A SENIOR Conservative MP has reacted to the Exit Poll for the general election which predicts a Labour majority.

Nigel Huddleston, the former Mid Worcestershire MP and current Droitwich and Evesham Conservative candidate has reacted to the Exit Poll's prediction that Labour will win the General Election. 

Mr Huddleston said: "This campaign was very different to my previous, it was sunny and warm, I managed to get to every ward and people were quite pleasant and genuinely interested in engaging and talking about policy. 

"I would like to win, I think there were a lot of people who were undecided right until the last day and I'm not taking anything for granted. 

"It was nice to talk to residents as a lot of people recognised that I was viable, accessible or had helped them. 

"Although the constituency is called Droitwich and Evesham, 50% of the population live in rural villages which is easy to forget. 

"One of the main things that popped up was to protect that way of life and I sensed concern that it was a big concern if Labour were to get a big majority."

The Exit Poll predicted Labour to get 410 seats, the Conservatives to get 131 seats, Liberal Democrats to get 61 seats, Reform UK to get 13, SNP to get 10 and the Green Party to get 2 seats.

"I have seen the Exit Poll and it looks like Labour is going to get a majority. 

"I am upset to know that a lot of good really hard-working MP's will not be returning to parliament. 

"On a personal and human level, a lot of very good friends look are looking like they might lose their seats. 

"These are people who have given public service for a very long time, so it's a very raw and emotional experience."
