Scottish Parliament Elections 2016

[-:Undertaker:-]

Tomorrow the vote takes place with the previous results for 2011 above.

The big focus is on whether the Conservatives can - amazingly - knock Labour into third place. Unthinkable a few years ago.

Thoughts?

never got ANY conservative leaflets through my door and always wondered through the years why we don't? does this happen in the rest of the U.K. Or do they just forget about us? anyway ive only got until 11am ish to vote so hopefully won't be too busy tomorrow.

i don't get any really either but i live in the strongest labour seat in Britain now

usually it's only swing seats where parties will spend any real money on

I'd really like for the SNP to not have a majority (against majorities, not SNP in particular). Though, I can just feel the cries for another referendum if they do get another.

SNP will get a majority

Huge if true. I'm reading on Twitter there are rumours/indications that Labour have been wiped out in all the Glasgow constituencies.

Hearing rumours that Labour have lost all seats in Glasgow and that Labour in Scotland has been further decimated across the board...

Worth bearing in mind a few years ago Glasgow was Labour's strongest area in the country with Liverpool second.

Not really huge, SNP is going to wipe out everyone.

If you look at the history of Glasgow (historically strongest Labour area in entire country) & the huge swing it would have seemed unthinkable only a couple of years ago. It does give me hope though living in a solid Labour area: people always say things will never change but the Labour collapse in Scotland is proving it can be done. I don't think there should be any such thing as a safe seat for any party, it just breeds cronyism and taking voters for granted.

Early indications from Glasgow and Fife suggest that Labour will be beaten into third place in Scotland tonight.

Imagine someone declaring back in 2013 that the Tories could or even would come ahead of Labour in Scotland. Early results but stunning if true.

What a result! Never did I expect to see a revival for the Conservatives in Scotland anytime soon.
