SNP's Sturgeon says should treat UK exit poll with caution
LONDON, May 7 (Reuters) - Scottish nationalist leader Nicola Sturgeon said an exit poll showing her party winning 58 of Scotland's 59 seats in Britain's national election should be treated with huge caution.
The exit poll showed Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservatives are on course to win the most seats in parliament with 316 seats, which would be just shy of an outright majority. It put the opposition Labour Party on 239.
