Interesting that while the SNP has received 8% of the UK vote and got 56 seats, UKIP has received 12% but so far only has 1 seat.

80% turnout in Thanet. Seems like people want to make damned sure he does or doesn't get in!

Ironically, the Tories lost no seats in Scotland. Their vote has held up very well north of the border.

That result 20 minutes ago whatever it was had the SNP winning, but only by a few hundred votes from the Tories. So clearly it's not true that the Tories have no support north of the wall.

One facebook friend expressing relief, one (works for NHS) despair, and one (North of the border) wondering who the **** still votes Tory. I'm keeping out of it.
