UK ELECTION 2015 EXIT POLLING RESULTS WITH CONSERVATIVE TAKING THE MAJORITY–VIEW ROLLING TALLY AS ACTUAL RESULTS GETS REPORTED

 

The Conservatives will be the largest party after the General Election, according to an exit poll carried out for the major broadcasters.

The poll put the Conservatives on 316 seats, Labour on 239, the Scottish National Party on 58, the Liberal Democrats on 10 and UKIP on two.

The forecast contradicts months of pre-election polling showing the two largest parties neck and neck.

And the predicted Labour tally would represent the party's worst result since 1987.

David Blunkett, former Labour Home Secretary, said: "I'm going to tell you that I believe the opinion polls were wrong, the exit polls were right and that it is a very, very bad night for us."
