    Ed Balls regurgitating the 'SNP are putting the Tories into No. 10' line. This was the relentless message during the campaign in Scotland from Labour

    Which is why they are being decimated. They have only themselves to blame. Ed Balls is an absolute idiot.

    A likely Tory government with the SNP so big in Scotland, interesting to say the least.

    Mark Carruthers chickening out of questioning Arlene Forster on DUP's sectarian past.
    Joke,

    The Orange Order-influenced DUP, formerly led by Ian Paisley, criticising others for engaging in sectarian politics.

    Joke shop.

    Not getting pinned on it by a supposedly impartial BBC, bigger joke. :)

    Paxman is doing a sort of stand-up routine on channel 4.

    Sad to see

    Everyone is criticising it. Trying to turn it round on the DUP is a red herring, and I say that as someone who cannot stand the DUP.

    It was a sectarian leaflet. SF should just come out and admit that. You can't polish a turd, people aren't idiots.

    The leaflet was dumb and sectarian but let's not pretend like the DUP have any credibility in denouncing sectarianism in politics.

    What's the bigger issue to you?

    Sinn Fein's sectarian election leaflet or Arlene Foster not getting asked a question?

    Simple question, can you answer it straight up?

    The leaflet is just the controversy of the moment, there is a huge issue surrounding sectarianism from all quarters that needs to tackled. Allowing Arlene Forster take the high moral ground is making a nonsense of the problem.

    This could end up as SF winning extra seats giving the Tories a majority which really is irony writ large.

    That doesn't answer the question at all.

    But we'll move on.

    It was a 'have you stopped beating your wife' style question in fairness.

    Not the thread for this debate I agree. I was just passing comment on TV debate.

    Well that Exit Poll has certainly thrown even more uncertainty on the night.

    I really can't see it being right. Opinion polls are never perfect but all to be that wrong and a single exit poll being right seems unlikely, especially with the YouGov showing it quite close to the opinion polls.

    Ed Miliband's been a disaster for Labour. He just doesn't have that leadership quality about him.
