Trevor Kavanagh just been on, asked why he called this result:

British people would not forget in 5 short years the mess left by labour not would they fail to see how in 5 short years the conservatives have turned it around. simple.

Congrats to David Cameron, although he has a likely harder road governing now ironically with a much smaller overall majority status.
Predictions are always unwise as I found out again,which is another reason I love general elections.

I was over the moon to see Esther Mcvey out in Wirral West, I trudged down streets galore in that seat hoping to help see her go and so that is my result of the night.

However,so many more great losses too, the Lib Dem losses of Cable, Laws, Alexander, Hughes, Swinson and Featherstone, excellent, a good payback for the things they supported this last 5 years.

Awful night for Labour, I will stick with them however and hopefully,as this parliament unfolds,see a better result next time, with a new leader however.

One result I am over the moon to see and I have just got in from being at a count,was James Wharton in Stockton South for the Conservatives,a really sound and decent good MP who deserved to hold his seat.
Well done Smudgie there,I would inmagine you are over the moon.

I would like to think,David Cameron will return to the ideas he had when he first became leader,his one nation Conservative hopes and getting rid of the nasty elements in his party.
It is far harder to govern with a small majority than what he has had before,he has massively divided UK and a hostile house of commons as to him too.
I wait and will watch to see what he does with it, with victory it is better to bring humilty into play.
If he carries on arrogantly disregarding large sections of society which is what I see him doing,however I hope he turns back from that.

Awful night for me personally, one the worst results I wanted to see but he has his chance again, I hope he does considerably better with this one.

Been thinking about you a lot Joey,how disappointed you must be,I have to say,I felt a bit sorry for labour as time went on,they have got hammered,obviously I am happy about the Conservatives doing well,I DO think Labour would have stood a far better chance if Milliband hadn't been at the helm,but it's done now,better luck next time round.Really nice post from you,such a gent,I will be voting for you when you are an MP whatever party you represent as I know you are a fair and caring person,now I hope Cameron doesn't let us down and takes us onwards and upwards,it's been great fun debating in the threads.Hugs xx

I'm sorry I can't have Joey's dignity on this, it's disgusting that the disabled are gonna be bullied again, the working class are gonna be bullied again, the rich will hardly do anything to put the money back into the country again, the NHS will be privitised again, the NHS will lose more Doctors and Nurses again, The Police will continue to be cut.

Enjoy the voters that voted for them.

Well Mock,I am working class,and my mom is a carer for a disabled gentleman,we don't feel at all bullied,dont believe all the hype things will be fine,sometimes things have to be implemented we don't like,but that's life,it's not always how we want it.

[Crimson Dynamo]

lol at all the polls pre voting day

and along comes the exit poll and sh**s all over them

a lot of red faces this morning in that industry

Exactly this Kazanne, any party that got into power will have to make difficult decisions like cuts etc to get our debt and deficit down, just not all of them admitted it. It's just what has to be done right now but it won't be this way forever, well I hope...

Exactly RossYou have to be cruel to be kind,if a party makes it a better country for my kids to grow up in,I will take whatever it takes to do that.

Farage has lost and by a fair margin.

[reece(:]

No seat for Farage

Truly a bad day for the working class.

[Northern Monkey]

UKIP are coming in close seconds all over the place,Beating labour.They Just can't win the seats against those Tories.

[Jamesy]

I voted Labour, although I do agree Ed is to blame a lot for a Tory victory. He is not suit as a leader for one of the major parties. People vote by learders more than policies and depressingly Cameron is the best leader and spokesperson out the bunch.

Hopefully these rumours are true of Milliband leaving Labour and we can see a strong person take over and get Labour back in power in 5 years times to clean up the inevitable mess the Tories will leave behind them.

[Glenn.]

Pretty happy with the result. A resignation from Milliband please.

He's going, I take little pleasure from that but do think he is right to do so.

I have met him and he always showed genuine concern and appreciation for all party activists and had a good message really,however didn't fully clarify things.
None of them did really,to be fair.

Also, absolutely no one saw the virutal wipeout of the Lib Dems, it was clear they had lost votes but no one saw their loss of seats on that scale and by the margis they lost most of them too.

We can hope, that David Cameron, repeals the fixed term parliament act,which will then let him decide when the next election is again.
It can be that Prime Ministers are caught out, calling elections they think they can win.
I really don't see with such a small majority, where David Cameron will want to be tied to a possible 5 year fixed term now.

I will have a vote as a member who will lead Labour now, so I will wait eagerly to see who throws their hat in the ring this time.

Is it unprecedented for so many opposition party leaders to stand down enmasse, I expect Natalie Bennett will step down as well?
