HibeeJibee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hadn't noticed in the melee, but Conservatives held Ayr against the SNP challenge. Infact their vote only fell 1%. That's a bright light for them, tbh... Lib Dems fell 3.7%, Labour fell 4%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleyjaggi Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm absolutely stoked . The fact people are actually talking of potential snp majority is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 The gains keep coming! There isn't much more to be said anymore, I'm basically lost for words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Greens will be amiable to SNP, and they've got 1 seat already. Plus if Margo gets in, she's ex-SNP after all... And the non-SNP parties will likely "lose" a seat, assuming Alex Fergusson returns as Presiding Officer. Adds up. Suggestions are Labour will have to provide a Presiding Officer this time.

xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Why's this? Everyone else has had a turn I believe. The SNP, Lib Dems, and Tories have provided one in each Parliament so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Everyone else has had a turn I believe. The SNP, Lib Dems, and Tories have provided one in each Parliament so far... Fair enough. Are the Greens planning on making it their shot when they lose all their seats anyway in 2016 after the Lib Dems romp back to take all 129 seats?

Are the Greens planning on making it their shot when they lose all their seats anyway in 2016 after the Lib Dems romp back to take all 129 seats? In 2016, the Lib Dems will still be paying back the debt racked up by paying for all those lost deposits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by tonight's performance so far, more likely: [small boy in 2016] "Who were the Libermal Debocrats, mummy?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 In 2016, the Lib Dems will still be paying back the debt racked up by paying for all those lost deposits! But they'll have cleared the national debt and will be hailed as kings. FACT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 To recap, the Progressives need just 20 of the remaining 58 seats to overturn the CDU's obstructionism and let the people determine their own future. Where's Wendy when you need her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Good to see Labour getting a shoeing so far. Maybe they'll at least try and sort themselves out now. Depressing to see how many people still voted for them. Do these people live in a media vaccum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm looking forward to hearing what Dickson, Reynard et al. have to say about this? I wonder if Reynard still thinks Salmond will resign? I am floating on sunshine here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 And so it continues. SNP gain Renfrewshire North-West from Labour. And Aberdeen South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
