May has been banging on for weeks about strong and stable leadership. We've seen neither.

Amber Rudd's forecast to lose her seat.
I'm enjoying this whilst it lasts - but I don't believe the exit poll.
I no longer think the Tories are going to get a 50+ seat majority though.
I would loove... just to see that Craig Williams's smarmy smug look wiped off his boat tonight. Loov it!! :angry:
Closet Tories come out with your hands up, we have the place surrounded :biggrin:

Hastings 'dicey' for Amber Rudd
BBC political editor tweets... Posted at 23:38 Laura Kuenssberg ✔ @bbclaurak
Hastings v dicey for Amber Rudd - would be quite a scalp for Labour to take the Home Sec down
But Prof John Curtice says: "Note that the exit poll does not expect a swing to Labour in this seat. So if Labour has taken it this will be a better result for than anticipated."

UKIP vote in the north east splitting one third Labour, two third Tories.
Also impact of early postal voting probably better for Tories - before the Labour surge.
Rumours that Tories have lost Gower and the Vale of Clwyd

Amber Rudd is a nasty POS -
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7774126.html
Gower likely to be back to Labour
Bridgend to stay Labour
High turnout for Vale of Glamorgan of 72%
Latest betting: Tory 320-326, Labour 250-256.
They must be as confused as the rest of us, Labour doing worse than exit poll in North East, better than exit poll everywhere else.
Labour taking Kensington and Chelsea would be MASSIVE
Swindon South separated by a couple of thousands votes
Only Conservatives and Labour have won seats so far, Channel 4 proclaiming a "return to the two-party system"
Did we ever leave it?
Wrexham are red!
Labour hold Wrexham
Labour hold in Llanelli
Nick Clegg forecast to lose seat. Rudd looks defeated before her result is announced.
Yeah, Tory 303-309, Labour 268-274.
If this carries on for another hour or two we might be approaching political earthquake territory.
If the Tories only get 300 to 305 seats then it would be a Sludge Parliament.
Hopelessly hung.
