing it again would totally kill them off.

SNP and Plaid have both previously indicated they'd be prepared to work with Labour. If the polls are right that would mean it would be a pretty much equal split.

Happened in early 70's, Wilson had super slim majority, Feb & Oct 74.

So if another party puts their weight behind another party they can gain the majority?

Look at the exit poll numbers & do the maths yourself.

Someone feels a bit safer tonight.

Exit polls split by age starting to appear. Conservatives don't take a lead until you hit the over 55s but of course turnout normally increases with age.

Have the Lib Dems got someone on work experience standing in Sunderland?

Looks like it, how demoralizing for an independent though who gets barely anything.

yeah, but if you look at parties who traditionally cooperate it's very equal.
Add into the mix brexit which is such a contentious issue many MPs will defy the whip and vote against their own party if any brexit related issues make it to a commons vote.
