Incredible outcome really, showing just how far off the media in this country are when trying to gauge the British public. The media had us all convinced it was a split vote, nothing between Conservatives and Labour and only a coalition would create any form of Government. Goes to show that the public had very little faith in Labour's economic policy and the prospect of them joining up with the SNP to form a Government was too much.
Labour lost this election when they chose Ed Miliband to lead them. He isn't a strong enough character to carry off a job like that an ultimately he's completely failed to get his own policies across. The knives have been out for him this morning with many Labour figures slating him for a 'confused campaign' where the policies weren't well enough defined and many suggesting the Conservative campaign had been far more broad and far more concise.
An interesting day looms, one that could see the leaders of Labour, Scottish Labour, Lib Dems and UKIP departing. If that happens it would be a crushing victory for Cameron.
One interesting comment I heard this morning was that if the weather was sunny on the day of the election, people are far less likely to vote for change. Another blaming pencils and the complexities of having two voting forms and talking of thousands of votes being spoiled because people hadn't marked with a cross correctly. One has to worry about the future of the country if people can't mark an 'x' in a box with a pencil.
