The picture is now becoming clearer

Conservatives will definitely win most seats, but the Lib Dem seats hold the key as to whether they can get an overall majority

One thing is for sure - it's a drastic night for Labour

I am sure everyone has noticed that ITV is well ahead of the BBC and Sky is slightly ahead of BBC in terms of putting up results.

Not a clue what the BBC are playing at being so far behind.

BBC way behind not sure what they are doing - this has the looks of a hung parliament, I suspect that the exit polls are not going to be too far off.

I've had enough although the swings are great - I am going to take my money and run.

Labour has lost but could still be in - think that we are in for a period of economic instability and lots of musical chairs.

For those of you toughing it out good luck ;)

For your interest the 'No overall majority' market from last night. Over £9m traded.

Overall I think the result was worse than I expected as it appears no party can govern effectively. Even in Labour and Lib Dem's got together there is still no majority.

I stayed up until 5am

It was the first General Election that I traded & the fluctuation of prices as the results came in was fascinating

Well you might get chance to trade one again before the end of the year!

At least Cameron admitted it & made light of it

It's when politicians deny they ever said things that the public get angry
