FiveThirtyEight: UK Seats Projection: Tories 299, Labour 199, LibDems 120

I know the Tories aren't as insane as the US Republican party, but they are still the party of Margaret Thatcher. How is having them with more than 45% of the vote and well more of the vote than either other major party a remotely good thing?

I didn't expect the Lib Dems to win - and I can live with a situation that puts a Lib/Lab coalition in front of the Tories. It's not anywhere near ideal, but it's better than an outright Tory victory.
