Swampy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 32,294 votes in East Lothian (57.33%) Labour (Gray): 12,536 SNP: 12,385 Tories: 5,344 LD: 1,912 Fair play, the SNP gave that a very good shot considering. Gray's speech (not verbatim) "Thank you Alan, and I want to thank you and eh all of your team in the polling stations and here in the count for the efficient and the effective way they've conducted their election on the close result. Thanks to the police... and thank you to my opponents for fighting your campaigns vigourously but fairly throughout. Above all though I want to thank the people of East Lothian for voting me again for SNP... credit to party members for fighting on phones and doorsteps, but regretfully not lampposts thanks to the council's ban. But my greatest debt is to my agent, Pat Gordon... Pat has delivered a massive..." f**k it, stopped typing because he's talking rubbish. He's talking ENTIRELY about this seat. "It's too late now to offend the rest of Scotland. So I have no hesitation in declaring East Lothian the most beautiful constituency in Scotland." Waxing lyrical. It's actually quite touching, but he's the leader of the fucking party. Well, for tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 In a way, much of me is glad Gray won his seat by a nat's baw-hair after individual recount. His humiliation will be prolonged, and painful. He's going to have to give a 'victory' speech in the midst of catastrophic defeat - and resign as Labour leader, not automatically go. He, leader of Scottish Labour, has had to scrape home in his own (expanded) constituency, on the average attendance of a local Junior side. He's snatched a personal hollow victory, from admist jaws of crushing defeat. He's going to have to sit through 5 years of it. He and his colleagues took the people for granted. The people, it seems, were not so readily forthgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
