Very strange seeing these labour relative-heavyweights congratulating unknown successful SNP candidates
Agreed.

I'm gonna go to bed, lack of sleep is obviously taking it's toll. Just talking out of my arse, still unhappy with the result for my consistency.
Yeh, you really should be more consistent.

Will Big Dave take the big one from the SNP to do a deal?

Every Scottish seat so far has declared for the SNP, woot.

So in the biggest LAbour targets, Tories have improved... anyone see the problem?
Biggest targets, Labour have Miliband spend more time there.... and there is your problem.
seriously, Labour's biggest targets they should have kept Miliband as far away from as possible. The biggest issue with politics is a ridiculous portion of voters vote on party lines for life, regardless of leaders, regardless of the policies they spout and regardless of what the party actually does. So many Labour voters will only ever vote labour, and same for other parties. There are daft people who vote for whoever promises something different regardless of how much BS they are spouting(BNP, UKIP) and then some informed voters who actually pay attention to the leaders and policies. With a real leader you can hope to gain some of those, with Miliband, seriously, put a borderline moron in charge of the party and get the result precisely as expected.
Always Labour voters still voting labour, those who Miliband being the leader would actually effect their vote... aren't voting for Labour IMHO.
Hopefully he'll be gone within a few days, the idea of him being in power terrifies me, everything that is wrong with politics, promise everyone everything they want and give away effectively all your decision making power to those who would vote you in and anyone can get into power.

Results aren't back from a lot of LD strong areas yet mind, though they really aren't doing well - even taking into account they wouldn't do that well anyhow within the scope of a lot of the results so far they've crashed out beyond even that expectation.
