Seeing Labour vote Tory and vice versa with an addition of LibDem in that mix as well is just crippling. No victory for policy or democracy. 

You could say the same about the Labour voters that have been lost to the SNP historically.  
 

If the game is purely about stopping an SNP or Indy majority then this is really no way for our country to continue. 

At this rate the next national election should just be a "plebiscite" indyref proxy. If it's all going to boil down to indy v unionist with massive tactical voting on FPTP, resulting in 'random' variations per constituency idiosyncrasies, the more it may as well be a straight fight, the less the risk of SNP standing on a pure indy mandate ticket. Turn GE 2024 into indyref 2, if it hasn't happened by then?

Shetland vote didn’t make the bbc coverage but SNP cut majority from 4000 to 800 is pretty decent going. 

The BBC seem very desperate to tell when the swing goes against the snp

Radio Scotland couldn't help themselves pointing out the guy in Dundee who was sacked for being rubbish

That he is a moron. 

Was listening to Tay FM on the school run saying Willie Rennie was waiting on his result and he'd run a fun campaign including massive deckchairs, playing giant chess and even flying a micro-glider.  Wonder if he had a bet with Jo Swinson that he could get re-elected just fucking about so long as he didn't mention Brexit and cock carrying women.

Rumour of Tory requested re-count for Ayr so may be heading to SNP. 
 

Another one where it’d probably balance out with lost list vote. 

It kind of depends exactly how the votes exactly pan out on the list.   As it stands, picking up East Lothian, they're pretty likely to lose a list seat, however should they pick up Ayr as well then its a toss up whether or not they lose one or not.

It doesn't always fall 1-1.
