Bellow are a stream of comments on a historic night of SNP gains. Quite an event, yet so much has changed since with Brexit Vote, Cameron ( who?) Out, May in!, next General Election and hurtling towards some uncertain political status.
Sorry, I can’t help. Goodness knows what is going on ! These notes are cathartic though. Enjoy.
@Caithnesian: #bbcelections2015 If predict. correct, Labour have lost because they have lost share to Tories in England.
@Caithnesian: #bbcelections2015 If all predict. SNP seats were Labour, #milifandom still a country mile behind Tories. #LabourFail. End of. @ScotNational
@Caithnesian: @ScotNational #bbcelections2015 Labour in England have suffered from concerted right-wing press hysteria of Lab-SNP pact. Not nice is it?
@Caithnesian: @ScotNational #bbcelections2015 Early results see LibDems hemoraging votes to right (Tory/UKIP), not left (Lab/Green). V.bad news for Clegg
@Caithnesian: @ScotNational #bbcelections2015 If Clegg considers coalition again, he must recall its the ‘left’ LDs who have stayed with his party in Eng.
@Caithnesian: @ScotNational #bbcelections2015 Poor Clegg, the ‘right’ LDs seem to have drifted to right (Tory/UKIP) already in England.
@GrahamStewartTV: SNP confident and think they may have just edged Douglas Alexander out of Paisley South. Within 700 votes or so. #GE2015
