The SNP exit poll is very interesting. SNP did well in the council elections recently. It doesn't make sense that the Tories could take so many seats from the SNP while they are so hated up here, especially if their count is down in the rest of the country. The only way that could happen is if they galvanised the anti-independence vote, but that's rather contrived. More likely SNP have lost seats back to Labour because people wanted rid of the Tories. But be aware that exit polls in Scotland were only held in 10 different constituencies, so it's a much smaller sample than elsewhere.
I find it interesting though that the exit poll is 314 to Tories, but add up the other parties not including Others and it's also 314. A hung parliament would be excellent. It works very well in other governments. Conservatives have gone further right to counter the successfully UKIP threat but now no one will go in a coalition with them. They're really going to have to swing back to the middle in order to make deals. Remember that both Lib Dems and SNP are pro-remain. This probably means a referendum on the final Brexit deal and this could mean that Brexit doesn't happen.
