The 9 results where the party with the fewest votes got the majority of the seats was your Lower House so I guess your House of Representatives which uses the AV system.
And yes, more likely to produce hung parliaments but not a certainty

It plummeted overnight anyway and nothing to do with the election.

This is true.
I was between lib-con for voting and settled with lib dems because I wanted to see major reforms happening. Of course, there were aspects I didn't fully agree with on the lib dems but for me personally they spoke for more of the things I was for.
It seems to me that the general consensus here on this forum is if you don't vote conservative you are dumb, ill-informed and a joke to the voting the system - because your view/vote is not in line with theirs. It's this pathetic snobbery and attitude of superiority over people's views is really obvious here by some posters dominating the threads and protected/backed-up by their bandwagon buddies.
I am sorry if this offends some of you but it is blatantly obvious in this forum discussion of the election more so than others I have visited. Not a very welcoming nature of discussion at all from what I have observed over the last few weeks right up to now.
didn't the libdems lose seats and barely scrape 1% more votes than last time?
It wouldn't. See my post above. They would have had only 235 seats. The only people who gain would be the Lib Dems with an extra 100 seats.
Sorry i though it worked on percentages, as in the Cons have the greatest number of votes therefore they would govern.
I swear it had everything to do with the election, I know it was decreasing already because of the Greece issue which found its way to Wall Street but a lack of confidence in the government had to of affected it.
It was going up and down all night due to the predicted election outcome.

Watching the guy on BBC1 now claiming that the Conservatives have lost and seeing Paxman's incredulous face is hilarious. 
dont agree at all .
everyone i know couldn't decide between labour/lib dem and there similarity's but what they decided ages ago was that they 100% didn't want the conservatives to get in.
people who hate labour voted tory. people who hate the tories had 2 choices and where split between them.
+1
The two big parties know that PR would benefit the Lib Dems at their own expense. It makes more sense to maintain the cosy little "club of two."

Not to the detriment of the wishes of the Public. Give us a referendum at the very least - let us decide.

I think (and may be wrong)
Nick Clegg is saying 'The Tories sound best at the moment' to make his hand stronger when he speaks to Labour.
The final result will be a referendum on PR, and a LibLab coalition.

How about exhaustive ballot?
What is that?
What would that mean?
News saying there's a lot of pressure on Cameron from his own party now as they thought he should have cleared up and hasn't, and tbf to them they've got a point. Brown is so unlikeable even those who voted labour don't like him and want him gone, therefore the Cons really should have cleared up.
Also they must fear for the future, Brown is a dead man walking, replace him with a likeable frontman and Labour will win the next election, that's got to be their fear.
