Exit Poll

[IGRIGI]

Curtis raises a good point that SNP support is swinging away from the traditional North East areas to the central belt.

[cabbageandribs1875]

SNP 33 seats........ram yer 32 Exit poll guys :na na:

quite comical actually, labour voters were advised to vote SNP to get a Labour win in westminster, Dugdale asked labour voters to vote tory :hilarious

Dugdale didn't ask Labour voters to vote Tory, it's a bit of mischievous spinning of what she actually said. It doesn't matter though, it looks like most Labour voters didn't vote tactically, they voted for Labour.
The SNPs losses to the Tories tonight are entirely due to their own failings.

That was another traditional Tory seat until Alex Salmond won it. Another one where SNP voters have returned to their former party of choice. Sturgeon has to put up her hands for the results up there.

SCOTTISH Labour Party leader Kezia Dugdale faced a stinging backlash after encouraging people north of the border to vote Conservative to keep Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP out.Ms Dugdale told voters in the Borders, Highlands and other parts of Scotland that voting Tory was a better way to stop the Scottish National Party than voting for her own party’s candidates.

[Pete]

Anna Soubry, pro-European. Says May needs to resign.

She looked like she was losing it.

Labour take a Brighton seat from the tories. Yas!

She's off!

[pacoluna]

If this was 2015 results SNP would be happy I'm guessing.

Read the article. She didn't tell anybody to vote Tory. As it turns out Labour voters didn't do that anyway.
The SNP are to blame for people voting Tory instead of for them, nobody else.

[cabbageandribs1875]

ah well, a sneaky wee £40 in my wallet, only wish i managed to get it on for the brief spell corbyn was in front...damn you bet365




now GTF May, enjoy yer break

I doubt they would be happy at losing their North East seats. But overall, yes.

Because they've got that big ****ing glowing face that says I was born with a silver spoon.

She actually said that there were some Scottish seats in which the Tories were the strongest challengers to the incumbent SNP. It's hardly telling folk to vote for them.

[pacoluna]

I doubt they would be happy at losing their North East seats. But overall, yes.

These results just confirm what we already know regarding the constitutional debate.

[Pete]

Chukka giving Jeremy Corbyn a glowing endorsement and talking about true Labour values. It's almost as if he's got the golden straw out.

Changed days.

She sounds angry.

One of the Blairite ***** who has done everything possible to destroy Corbyn. No shame at all. He was hoping for a Labour disaster so he could run for leader.

She'll improve the NHS though. Apparently.

Great spinning but the fact is not a great night for the SNP but still won the most seats in Scotland

[marinello59]

SNP or LibDem

[pacoluna]

Great spinning but the fact is not a great night for the SNP but still won the most seats in Scotland

And that was against tactical voting.

[cabbageandribs1875]

3rd recount for north east fife, after the 2nd one just finished had one vote in it...in favour of the fence-sitters the lib dems, another hour of counting

[Beefster]

And that was against tactical voting.

That's a coping mechanism imho.

How did you do your analysis? Wouldn't the lack of Green candidates have helped out?

As a layman, the SNP vote is down 14% whilst both the Tories and Labour are up. Doesn't smell like it was purely down to tactical voting.

These people are embarrassingly evasive and need to have a think about why this election has gone so unexpectedly well for Labour.

[Beefster]

The real exit poll is looking pretty much spot on. Prof Curtice will be pretty pleased with himself today.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Dumfries & Galloway Tory gain

[500miles]

Delighted that Corbyn has done so well. Not going to hide a bad night for SNP, or the anger that we've let Tories in through the back door when guys like Kezia Dugdale and Ian Murray and other quarters of Scottish Labour were so quick to put the knife in.

I'll take that as a result though. With some similar policies, Labour success was always going to come with an SNP cost. It's a shame that some good MPs were lost though.

[Beefster]

Another election by the end of the year? Either option of government now is going to be chaotic, hamstrung and pretty ineffectual.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Thirteen Scottish Tory MPs. A sorry sight.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Safest seat I've seen is Liverpool Riverside, where Labour won 84.5% of the vote. Now that's a safe seat.

In fact in the four Liverpool seats, Labour won at least 79% of the vote in each!

[Pete]

Thirteen Scottish Tory MPs. A sorry sight.

Or it's more likely a well organised kickback against the 2014/2105 rise in Nationslism.

At the risk of repeating myself, if the wee fat Tory kick-boxer had been involved with the Scottish Labour Party I'm sure we'd be looking at a slightly different picture.

Political movements need momentum and personality...Labour in Scotland has had none of that and we're paying the price.

[danhibees1875]

From his starting point of being stabbed in the back by his backbench and the front by the media, Corbyn has done extremely well to deny the conservatives a majority. Although the DUP might take the shine off that a little.

As for Scotland, the result looks a lot more proportional this time round, which is fair. 56/59 seats for a party supported by c.49% wasn't representative. Although I'm disappointed for that comment to hold true given that the tories have so little positive to offer.

[Hibernia&Alba]

North East Fife SNP hold by TWO votes from Lib Dems!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Final tally in Scotland

SNP 35 (-21)
Conservative 13 (+12)
Labour 7 (+6)
Lib Dem 4 (+3)

[marinello59]

And that was against tactical voting.
Is it really so hard to accept that the SNP themselves opened the door to the Tories? Look at the North East. Sturgeon blundered by writing off those members of her own party who actually supported Brexit and/or were sympathetic to Tory values.

[Moulin Yarns]

Tories looking good in Perth and Perthshire North
Tartan Tories reverting to type:wink:


:na na:

[Pretty Boy]

The analysis over the coming days is likely to be very interesting.

I'm not surprised at all to see the borders and parts of the NE and east coast vote Tory. I don't even think it's a stretch to suggest there was a straight switch from SNP to Tory. If you look at election results from 79, 83 and 87 a lot of these constituencies (or their historical equivalent) would have been blue. The SNP have been given a harsh lesson in just how hard it is going to be to keep the varied groups who make up their vote happy. For every voter they gain on the back of Brexit and the 2014 referendum it looks like their may be one of the 'anyone but Labour' ex Tories who made up a chunk of thr SNP vote for years ready to reconsider their position.

Scottish Labour have a decision to make. The SNP have again outperformed them on home ground in big chunks of the central belt. Corbyn has undoubtedly struck a chord with many but thr weakness of the leadership of the SLP has, imo, negated some of that. Another election is probably not too far off and a rethink on campaigning strategy would be a wise idea imo.

The Scotiish Tories would have been delighted this morning had it not been for the disaster in England. They may feel the toxicity of the brand has been removed in areas they performed well traditionally and may argue they have regained historically traditional voters.

I just hope there is some resttaint shown in the coming days. The UK is literally days away from the beginning of some of the most crucial negotiations in any of our lifetimes and it's important the Tories are challenged every step of the way in a united way for the common good. They can't be allowed to force a hard Brexit for ideological reasons. The SNP, Labour and Lib Dems have a very strong voice if they focus on what they have in common rather than what divides them.

[Sir David Gray]

Absolutely delighted with the Scottish results.

[Pete]

In what way?

If you're a nasty bugger with a large portfolio then I'm sure you're already congratulating wee tubby Ruth personally :-)

[JeMeSouviens]

Great to see May humiliated but hard to see how anything but a dup backed Tory gov will emerge from this.

Disaster in Scotland, no other word for it. We are well and truly ****ed in Brexit Britain now.

[Pretty Boy]

I wonder if last nights results could be interpreted as the Tories 'SNP moment' from the last election? A defeated sizeable minority (Scottish leave voters to 2014 Yes voters) block voting as a way of having their voices heard?

[PeeJay]

Bad day for the UK in general - the politicians on the one hand and the electorate on the other just seem to stumble from one ill-considered decision to another ... apparently, someone from May's team has "twitted" that she will not resign :crazy:

[Mon Dieu4]

Looking at the stats it certainly seems that about 70% of the lost SNP vote went to the tories and 30% to Labour

I'd hope in another election soon that people would see that the win is definitely on for Labour having started from having no chance, it's an amazing turnaround, I'd certainly lend them my vote for this one

[stoneyburn hibs]

Just digested what's happened last night, gutted. Thirteen Tories wtf.

[guthrie01]

Theresa May apparently staying on as PM after last nights results...

Clueless, selfish cow. Going to drag our country down with her, have to hope that it will only increase Corbyn's growing popularity.

[Pretty Boy]

It's ridiculous. Calls an election to give her added authority, ends up with significantly less authority but won't do the decent thing.

We'll be back at the polls within a year.

[TheReg!]

Absolutely delighted with the Scottish results.

Me too mate 😊

She leads the UK to disarray during its greatest ever peacetime crisis but Theresa May says she'll stay on. There surely can't be a single person in the country, let alone her party, that agrees with her?

By the SNPs rationale, theresa may won the election 😁

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Me too mate 😊

I think having a spread of parties is a good thing- also, it shpuld scotch the myth that certain parties cannot win certain seats, and hopefully stop all parties from taking their seats for granted and being full of themselves.

Personally i like coalitions and minority govt, makes for more sensible govt imo so in that sense its a good result, regardless of which of the big two forms a govt (although i dont think lab can, numbers dont really add up)

Looks like an informal coalition, probably a deal by deal basis and no hard brexit, probably the best result that could have been hoped for.

Well you can't please everyone. I have never heard him support zero hour contracts but i liked his views on brexit. Climate change is not a subject i know much about, there are lots of contradicting opinions and i thought same sex marriage was allowed in this country?

[mjhibby]

This was the social media vote. I'd love to think that all the disgusting right wing papers are finished deciding elections and that policies will decide. Also it's the older generation who are propping up the tories and as the years go by the young vote will be hugely influential if they come out and vote. May will stay on as another leadership election would be a disaster for brexit. In many ways it's the perfect result where we have a lame duck pm and party who will be a shambles through tory back bench pressure. Jeremy corbyn must be thinking all his Xmass have arrived at once.
