strong and stable
 
Can someone explain what is going on?

The exit poll has placed the Conservative party at 314 seats, but Labour, SNP and Liberal Democrat combined ALSO at 314 seats. The remaining few seats go to the green party, Plaid Cymru (Welsh party) and independents.

In other words, Conservative will probably win overall, but they might be a minority government meaning that they can't shaft the poor with impunity for the next five years.
 
assuming it's accurate, etc etc,

happy the tories took a beating, less happy about the SNP collapse. I don't know how much that affects their westminster hand.
 
Fair play to Corbyn if it pans out like this. He ran a truly great campaign and I always though he was decent. He was given a terrible time by his own MPs and the media.
 
Wasn't the last exit poll wrong?

Not getting any hopes up and I really recommend everyone keep expectations in check. No need to get hopeful and then have them dashed in a few hours.

They underestimated the final number of Tory seats, but they caught the unexpected support for them. This time round, it seems that the exit poll has caught a noticeable increase in Labour support.
