Who is going to be the Scottish spokesperson for Labour at Westminster?

Jack Dromey (Mr Harriet Harman) back in with a 5k+ majority.

Well Clegg hangs on at least. The question is, how many fellow Limp Dumb MPs will he lead?

The Scottish Tory has held on, the irony!

Esther McVey gone

Soubry increases majority. Good result for the Tories.

Charles Kennedy out too.

And the rout continues. Danny Alexander gone as well.

Galloway out.

Yup, not much point is doing more than wait for the exit poll these days. Tories might even have a majority, but they would be wise to heed their leaders words.

Not sure though this is a victory more a result.. Millions of people underrepresented, country split as never before, no party doing more than dominate one country of what is close to the former union.

Anyway, the Tories can govern, though five years is a long time with the kind of numbers they have unless they're consensual - this government will have a much smaller majority than the last.

And the LDs? Paid the price vote thinking their voters voted for them to put the Conservatives in power.

Ukip? Welcome to the realities of our electorial system.

Douglas Alexander losing to a 20 year old,  overturning a 10,000 majority beggars belief.

That is a pity. 

It shows what can happen - a lesson to ALL political parties.

Anyway, will the tories be harried by their right like Major was after 1992? Probably.

Yes I think that is likely.

There will be hardly any LibDems there, what will happen to Labour, will bitter infighting kick off? Can SNP and Labour work together in parliament or will there be bitterness between them?

This new govt wont have much of a majority. I hope those who oppose don't loose sight of that.

It will also be govt of the UK by the Conservative part (I don't think they will win a majority of the vote) of England - not for the first time and what has caused the rift.

Impressive results and probably the biggest surprise of the last few decades.

I haven't seen the numbers yet, but I think a lot was down to the tactical voting patterns. Many UKIP voters in Con/Lab marginal seats probably switched to the Cons at the last minute, while Labour voters in Lib/Con seats didn't vote for the lib dems (to take revenge blah blah) and perhaps even at Con/UKIP marginals Labour voters didn't vote UKIP or event went Tory.

It just shows that people on the right are smarter and more disciplined and know how to play the system (look at Clegg keeping his seat due to tactical voting from Tory voters), while people on the left are a bit dumb & naive.

The Left in this country is now essentially split 3 ways (Lab, LDs and SNP), while the Right didn't split much at all after all. It just serves Labour right for not reforming the electoral system during their 13 years of dominating the government.

I also feel sorry for the Lib Dems as they didn't deserve it and they probably would have played a good role again in government, while now Cameron may now be hostage to the right of his party. In the next 5 years I bet Cameron will be looking back with nostalgia at the days of coalition with the lib dems.

Incredible result for the Tories. There is a big difference with 1992. They went into that election with a majority of about 100 and lost a lot of seats. This time the opposite has occurred. It is almost unprecedented. What's even more incredible is I know a number of people (like myself) who will be better off under the Tories but thought the campaign was so wretched they didn't support them.

But a majority (possibly) nonetheless. Get over it.

In the meantime, Dave needs to reach out to the Scots. I think we will have to re-write how the various nations of the UK deal with one another.

Jesus, you're even sour in victory - get over that Pal.

My views have been defeated, isn't that enough??? Can't you rest it a bit at this time of triumph??? I'm glad I've got to go to work
