ForzaDundee Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Utter seethe from the nationalists, a 4-2 victory for the union and the yes campaign sent homeward tae think again. Pleasing UKIP, Tories and Labour are nationalist too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Can't disagree with that. I thought that part in particular was spot on. I agree with a lot of what he's saying but I doubt posting dozens and dozens of consecutive raging tweets will change the minds of any No voters.

vikingTON Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Lib Dems finish a distant 6th in North Ayrshire, with less than half the votes of the fifth-placed Greens. Complete obliteration on an atomic level now. SNP won as is now standard, not that the BBC would be interested in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 The SNP "won" with about 10% less share of the vote than the polls suggested and failed to gain any seats. its an okay night for the SNP as a party, but a DISASTER for yes Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 From a quick flick through the individual council results (excluding W Isles), am I correct in saying that the SNP won the majority, were 2nd in a minority and were only pushed into 3rd in Dumfries & Galloway & East Ren?

Enigma Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I hardly heard anything about the SNP in the run up to this, no point in wasting your effort on an election they won without even breaking a sweat. All the news will be about the referendum in the run up to that. How do all the seats work out now with regards the results all declared save the Western Isles?

Ad Lib Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 UKIP looking increasingly likely to take the seat short of something pretty extreme happening in the Western Isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 They've taken it Lib. Even if every single vote went SNP they couldnt catch them, too small an electorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 You'd be forgiven for thinking, courtesy of the BBC's 'regional' results update there, that Labour had actually won the vote. As it is, another canter to victory for the SNP - one party state now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 UKIP looking increasingly likely to take the seat short of something pretty extreme happening in the Western Isles. SNP need 33,000 votes to nil. Isn't going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 c.30% all hail the new political new order. c.30% disaster, all round poor night. BBC seem to think SNP 3rd seat still possible, glorious, nae sensational, should that happen. Imagine SNP will top W. Isles 40% at least going by past two Scottish Parliament vote, just depends how UKIP do there. Notice the BBC listing the seats as Labour - 2, SNP - 2 etc. cheeky fuckers.

Mr Bairn Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just played around with the figures, and it turns out the Lib Dems would need there to be 12 MEPs in Scotland for George Lyon to keep his place. A true hammering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would wonder why the party that is practically certain to finish second would be placed in the apparent first place. Would I be accused of wearing my tinfoil hat if I suggested bias?

vikingTON Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 That Tory South-East speech should be replayed oh, 1 million times before September. They really do represent an entirely different nation all the way down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
