UK Politics Thread IX: Try turning the UK off and on again.

[San Lumen]

That is a huge red flag for LD. That's not a seat that should have even been close for them. SNP could very well get a majority.

On the other hand we held Orkney very comfortably; really not sure what to make of that, to be honest.

The Scottish results make zero sense. So far there have been significant swings in some seats but SNP hasn't lost any seats.

[Shrillland]

Labour hold Blackburn with Darwen

[Dresderstan]

Peterborough Council remains NOC.

[Shrillland]

And another Labour hold in St. Helens.

[Dresderstan]

SNP HOLD Airdrie & Shotts 3.1% swing SNP to Labour

[Dresderstan]

LD HOLD Fife North East, Willie Rennie Scottish LD leader will return to Holyrood.

[Shrillland]

SNP HOLD Airdrie & Shotts 3.1% swing SNP to Labour

A reverse of that is what we'll probably see next week with the swing going to the SNP.

[San Lumen]

Liberal Democrats hold North East Fife. Still no rhyme or reason to these results.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Lib Dems hold North East Fife with an 11.3% increase to their vote share. Mostly from conservative voters it seems who lost about 10% of their vote share.

Where's NCR when ya need him?

There's reason to that one, it's the leader's seat and he's pretty popular.

[Dresderstan]

SNP HOLD Paisley, tiny tiny swing of .2% to Labour.

SNP HOLD Glasgow Maryhill & Springburn 2.4% swing to the SNP

[San Lumen]

The Greens making gains is a great thing. Their leader Caroline Lucas seems like a great person. She's being interviewed on BBC.

[Shrillland]

Another SNP hold, Hamilton, Larkhill, and Stonehouse. 3.1% swing to Labour.

[The New California Republic]

Yay North East Fife Lib Dem!

[Shrillland]

And another SNP hold in Clackmannshire and Dunblane with a 1.4% swing to the Conservatives.

[The New California Republic]

Lib Dems hold North East Fife with an 11.3% increase to their vote share. Mostly from conservative voters it seems who lost about 10% of their vote share.

Yes very good result.

[Dresderstan]

SNP HOLD Linlithgow 1.4% swing to Labour

[San Lumen]

The five seat conservatives won on the Sandwell council are the first ever elected according to the BBC. Labor still has a huge majority.

[The New California Republic]

I must admit I was quite concerned because the SNP really went all-out with spamming leaflets and signage in NE Fife, and I was expecting a much closer result, didn't expect the SNP to lose votes.

[Shrillland]

Labour wins the Liverpool Mayoral Race in the second round.

[Ifreann]

Keir Starmer asked for concrete policy changes Labour will now make in response to these election results, tells the BBC that he will "change the things that need changing and that is the change that I will bring about."

The changes he will change are the changes that need change to be changed, changing the change to real change.

Change.

Cha.

Nge.
