Despair sets in

C's getting despondent now. Alastair Campbell has conceded that Labour aren't going to be winning this one, and though he's viewed as a Blair lackey, there's grudging respect for him in Bryanston Towers.

I'm less sure where it's all going. Tory minority now seems more likely than Labour-LibDem coalition (my two heavily-hedged predictions the other day), but the results are still quite mixed - the Tories are taking some seats with impressive swings (often up to 10%), but they're also failing to take some others. The LibDems held onto Torbay in the southwest earlier, and a anti-Tory Unionist in Northern Ireland has just beaten the Tory Unionist candidate.
