By 145,193 votes to 138,852, the Tories have indeed topped the poll in Wales for the first time since 1918; even better, they'd take my constituency of Newport West.
This is a huge surprise, and is quicker than the other results that are taking ages to arrive. The whole political landscape of Wales is changing.
Even more surprising was the UKIP MEP in Wales - Wales has been generally less Eurosceptic than the rest of Britain. I remember the UKIP Wales office down the road from me, and the election poster on Chepstow Road, but otherwise I haven't noticed them that much.
Either way, the future looks different, and I look forward to it.
