General Election 2015...

[marinello59]

Just been down to vote - never seen the polling station so busy.

Ours was as busy as it was on the night of the referendum. I wonder what the turnout will be in Scotland compared to elsewhere.

[steakbake]

Very busy at the Western when I went.

[ronaldo7]

Our polling station was over 80% when I left at 8.20 Great turn out if replicated across the country.:aok:

[7 Hills]

You are reading the wrong papers then.

I don't read newspapers.

[Hibbyradge]

Our polling station was over 80% when I left at 8.20 Great turn out if replicated across the country.:aok:

Wow.

Bed for me now, then up at 2.30 to watch the results, then off to Mallorca at 7.00!

[hibsbollah]

My god the bbc Scotland coverage is so amateurish. Bbc england for me. Excited :greengrin

[ronaldo7]

Exit poll on Stv has Con 316 Lab 239 LD 10 SNP 58 others 27

If you can get ITV in England - it's worth watching simply for the presenter :drool:

[hibsbollah]

Astonishing exit polls. A right wing tidal wave in england, labour in Scotland decimated. Cameron has a mandate.

[Sir David Gray]

Exit poll on Stv has Con 316 Lab 239 LD 10 SNP 58 others 27

That's the exit poll which all broadcasters are reporting.

BBC and Sky also stating this.

[steakbake]

Astonishing exit polls. A right wing tidal wave in england, labour in Scotland decimated. Cameron has a mandate.

...but not in Scotland!

Wonder how many of the Scottish Labour Party people will be thinking that independence is the only way forward.

If these polls are true, which I doubt - then 59 seats make no difference and we can be led by a government that hasn't a single MP in Scotland.

Never mind the west lothian question - this would be the Westminster question!

[Peevemor]

The Yougov exit poll is a lot tighter. More or less equal Con/Lib - Labour/SNP (with 48 seats).

Con 284
Lab 263
Lib 31
SNP 48
UKIP 2
PC 3
Green 1

[lord bunberry]

What's the figured needed for a majority?

[Moulin Yarns]

Ours was as busy as it was on the night of the referendum. I wonder what the turnout will be in Scotland compared to elsewhere.

just back from aberfeldy, 73% and Pitlochry 75% turnout

[God Petrie]

What's the figured needed for a majority?

326

[lord bunberry]

326

Thanks

[Moulin Yarns]

looks like Scotland will, yet again, get the government it didn't vote for.

[Pretty Boy]

It will probably have a few Labour members in Scotland who aren't brainwashed by the party line wondering how well an independent Scottish Labour Party could have done.

[Beefster]

The UK gets the government it votes for in the UK Parliament election. Scotland gets the government it votes for in the Scottish Parliament election.

Those numbers look a bit more in tune with the majority of polls conducted in recent weeks.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

If you can get ITV in England - it's worth watching simply for the presenter :drool:

I don't recognise him. ;-)

[johnbc70]

The UK gets the government it votes for in the UK Parliament election. Scotland gets the government it votes for in the Scottish Parliament election.

Agreed and not that long ago there was a vote where Scotland decided very much to be part of the UK.

[Jim44]

looks like Scotland will, yet again, get the government it didn't vote for.

Look on the positive side. All that 'expenses' cash filtering through to the Scottish economy. Thanks, Nicola.

[RyeSloan]

Those numbers look a bit more in tune with the majority of polls conducted in recent weeks.

Could really be a night where it just depends on so many close calls....intriguing!

[Hibernia&Alba]

The exit poll is widely different from all the opinion polls, with the Tories only a few seats short of a majority and 75 seats ahead of Labour. I really hope it's wrong: the thought of five more years of this government's policies is horrendous.

[judas]

326

In practice it's 323. Sinn Fein don't sit at Westminster.

[Sir David Gray]

looks like Scotland will, yet again, get the government it didn't vote for.

Scotland isn't voting for a Government in this election though, the UK is.

[Sir David Gray]

First result in from Houghton and Sunderland South - Labour win

UKIP finishes second.

[Colr]

In practice it's 323. Sinn Fein don't sit at Westminster.

Good point.

[(((Fergus)))]

The UK gets the government it votes for in the UK Parliament election. Scotland gets the government it votes for in the Scottish Parliament election.

And nowhere near all Scots vote SNP.

[marinello59]

Keep calm. UKIP could undermine the Tory vote by more than the exit polls show giving Labour more seats.

[BroxburnHibee]

BBC's coverage has been shambolic so far.

Strange that the exit poll is nowhere near any other poll before and the 2 since.

Interesting night ahead

[BroxburnHibee]

ITV suggesting Ed Balls could be in trouble.

[ronaldo7]

Tommy Sheppard just on STV speaking succinctly and with passion.

Thank **** we copy and pasted him from Labour:greengrin

Sky is as bad. Kay Burley was practically letting off party poppers after the exit poll was revealed.

[johnbc70]

When is first Scottish declaration expected?

[BroxburnHibee]

Yeah Kay Burley is the sole reason why I never watch Sky News.

[JeMeSouviens]

When is first Scottish declaration expected?

1.15am, they expect one of the Lanarkshire seats to be first.

[johnbc70]

1.15am, they expect one of the Lanarkshire seats to be first.

Thanks, will tell us a lot.

[Sir David Gray]

Second result in from Sunderland Central - Labour win.

[Sir David Gray]

Third result in from Washington and Sunderland West - Labour win.

UKIP second again.

Oh please be true that's one result I'm keeping a special malt in reserve for

Ruth Davison on STV just suggested Labour will be "gubbed" tonight. Could never imagine Sir Alex Douglas-Home saying that! 😀

[Colr]

And nowhere near all Scots vote SNP.

SNP were the only pro-independence party. The Yes vote has translated into an SNP vote.

If you get 45% in a referendum you lose. If you get 45% in a constituency election you win.

[CropleyWasGod]

[hibby19]

looks like Scotland will, yet again, get the government it didn't vote for.

I understand what you are saying but if the Exit polls are correct and Scotland has almost wholly voted SNP, a party which cannot be the Government, then doesn't that mean we would get a Government we didn't vote for no matter who wins?

[JeMeSouviens]

If Lab try and spin the likely Tory gov as the SNP's fault they can well and truly GTF. We *can* count you know!

[lyonhibs]

Apart from the Greens. But your point still stands, assuming there is a 1:1 ratio of Yes voters to SNP voters.

For sure, the No vote 55% which was united in the referendum is now split 3 or 4 ways in a GE.

[Colr]

... apart from the Greens and the Socialists :greengrin

I take your moot point.

[JeMeSouviens]

UKIP fat ****er on stv now. :rolleyes: Lost deposit hopefully.

The same logic would also suggest that another referendum would still result in a NO to independence. Kind of in a Mexican standoff, are we not?

He said they were "pan class". Naw they're just "nae class" racists and sectarian bigots

[Moulin Yarns]

I understand what you are saying but if the Exit polls are correct and Scotland has almost wholly voted SNP, a party which cannot be the Government, then doesn't that mean we would get a Government we didn't vote for no matter who wins?

If Scotland votes more Labour and Conservative form government, we get a government we didn't vote for. Also, if Scotland votes Conservative (don't laugh) and Labour form the government, guess what?

[Moulin Yarns]

hearing 2 Alexanders and a Galloway have lost their seats

SNP clean sweap in Glasgow

[weecounty hibby]

If Lab try and spin the likely Tory gov as the SNP's fault they can well and truly GTF. We *can* count you know!

Already been said on TV by Alistair Campbell. It is in England where they look to have lost it.

[James.]

The rumour here in Central Ayrshire. SNP over 50% and Labour down to third behind the Tories!!


absolutely incredible if true!!

[hibsbollah]

Already been said on TV by Alistair Campbell. It is in England where they look to have lost it.

Not really, Labour have increased their projected number of seats in England! Its a combination of the SNP in Scotland and Lib Dems collapse that has caused it (assuming the exit poll is correct).

[ronaldo7]

Midlothian looking good for the SNP

[CropleyWasGod]

I find it hard to believe that Danny A can know that yet. Given the size of his constituency, it's unlikely that most of the votes will have even reached the count yet.

unconfirmed report Dan Alexander has conceded

Jeremy Vine showing all the English marginals Lab expected to fail in. That's the story here. Scotland rock solid for an anti-Tory bloc.

[degenerated]

Sounds like Murphy is in a bit of trouble as well now.

[weecounty hibby]

Sounds like Murphy is in a bit of trouble as well now.

Predictions of Glasgow seats all being taken by SNP. Murphy and Douglas Alexander losing is fantastic news if true

[ronaldo7]

This election is mind blowing, the 3 Fife seats going SNP

[Geo_1875]

Sounds like Murphy is in a bit of trouble as well now.

81% turnout. Absolutely amazing.

[lord bunberry]

Not really, Labour have increased their projected number of seats in England! Its a combination of the SNP in Scotland and Lib Dems collapse that has caused it (assuming the exit poll is correct).
They've not increased them by nearly as many as they wanted or needed though. If they'd held all their Scottish seats it still wouldn't have been enough. The polls could yet be wrong though.

[degenerated]

81% turnout. Absolutely amazing.
Wouldn't agree with dugdale too often, if ever, but she reckoned that >74% was not good for Labour and I reckon that's bang on the money.

Heard that dougie Alexander likely to lose his seat too 😅

[ronaldo7]

Sounds like Murphy is in a bit of trouble as well now.

Confirmed by Lib dems.:aok:

Motherwell and Wishaw...Snp confident.

[JeMeSouviens]

Stv saying Slimy is toast. Cheered me up anyway. :wink:

[Del Boy]

Loving this so far!!!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Felt sorry for the Labour MP from Glasgow that was on STV about 20 mins ago. Amazingly honest though.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Please please please Murphy and Douglas Alexander to be booted.

[weecounty hibby]

Felt sorry for the Labour MP from Glasgow that was on STV about 20 mins ago. Amazingly honest though.

Very funny too. When asked what he put the defeat down to he said "a lack of votes primarily". 😄

[ronaldo7]

If the exit polls are correct, can anyone tell me if any party has had as many seats in Scotland?

I seem to recall Labour having about 47 seats when we used to have 72 constituencies.

Anyone?

Lab had the "fighting 50" in 1987. Fat lot of ****** good they were too.

[BroxburnHibee]

If its true about Murphy losing then it's ironic to think that when he won the seat in 97 the SNP candidate was none other than Nicola Sturgeon :tee hee:

[ronaldo7]

The cities tonight who have cemented the yes vote are Dundee and Glasgow.

Let's hope Edinburgh does well. Looking good in 4 from 5 for the SNP

Aye:rolleyes:

Very close apparently. Obviously folk in that constituency aren't too fussed who represents them.

Apparently we've been taken in or duped according to Connarty.

2 SNP governments. The referendum and now this GE and yet it seems some Labour figures still don't get it.

[cabbageandribs1875]

He's not doing very well there is he. Dearie me.



the guy from lerwick is just as bad, he 'respects' the peoples rights....but the people are wrong

She is incredible. Its apparently the SNPs fault that labour have lost. No wonder people are leaving them in droves

[Hibernia&Alba]

So, a possible Tory majority in Westminster, devoid of any Scottish mandate. Cuts to come, EU referendum, SNP will see this as their best time to go again.

Everything to play for.

[marinello59]

A belter. The SNP have to take responsibility for Labour being unable to win votes in the south of England. Labour are getting what they deserve tonight.

Who is that annoying Labour woman on the BBC studio? She's another one that just doesn't get it. According to her it's the SNP's fault for Labour's demise.

It's absolutely pathetic. They couldn't convince people to vote for them and they want to blame everyone but themselves. It's unbelievable how far the Labour Party has fallen in the last 5 years.

[Pretty Boy]

Inverclyde goes to the SNP.

[blaikie]

Inverclyde!

Ronnie Cowan :thumbsup:

[Pete]

The "cannabis is safer than alcohol" party are getting more votes than the Lib Dems.

[PatHead]

Yet again the Scottish vote was not relevant to the outcome of the UK GE.

At least this time we will have Scottish MP's fighting for Scotland.

Labour lost because of Miliband, not the SNP!

Labour lost because they have lost their principles and took the electorate for granted expecting us to accept policies to suit SE England.

Labour have picked some roasters as leaders and they still can't see how they are losing.
Miliband, Lamont, Murphy? Jeez.

[BroxburnHibee]

I'm not surprised to see the tories winning down south. If they ignore the Scottish vote then a referendum will be back on the table sharpish.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Airdrie and Shotts

Saltcoats

[ACLeith]

First very special dram of the evening, could be feeling poorly in s few hours 😀

[steakbake]

Incredible stuff.

Atmosphere at the BBC newsdesk not unlike their colleagues at the sports department when Rangers are losing.

Jackie Bird is up to her craw with it.

[Pretty Boy]

SNP currently sitting on 53.7% of the popular vote in Scotland.

Amazing stuff.

[Del Boy]

Murphy gone!!! Yaaaasss!!!!!!!

Stayed up for that!

[snooky]

Jimbo has got egg on his face ... Oh wait a minute.

[SkintHibby]

Jim murhy stunned and in tears. Pleasing!!!!!

[cabbageandribs1875]

murphy says he knows what it's like to come from behind

[Pretty Boy]

Murphy really is in the wrong job for someone who's a pish public speaker.

Ridiculously insincere and stilted.

[xyz23jc]

Jim murhy stunned and in tears. Pleasing!!!!!

Very very pleasing indeed! Must be still shell-shocked from that riot and savage heckling in Glasgow! Worth stayin' up fer!

[marinello59]

Jim murhy stunned and in tears. Pleasing!!!!!

I don't think he is stunned. He knew when he took the job on he was up against it. He will have known for weeks now that his party was in for a real kicking and he was likely to lose his own seat.

[snooky]

First very special dram of the evening, could be feeling poorly in s few hours 😀
Ditto dram 😁

[Pretty Boy]

Turnouts averaging 70%+ in most constituencies as well so the SNP being given a real mandate.

[Pretty Boy]

Margaret Curran goes.

This could end up being a blessing in disguise for Labour in Scotland. A chance to shift the deadwood that has been coasting for years.

[ACLeith]

Curran - another loser another dram

[snooky]

Glasgow East

Curran out as well....very very pleasing

This is like shooting fish in a bucket

[Hibernia&Alba]

[Pete]

I hope the Lib Dems have a bit put by to cover all these lost deposits.

Their leader did say that they would be the surprise of this election.

I'd now be surprised if they get ten seats.



Time for someone to eat their hat.
