Tories Pulling Ahead?
By David Orland   ·   May 05, 2005 07:55 PM

Exit polls for the UK elections were released a little over two hours ago. They gave Labour a solid -- if diminshed -- victory, with the vote divided as follows: Conservative 33%, Labour 37%, Liberal Democrat 22%.


Things are now looking much worse for Labour -- and much better for the Tories.


With actual votes now coming in, the Tories appear to be doing considerably better than expected, and there's even talk of a hung Parliament. I'll have more on the outcomes tomorrow. In the meantime, it's worth noting that Labour insiders are worried -- and for a very interesting reason. Earlier this evening, Labour's Margaret Beckett told the BBC that she had a "horrid feeling" that the Tories might be gaining thanks to their emphasis on immigration.


Tomorrow will tell us if she's right.
