BBC not even mentioning it

solid 5th place tbqfh

davey carked it

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.

Mike O’Brien, the former Labour minister, has failed to take North Warwickshire back from the Conservatives. The Tories’ majority in 2010 was just 54, and this was Labour’s top target

Basildon 92. Time for bed. Up for work in three hours. What a load of shite.

i somehow ended up on new questions and thought ilx had broken, i can't be having that i need u right now

Jim Murphy!

Fucking hell!

TOXIC

Fucking arsehole that man

i should go to bed now and pretend that jim murphy is the story of the election

Curran out too

UKIP scoring treble the vote of the Greens in Glasgow East

I think all the Greens I know are voting SNP for this, but will vote Green at Holyrood.

sturgeon can hear every word he's saying

that "wave your hands you have the power" nonsense is exactly why Scotland loathes the BBC and its attitude

39% swing in Glasgow NE looks like the record

And that's Willie Bain gone - game over for Scottish Labour.

It'll be a massive adjustment for the Parliamentary Labour Party to be Scot-free.

Orkney and Shetland stop the clean sweep.

24% swing not enough to win wtf

they still don't know about the coalition amirite

mixed feelings cuz tories are winning but amazing to see scots lab dinosaurs losing. So pleased jimmy hood is gone.
Amazing night in Scotland.
Labour whining SNP mps put tories in but even if Labour won all 59 they would still lose. So if they continue with that tack then they wont win back Scotland.

re murphys speech
Jim Murphy is not gonna make Scots labour a socialist party. He's wrong that "Scotland needs a strong Labour Party" Scotland needs a Socialist Labour Party.
He is not a socialist; he cannot deliver it. Dont think any of them can.

labour revival on! Edinburgh South held.
