Exit poll - Hal gets it (fairly) right?

Exit poll just published by BBC - Lab majority of 66. These guys are really trying to play it up... Andrew Marr: "I think we'll see some seats which were predicted to fall which won't, and we'll see some predicted not to fall which will." Absolutely groundbreaking stuff - pointing out that the swing might be uniform. But with all the money spent on the coverage they had try to make this sound exciting didn't they?

If the results do come out at a Lab majority of 66, that will be fairly close to the Hal Berstram prediction of a majority of 42 - but let's not get ahead of ourselves here. The counters are wetting themselves in Sunderland South trying to declare the election within 17 minutes, or whatever. We're off to the fridge... stay sharp.
