UK General Election, Results Coming In

A sleepless night for many, for the politicians, journalists and media staff in particular.

I had predicted a hung parliament.

Results for West Dorset

Results for Yeovil

Results for Somerton and Frome

Rather untypical.

Results at 4.45 am (UK time), after 577 of 650 seats declared.

Scotland: Alex Salmond and Angus Robertson lose their seats.

Update:

0620, after 639 of 650 seats
