   Yep, gained 50 seats, and totally destroyed predictions.   
      
   I was a bit surprised that UKIP didn't do a little better.

   Total turnout in most areas of the US is lucky to hit 50%,   
   but our elections are quite a bit different.   
      
   There is FAR more choice in the UK, even if some of the choices   
   are comical rather than serious (Monster Raving Loony Party).

   Have you seen Russell Brand's take on the election?   
   Humourous, but realistic at well.
