Election results: Exit poll puts Tories close to majority - BBC

The Conservatives are set to be the largest party in the Commons but just short of a majority, according to the general election exit poll.

The survey taken at polling stations across the UK suggests the Tories will get 316 MPs to Labour's 239 when all the results have been counted.

It suggests the Lib Dems will get 10 MPs, the SNP 58, Plaid Cymru four, UKIP two and the Greens two.  The exit poll was conducted by NOP/MORI for the BBC, ITV and Sky.

Labour and the Lib Dems have both said they do not believe the exit poll result.  The first general election results have come in, with the last of the 650 expected on Friday afternoon.  Read More at BBC
