Scotland used to be massively in favor of labour, but SNP took all those votes, which is why no-one expects labour to get close to the tories.

They were the main party as a unionist of the left but they got wiped out in 2015 but seem to be coming back a little

Farage seems to have a field day.

First Tory seat pickup of the night this late in the game.
May only gets a majority if conservatives do well in Scotland, land of remain.
|
SNP now also lost one to labour, guardian livestream is quoting some journalist saying that tory ministers aren't hopeful that they exceed the exit poll any more. I so wish this to be true.

May only gets a majority if conservatives do well in Scotland, land of remain. I mean right now they're doing extremely well. the SNP is basically dead and there's still about 5-6 potential seats for CON to grab from the SNP. Southport just went to Conservatives over from the Lib Dems.

SNP lost its leader in the commons this could be another election that culls party leaders possible May, Farron, Sturgeon and Nuttel could all go

SNP won't be dead but severely weakened 30 seats In Scotland is still a lot for any party

Every time the press talks to a senior tory it looks like a job interview for PM lol

Maybe SNP tend to be very loyal to the leader but it will be a big blow for her

SNP won't be dead but severely weakened 30 seats In Scotland is still a lot for any party It'll pretty much be dead and the future outlook is bleak. People want to go back to a 2 party system and the death of the SNP is just a byproduct of that.
May is going to get ousted after this.
DUP just gained a seat from the UUP so there's the backup plan in case of the conservatives don't get the majority.

Yeah may is definitely toast I expect 2nd election soon after Tory leadership election

Nick Clegg gone very sad really he did the right thing for the country at a tough time didn't deserve this
|
May didn't really exude confidence in her speech there.

notably only spoke of the party, not herself. Is this the rise of Boris

Amber Rudd has apparently survived so she will be a contender, maybe Gove and sure to be others
