More Electoral Wrongness

[andrewducker]

SNP, Lib Dem and Conservatives all on similar shares of the vote (19.9%, 18.6%, 16.6%) - seat share: 10, 6, 1.

(In Scotland, of course)

I lived there for 16 years - It was a political irrelevance then and nothing has changed. I got sick of the constant whining that everything was someone elses fault (usually the English)

Well, without the 41 Labour seats in Scotland there'd be no chance of the Lib/Lab coalition at all, so it makes some different.

The whining gets to me too - Westminster should give them independence so that they don't have anyone to blame!

You don`t give young children sweets just because they want them - you know its bad for them. The same holds true for Scottish independence. The rest of the world is merging and they want to split off - idiots

As for a Lib/Lab coalition, together they have 315 seats which is still short of an absolute majority, meaning they need a third party - tartan tories perhaps?

Well, they want to be part of the EU - just not under the thumb of the English.

And from the rumours I've been hearing both SNP and Plaid Cymru will be up for a coalition, but that only brings them up to 324. Which is enough if Sinn Fein continue to not take their seats up (which seems likely). They might need the SDLP as well (presumably the DUP will side the with Tories).
