Orraloon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 4000 Green votes in Edinburgh Central splits the Indy vote and lets in Ruth Davidson. This will probably be replicated on the regional vote. No chance of an overall majority. Tactical voting by the unionists seems to be working. Not for Labour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The share of the vote in the constituencies is almost identical to 2011 for SNP and Lib Dem but a huge swing from Labour to Ruth Davidson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Tories have sealed 2nd place, quite unbelievable. Ruth Davidson has somehow played a blinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) I don't understand why BBC are saying 55 so far to SNP but STV only have them on 53? But either way SNP are going to get more constituencies than last time. Down to the list now. They are probably going to need 5 to 10 seats from the list. I don't think they will get enough. Depends on how many gave their 2nd vote to somebody else. Not looking good for a majority. The "Both votes SNP" doesn't seem to have persuaded enough people? Time will tell. That Aberdeen Tory seat might just give SNP 2 list seat in North East Scotland. Edited May 6, 2016 by Orraloon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think they would do this well. I can't believe how badly Labour have collapsed. I didn't think it was possible for them to get any lower.

kumnio Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) 57 so far, should win Argyll & Bute, Midlothian South is dodgy, and Ettrick is a lost cause. Thats 58, only need 7 on the Regional List, I think thats dooable, should get 3 or 4 on South Scotland list alone.

A bloody fantastic result for Plaid Cymru and Leanne Wood in Rhondda too. Has that sectarian feckwit Michael McMahon been booted out to spend more time down at the chip shop ?

They are going to need over 40% in the regional list. Lets see how many defected to greens. Edited May 6, 2016 by Orraloon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 This is where giving green the 2nd vote would have made a difference in Glasgow. They could have taken 3-4 seats with the SNP vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iainmac1 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Can't see where the snp will get the seats needed from to get a majority. Looking like a minority but a majority with the Greens so perhaps a coalition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
