Douglas Alexander...

This is Twigg again. 20 year-old student. SNP doesn't have 58 candidates up to the job, I don't think

Sheeit!

Another clown in a red rosette bites the dust

:D a 20 year-old student!!! :D :D

20 years old, should be hilarious up there.

This is nuts.

Love this lassie.

Paisley's a barrel of laughs at the best of times

We are getting Trident dear.

Me and Andra Neil can tell you all about it

34% swing in Dunbartonshire!

34% swing in Dunbartonshire

andrew neil is from paisley? that makes him like five times the tory cunt he already was

I suspect there's even bigger headfucks to come!

douglas shd have just been 'it's over. good luck scotland'

Falkirk...

Right, so no more Labour MPs in Scotland

these scottish results - are these real or am i that drunk?

Yeah, it's looking like Labour annhilated in Scotland and Lib Dems almost completely annihilated everywhere.

shitty 14% swing in Ochil

To a former Tory

35%!!

Did I just hear right that the lib dems got 80 votes in castle point?

Canvey Island, rather.

haha what

(Ignore me I've just had a massive vodka)

Right, Salmond, that's enough for me.

More spoiled ballot papers than votes for the Lib Dems.

The SNP have more swing than Sinatra!

80 lib dem votes in castlepoint - that's a 98% collapse from 2010!

Kirkcaldy has gone to SNP. (Brown's old seat)

does there to be a realignment of political parties on the centre-left and left particularly in england after tonight?

social liberals and social democrats that have supported liberal democrats and have destroyed by the orange bookers by clegg / laws / alexander
and labour have been blighted and infected by right of the party i.e progress blairites that failed to ignite both the traditional working class and educated/ informed left
meanwhile caroline lucas is said to have increased her vote / majority

SNP have shown what can happen with conviction and clarity of real social democracy

all points to more clarity and a bolder centre-left, it's time to reunite the centre-left.

There's no way Scottish Labour comes back from this by thinking they were too left, so I wonder if Labour can hold together after this xp

Is it possible the Tories might hold on to their one seat in Scotland? And so have more MPs in Scotland than Labour? Still more pandas though.

Anything's possible in Dumfries, but I really can't see it

4 cgi people died during that recalibration, and it still may not be enough.

While I wouldn't deny that the Lib Dems have lost a lot of support because of the orange-bookers and that Labour have been ruined by the right, I think this is fanciful. The reality is that Scotland is a special case, quite different to England, and the combination of UKIP and the Tories is much bigger than that of Labour + Greens (and who knows how to allocate the pitiful number of Lib Dems that remain?). Everything's fucked.
