Yepp, either voters have been lying to opinion pollsters or something very strange happened during the night to overturn a solid month of opinion polls.

Exit polls can be wrong - 1992 they were predicting a hung parliament but a Conservative majority was the outcome.

Whatever the eventual outcome I see a significant number of very slender majorities and a strong possibility of another General Election in the near future, even in Autumn 2015 - God forbid!

I don't believe that poll at all. Both Labour and the Conservatives have been within 3 or 4 points of each other for the last month on around 260-280 seats - I just cannot see how the gap between the two parties has grown so large overnight. I don't think either party will have a majority and I can see another coalition government or possibly a minority government. I think it will be a very long time before there's another majority government again

The first three declared seats are Houghton & Sunderland South, Sunderland Central and Washington & Sunderland West - all three being Labour holds
