Good news, ITV's coverage will have 'expert analysis' from Gideon and Yvette Cooper's husband (and bff of Andy Burnham) so you can probably expect chat in that direction a whole lot earlier

If they do a call-in, ask Ed Balls how much ITV have paid for him for the evening.

Imagine the excitement just 24 hours from now as we await that exit poll.

I've been refining my own model based on the latest available data and i've derived my final forecast: 45% Tories, 33% Labour. 80 seat majority.

When the exit poll dropped in 2015, there were massive reactions, Cameron jokingly offered Curtice a dukedom and Miliband's team were in tears.

No matter what happens tomorrow, I have the smallest amount of hope.

A really radical manifesto got serious traction. With policies that were different and focused in so many people that have had a hard time and a hard life.

A small hope.

Bit harsh, we just meant to have continued sucking the dick of absolutely awful people like Tom Harris and John Reid and all these wanks? At some point Scottish Labour (and Labour in general) need to actually loving look into why they have been mostly abandoned by working class communities in places like Ayrshire and the Central Belt and Fife. Say this time and time again, self reflection has been totally absent.

430 seats is pretty bold, it'd be the biggest single-party haul of all time (smashing Blair's 97 record by 12 seats), and depending on SNP and Lib Dems could also break the 1997 record for largest lead over the second-place party. 80-seat *lead* I could see (Electoral Calculus has a 55-seat lead with the Tories getting 361 seats, for example).

Care to punt a fiver for charity on my book, if you're that confident? If it comes to it, 430 seats will get you 56:1 on Sporting Index.

430 seats would be a 210 seat majority.

Socialists in Ayr need to get behind Cullinane. Let all the CLPs see there's a real demand for that type of person, who has ideals, but can, seemingly, co-operate with the other parties when needed.

Unfortunately, I think all hope is lost for both Lanarkshires.

To be fair, there are very few actual Tory/Lib marginals in the country. If you're just in a godforsaken Tory hellhole, then you should vote Labour to shore up their popular vote and give some ammunition for the inevitable leadership challenge from the centrists.
