May 7, 20214 yr The Lib Dems have won Orkney in the day's first result from Scotland. STOP THE COUNT. In other news; water is wet!
May 7, 20214 yr Why do you keep thinking me staying true to my belief in eternal franchise = unionist? I'm really, really not. I think you should get a vote in the referendum, regardless of whether you are abroad at the time or not.
May 7, 20214 yr Also, had everyone already retained our democratic RIGHT, with one million UK immigrants in Europe, we could have run the EU non-binding opinion poll extremely close - so close, in fact, that Mad May and Blojo would have been seen as even MORE outrageously authoritarian for forcing us into Brexshit Totalitus on a wafer-thin non-binding vote.
May 7, 20214 yr Aberdeen Donside: SNP Tories increase 8% �� That’s awful if it’s like that across the board!
May 7, 20214 yr That’s awful if it’s like that across the board! Aberdeen voted No. They are less pro-indy.
May 7, 20214 yr Did the other unionist parties decrease though?- I despite the Tories but could see them increasing at expense of Labour as long as Indy vote goes up (and I know it's only one result)
May 7, 20214 yr Pretty surprising they have an SNP MSP I guess, I’ll be honest I haven’t analysed the previous election results like I normally do. They do say on bbc that there may be tactical unionist voting.
May 7, 20214 yr Clydebank an interesting vote there SNP win/hold the seat but Labour gaining 10% while SNP on slightly down 2% but what will that mean for the other old industrial seats where the votes are a lot closer.
May 7, 20214 yr Is it going to be at all possible to extrapolate list results from constituency figures at this stage? Not sure how this all works in practice.
May 7, 20214 yr Did the other unionist parties decrease though?- I despite the Tories but could see them increasing at expense of Labour as long as Indy vote goes up (and I know it's only one result) Yes and no. Turn out is up everywhere which is good, nearly all the seats with the lowest turnout last time went nationalist. So higher turnout could be from tactical unionist voting as much as it is about new voters and an increase in SNP support. It’s quite tough to tell. In the Western Isles a party that took nearly 10% of the vote last time didn’t stand and their votes are redistributed mainly among unionist parties. Some of this is repeated over Scotland. In Aberdeen on pure vote count, the SNP candidate won more votes than any candidate has ever done in that seat before. Share of the vote is down but actual number of votes is up. Is it going to be at all possible to extrapolate list results from constituency figures at this stage? Not sure how this all works in practice. Not really. No real idea of what the list vote looks like. The Clydebank one showing some tactical unionist voting will be tough to see how that then unfolds on the list. Most regions are only counting half the seats today. List will probably not be known fully until Sunday
May 7, 20214 yr @1390659725390405633 Big tory target, big Tory fail. Which other candidate won 10% last time in that Western Isles seat? One of the phobics. Think it was Scottish Family Party. The vote will mainly have gone to the other homophobic c**ts in the race, the Tories.
May 7, 20214 yr So is it looking good? Scotland is worlds apart from the rest of the UK, which is enjoying a slide into serfdom, doffing its cap to the landed elite.

May 7, 20214 yr Im clinging in hope that the SNP give me some ray of light today by gaining a majority or a majority with the Greens....
May 7, 20214 yr So is it looking good? Scotland is worlds apart from the rest of the UK, which is enjoying a slide into serfdom, doffing its cap to the landed elite. Theres no doubt the SNP has a landslide victory. Honestly not much to draw from this so far. Vote up in Dundee West, Aberdeen Donside & Orkney is good. Stronger island showing should get us a seat on the H&I list. Majority and vote up in Perthshire north which was such a big target for the Tories they stood serial election loser (like worse than Farage) Murdo Fraser in the seat hoping his tour de farce at the Salmond inquest would get him elected - that was a good result for the SNP. Unionist tactical voting in Clydebank a concern but honestly a lot of marginals to come. These were fairly safe seats. Especially the two islands, Dundee and Clydebank. Even in Aberdeen our vote was over 50%, Perthshire north just under at 49,5% Think a good 24 hrs away from knowing if we can add 2 seats to hit the magic 65
May 7, 20214 yr Im clinging in hope that the SNP give me some ray of light today by gaining a majority or a majority with the Greens.... An Indy majority at this point is a certainty. No way it fails. If we lose a few constituencies then we pick up on the list. We only took like 48 constituency seats in 2011 after all - and that would come at hands of unionists rather than greens. Greens should come out with at least 7-9 probably as high as 11.
