Stroud has a new MP. Conservative Candidate Neil Carmichael defeated incumbent David Drew (Labour) with a narrow majority. So regardless of what happens, I think I'll definitely see a change.
But it's been a decidedly mixed night for the Tories. Tricky times.
Still, we should rejoice! Caroline Lucas is the first Green Party candidate to become an MP, and that despicable peddler of hate Nick Griffin got completely thrashed in Barking by Margaret Hodge. Hooray for elements of democracy!
We still won't know how things will go, but the Lib Dems might just get to do a deal with Labour. Nick Clegg's just won his seat, and Labour and the Lib Dems combined have 270 seats, compared to the Conservatives' 275.
The Conservatives are short by 52, with just 78 seats to declare.
It looks like we'll be in for a fair bit of haggling: don't you go anywhere!
