Swampy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Is there anyone on this thread willing to speak up for Labour? Dickson? There are usually a good few Unionists on election night! barrysnotter is presumably out at a count, he'll be on tomorrow no doubt. The rest of them are quite rightly hiding themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 People worrying about the SNP losing list seats. Remember that despite the increase in constituency seats all over the place, the list vote according to the exit polls and other indicators could be up by as much as 15%+ and Labour and Lib Dem down substantially.

Yes, but of course the 15% (projected) increase won't translate into seats automatically. It depends in huge part where the votes increase.

vikingTON Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Uh right. So we have McCabe, Kerr saying 'we will learn from the electorate'. Then we have Gray and the lackeys singing 'the Lib Dem voters done it and ran away'. They just don't fucking get it, do they? They actually think their second landslide defeat on the trot is a mere quirk of fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we have Gray and the lackeys singing 'the Lib Dem voters done it and ran away'. They just don't fucking get it, do they? They actually think their second landslide defeat on the trot is a mere quirk of fortune. What you're hearing is when McCabe and Kerr no longer have to follow the party line... Based on 4 seats so far, let's see. It's early yet. Agreed. I'm getting far too over excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 STV reckons SNP have Airdrie and Shotts and also Cumbernauld nailed. In 1999 the figures were Labour 18,338 and SNP 9,353. In 2003 the figures were Labour 14,209 and SNP 5,232. In 2007 the figures were Labour 11,907 and SNP 10,461. UK constituency been Labour forever, basically. It was John Smith's seat. With Alex Neil contesting it, and against the background of the swings we've seen tonight, it may actually fall. My girlfriend and her pals have always bemoaned it being somewhere which always went Labour, narrowly or hugely, no matter what. This could be pretty historic, in a local context.
