xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 These are what I think of as the "insult to injury" seats. The Safe East Coast Seats have started to roll in, and the SNP are piling up the votes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Think I'll try and catch a few hours sleep before school now. Let the safe east-coast seats pile up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Surprised Edinburgh South wasn't more emphatic. Lib Dems only just nudged into 3rd place but a comfortable deposit kept. Guess the little things count. How much have the Lib Dems lost on deposits tonight so far? They should consider moving to being a List party only.

HibeeJibee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Edinburgh Southern is a hellish open seat... figures were SNP 9,900 / Labour 9,200 / Lib Dem 8,200 / Conservative 6,200. Real battleground that. Must make it extremely volatile, any swing away from someone and everyone's in contention. Watching that full return reminded me - apparently Berwickshire has had the lowest Scottish figures for spoilt ballots* in recent elections. Let's see how low we can go later tonight. *undoubtedly due to our high levels of intelligence and fine standards of education... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Remember Jim Murphy? In 2010 he declared it to be the start of the end for the SNP. Boy did he get that wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McB Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Absolutely delighted about the Glasgow Cathcart result, first time someone I've voted for will end up sitting in Parliament (either Edinburgh or London) and I'm *cough*almostthirty*cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 How much does a deposit cost? IIRC it's £500 per constituency. I think there's a deposit for the regional list but I can't remember what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Goldie never really expected to win. As the Tories aren't fools, she's top of the constituency list though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Oh btw, check out the CDU feed on occasion, all they've been doing is bitching all night about how nobody wants independence, about how nothing is feasible and now about how difficult Salmond would find it cutting back if he had, err, a majority govenrment! They are absolutely fucking clueless, dealing with these issues is piss-easy compared to this prising open of west-central Scotland. What can't an SNP campaign realistically acheive after this landslide, while in government, after the biggest economic crisis in 70 years and rampant unemployment? And SNP take Renfrewshire North.

xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Btw, in Wales, Labour are on course for an absolute majority, and they continue to smash their way through England. Scotland is different. We are leaving the Cold Dead Union behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact it's turning out an alright night for them. Labour and the Lib Dems are in free-fall, the Tories are at least weathering the SNP storm better. Held Galloway, too.
