Any info on Edin South ?

[Gavster]

No, but Ed Balls' odds have drifted and the Tories have shortened. Praise the lord!!! I hope this indicates he's a gonna!

Exit poll suggests Labour have done ok in Scotland - maybe even gained 1% or so(which would be a gain on an already high number.) Lib Dems perhaps not so well, or not as well as expected - but thats all just rumours at the moment.

I'd still think LD will take Ed South - if the Tories havent done that well then LD should do well and pick up a lot of their support, could be tight though. If they lose by one you have me to blame...I voted blue

Result expected around 4am, but delays likely.

Im off to bed, up at 6, hopefully to good news!

[Frodo]

Ed South is a Lab hold by a mere 316 votes.

[Beanie]

Gah, Lib Dem vote collapsed nationwide - their best campaign in years and they lose seats and share of the vote.

A cheap cover on Labour seems so obvious now....sorry chaps, still cant believe it lost!

I'll learn my lesson with this - Labour's vote in Scotland seems almost bulletproof(even Wales showed some sort of swing away). Fwiw they coasted Stirling and D+G.

I think over 50% of Scotland's working are employed in some way by the govt. & Cameron has his eyes on cutting funds to Scotland so this was clearly a vote to keep jobs etc....

I don't think it matters who gets in as there will be massive cuts anyway.

Perhaps all LD did was highlight the polarity of voting Labour or Tory....

[Beanie]

True betfly, for a number of reasons the Scottish lab vote is more stubborn than elsewhere.

Summed up by the girl I work beside...she'd been telling me all week about how she was looking forward to voting lib dem, including yesterday. Asked this morning who she voted for: 'Labour...well, I always do.'
