Guest Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Loving this. Was confident of a strong SNP showing but to achieve such massive swings in traditional Labour heartlands and a possible majority in the Parliament is unbelievable. Anyone got a video or picture of this chap in his jeans? :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivo den Bieman Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Mike Russell winning Argyll by a substantial amount. Lib Dems, who had hopes to win this seat, may end up third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jie Bie Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 STV is calling seven of the remaining nine constituencies for the SNP... http://news.stv.tv/election-2011/live/ Cowdenbeath Scottish Labour HOLD North East Fife Scottish Liberal Democrats HOLD Argyll and Bute Scottish National Party HOLD Clackmannanshire and Dunblane Scottish National Party HOLD Mid Fife and Glenrothes Scottish National Party HOLD Na h-Eileanan an Iar Scottish National Party HOLD Stirling Scottish National Party GAIN FROM Scottish Labour Kirkcaldy Scottish National Party GAIN FROM Scottish Labour Dunfermline Scottish National Party GAIN FROM Scottish Liberal Democrats If they were to win those seven seats then they'd only be two seats away from a majority. Some news from Stirling suggesting it is a comfortable SNP win so that should be one down in the next few minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Consider me delighted. This is just...unbelievable. I reckon Gray will be stuck taking it on the chin for 18 months/2 years. They've got to reboot the party and sticking someone else to get a kicking front and centre isn't going to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Switched to the British coverage for a bit, nice to see a Scottish Lib Dem MP going in for a bit of "too wee, too poor" fearmongering...did they learn nothing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Did anyone see the declaration last night where the independent guy got something like 500 votes and stormed off the stage in a huff? Yes - that was John McKee, whose website was linked to earlier in the thread. The guy's not quite right, hope he's OK: http://john-mckee.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 You know, I think Ad Lib was the first person to call an SNP majority based on some gossip he'd been fed. And I mocked him for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 . A Clyde fan in Parliament! The SNP candidate here in Rutherglen is a Clyde fan, only 2000 votes away from getting in which is pretty amazing cause Labour have always been strong here, apparently been kicked out of some grounds in his time Just amazing, Rutherglen was the first to announce, who'd have thought it would've been a sign of things to come!

Swampy Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I'm watching the STV feed online. It's the same feed as the TV one only without adverts. This exchange honestly just happened because they forgot to cut off the online feed to an ident: "Alan in Edinburgh." "Aye." "Alan in Edinburgh, can you hear me?" "Whossat?" "Bernard." "Bernard the bold, aye." "Thank you very much for your text message, darling." "I can't believe how bad Sally Magnusson was - she doesn't (something) in politics, obviously." I don't know who this Alan guy is, some bearded dude standing outside the Parliament building, but that was quite funny Bernard calling someone "darling" is going to take a while to forget... and ooh the cattiness about Magnusson! They both had a good laugh about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
