From a non-presentation point of view, which broadcasters are getting the better interviewers, or is it much the same? I'm only watching the BBC you see...

Is 3 to Labour not correct then, StevieB?


I mean the exit poll that was shown at the start. The Conservative result was updated to 305 and the Lib Dems to 61. ITV still have it at 307 and 59.

@StevieB - any particular reason the exit poll results were changed? Were they processed too quickly to be as reliable as they'd wanted or were there "results" not in at 10?

Are RTE using the MOTD studio in London?

As I understand it, the first exit poll was up to 21:00, the updated results include 21:00-22:00

Oh, right - apologies! Yes, ITV remains with those figures.

@Davidlees - thanks! Interesting to see the Tories go down (I believe) 2 and Lib Dems up 2 in that one hour?

If you want top quality election coverage graphics... then you need to go to Euronews. Laughing

This live stream of Big Ben might get interesting at some point. Can anyone confirm we are looking at it from the right direction?

By 'Big Ben', I mean St. Stephen's Tower of course.
