Early gains slowing

As expected the Tory gains are slowing; the swings are getting smaller, the results more expected. Labour's now projected to return with a majority of 68. Not great - I'd have preferred 40-50, the best any conservative could expect. But anything below 90 makes it much more difficult for Blair to do whatever he wants.
And London! From an almost completely red splotch on the map, several tracts of London have turned blue tonight, bringing far more political balance to the capital. And that's a good thing.
