Scottish Referendum / Independence - Vol 7

[simoid]

BBC saying turnout is expected to exceed the 50.4% figure of 2011.

[hidetheelephants]

Orkney is 64% and South Lanark 54% turn-out.

[hidetheelephants]

Pish turn out in Hamilton, 50% and SNP hold on to it although there's a 10% swing from labour to tory. Scottish Labour are fked.

[hidetheelephants]

Libdums held Shetland, increased majority.

[hidetheelephants]

Labour meltdown continues, Tories take Eastwood from Labour in the south side of Glasgow. 68% turn out, 6% swing.

[hidetheelephants]

SNP ream Labour in Greenock; 58% turn out, massive swing.

[hidetheelephants]

I see labour are not getting much traction in the english council elections and Corbyn and Ken Livingstone seem to be getting the blame.

[hidetheelephants]

And we're back in the room; Scottish Labour still fked, exact proportion of fkedness is yet to be revealed.

[hidetheelephants]

A couple of SNP holds, Perth and Moray, but there are big Tory gains of 10+%. The list results will be significant.

[hidetheelephants]

Bawbag Libdem Willie Rennie holds his Dunfermline constituency with a reduced majority. Labour still getting humped.

SNP down slightly overall, Tories up ~10%, Labour down a similar amount; it's another good night for the silly party and 5 more years of silly government in prospect. Interesting times.

[hidetheelephants]

I'm outraged that Scotland's leading navel gazer, John Curtice, is on 'the standby programme' rather than the main event.

[hidetheelephants]

Edinburgh West goes to the Libdems in a shock upset for the SNP. Result attributed to tactical voting.

[hidetheelephants]

Ruthie Tankcommander wins Edinburgh Central from the SNP! 57% turn-out and a big 10% swing bluewards.

[nightcruiser]

Ruth Davidson won Edinburgh Central ?!?!

[hidetheelephants]

Another Tory win in Aberdeenshire West from the SNP; another upset for them.

[hidetheelephants]

Apparently there's a recount going on in Clydebank for the Dumbarton constituency; clearly my tactical vote wasn't a complete waste of time.

She retains it for Labour with a margin of 109 votes! I was one of them! Probably. 13522 against 13413 for the SNP. Woof. I'm quite excited. More beer.
