The excitement of election night in Britain comes from seeing just how big the favourite party's House of Commons majority is going to be.

As usual, people will be staying up all night, drinking, shouting at the television, and trying to make sense of the rush of results from 650 constituencies.

But this time it will be different. The Conservatives and Labour are running neck and neck but neither is strong enough to form a new government alone.

So it's going to be much more confusing.

Among the possible outcomes tomorrow are: Conservative majority or minority government; Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition; Labour/SNP coalition; Labour/Liberal Democrat coalition; Conservative/Liberal Democrat/DUP coalition; Labour/SNP/Liberal Democrat coalition; and Labour majority or minority government.

At this stage you would be unwise to bet heavily against almost any of the above.

That should tell you one thing: We really don't know what's about to happen.

Here are a few possible scenarios based on the seat forecasts from Election Forecast UK. Note that even though the Conservatives may win the single largest bloc of seats, it looks more likely that Labour will be best placed to lead a new coalition government:
