I live in East Lothian in Scotland and have voted for labour as they are the closest challengers to the SNP. All us against INDYREF 2 have voted tactically to challenge the SNP.

The conservatives have actively canvassed on the Indy Ref issue and will gain more SNP seats than labour but labour will take some.

The results so far are very confusing

In 3 of the 4 announced in the North East, the collapsing UKIP vote has gone mainly to Tories. The other 1 in the NE plus Swindon to Labour.

No pattern at all.

Well if there is I'm ****ed if I can see it <laugh>

It's not about EU, so disenfranchised moved to the anti-christ?

Specsavers?
 
Whatever happens, I think the tabloids' grip on political discourse in this country is slipping. Less than 25% of under-65s read tabloids these days, either print or online. Apparently Murdoch threw a paddy at The Times Election Party when the exit polls were released and stormed off. <laugh>

This is the latest strapline to kep us enthused.

It was a crazy, illogical campaign by all (for me) and what will unravel is the beginning or (temporary) end of the youth rebellion.

But in five years they will see things differently.

This is more or less what I said earlier. A rejection of the disgusting media of this country, for too long the Tories (and Blair) cosied up to Murdoch.

Labour are like Ajax - young and growing.

As you have consistently posted you are never wrong this is a good test for you. Current Parliament Cons. 330 Lab. 232.

Is it worth a bet of a couple of florins?

Recount in Hastings.

I have 5 English on Labour at 6-1.

Not bothered about the cash, just want to scalp that awful woman Rudd.

Around here that was a given; but UKIP was key when it mattered.

"martyred" is the ultra-posh way of pronouncing "mattered" - so I'm told. I've always rebelled against my aristocratic barkgrawnd however.

Uneducated nonsense, but hardly surprising from you.

The GreyPound doesn't need to buy papers, they're free to read where they spend their leisure time. Those younger do the same in pubs - it only takes 3mins.

Statistics are bollocks, quoting is, too.

Fewer people are reading tabloids. It's a declining trend.
