California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has telephoned David Cameron to congratulate him after the exit poll results were announced. On his Twitter feed, Mr Schwarzenegger wrote: "Just called @davidcameron to congratulate him on the victory. Even though results aren't in we know the Conservatives had a great day."

WTF :/

And BIGGER WTF

Police have been called to some polling stations to move on people who wanted to vote but couldn't because they were still queuing outside at 10pm. In the Manchester Withington constituency, about 200 people were turned away. A spokesman for the returning officer for Manchester said: "The law states that the doors to polling stations must be closed at 10pm exactly, and no-one may be issued with a ballot paper after 10pm."

Sucks to be them, it took me all of 30 seconds

Me too, I was the only one there at around 10 am

At a guess I would say that 326 is the number of total constituencies divided by 2, + 1.

Indeed, all makes sense now.

I can't decide if Fiona Bruce looks Romulan or Vulcan.

They are related genera.

The cheek of the Labour folk to start talking up electoral reform after the nonsense they've pulled.

Not surprising that the swing is higher to the Conservatives in England, our country is going to be majorly Conservative after this election, it's just the inclusion of Labour die hards Wales and Scotland which give them any hope of winning anything.

If Wales and Scotland became independent, Labour would be finished.

[Haiku]

First result now.

 

[Uriel]

Apparently people getting shut out of polling stations is pretty much "without precident". It's practically unheard of.

I reckon this is going to be a high turnout. First result coming in...

Police officers at a polling station in Brockley in Lewisham, south-east London, tell a BBC camera crew that voters are still being allowed to vote at 10.30pm. But the returning officer for Sheffield is apologising after people were unable to cast their votes there because of huge queues at polling stations. John Mothersole admits they were caught out.
