It says everything about the effect of the past decade's politics on my psyche that the exit poll was announced and all I could see was 13 seats - 13! - for the far right. I remember hope and exhilaration in 1997. Now, all I feel is dread.

That Labour share of the vote looks small, too. I would have felt a lot happier if it were a lot higher - it means a defeat in five years (to Farage or a Farageist Tory Party) is more likely.
