    Absolute and total rejection of ScotLab. 30 per cent swings???? Thrasher thinks wipeout possible. Labour cannot recover from this, ever. Or for several generations, anyway. Maybe LibDem cannot, either. My word.

    These swings are even bigger than by-election comedy swings.

    FPT:

    Anecdote alert, my Mum (from the Rhondda) voted Tory for the first time in her life at 78. Reason being that she didn't like the idea of a Labour/SNP coalition.

    Given that she STILL refers to the blessed Margaret as 'Thatcher the Snatcher', you may colour me surprised. Of course, she lives in an unimportant seat, but I'd hazard a guess she's not alone.
  • MontyMonty Posts: 346
    I hope Labour see sense after this result and adopt PR.
    It may be the only way to preserve the Union.

    One thing that the SNP will have to deal with is the fact that a good number of these candidates were selected with very little expectation of actually winning. There are going to be some very 'interesting' new people who never expected to be MPs...

    Turnouts are all over 75% or so.

    As long as the SNP is strong in Scotland the Tories will be in power just to keep them out.
    Until either Labour promises English Devolution or UKIP replace Labour (because the SNP hates UKIP).

    Labour's best so far has been 5.5% hasn't it?

    Seeing as in E&W there is little to no swing it should update to a majority of 6 or so.
