2. 326 seats is needed for a majority in theory, in reality 323 will do because Sinn Fein don't take their seats in the Commons so don't vote.
3. Yep pretty much, even if the exit polls are right the Tories will need the support of other parties for a majority be that in a formal coalition or just getting their backing issue-by-issue

So if labour got less by say 5 they could still go to power by getting the amount they need? Or am I way way off???
