Could Hal's even be a pessimistic prediction?
Into the St Peters Winter Ale now... this looks like it could be a f***ing bad result for Labour. The overall exit poll swing prediction looks reasonably accurate but in some of the key marginals (either Lab-Con or Lab-Lib Dem) it's quite possible that Labour will be knocked out... e.g. Chris Pond in Gravesham, Bob Marshall-Andrews in Thanet. Blair might not even have a working majority at the end of the night. This could be a blessing in disguise if it leads to the double-quick departure of Tony Blair from Downing St... but just how low will the majority be? Watch on.

It was at this point that we went to bed, despite the illusion of excitement. It was two hours later where we were, and we had an overnight flight to cope with on the Friday.
Incidentally, BBC World's coverage was hilarious... you had Z-list analysts plus occasional cameos from Boris and Shirley Williams, and an anchor man who spliced in snippets of BBC's main coverage with (e.g.) "Here's my colleague and close personal friend David Dimbeleby interviewing someone in a pub"...
