Oh yeah I know, well some of them might have been assigned to Labour already depending on how they weight things

Sturgeon is always saying that about Britain and the EU.

Isn't that exactly what we're doing with the EU and Brexit?

Because nationalists only want separation regardless of the economic impact. Like Brexiteers...

Surprised at the margin of victory to be honest. Know it's only an exit poll but won't be that far out.

Fear it's going to be a very difficult few years for a lot of people. Anyone who thinks Johnson is going to stand up to the EU, Trump, Putin etc must be mad, he ran and hid in a fridge to avoid answering questions so there's no chance of him standing up to anyone else.

Think you're doing the right thing. Got a couple of mates who've made the move and they've said their quality of life has improved dramatically. Would have done it myself if I didn't need to stick around to care for my parents.

I bet a lot more people would’ve moved if corbyn had got in ! I’m holding my tongue until the actual results are out (I still feel the exit poll might be a fair bit out and majority will be a lot smaller) but whilst a few on here would accept corbyn as leader just to get labour in, I don’t know anyone, including many labour supporters, who wanted him anywhere near power.

The country isn’t hard left or hard right (let alone bringing the other corbyn/McDonnell issues into the equation) Most people are pretty much down the middle, leaning slightly one way or the other. I’m hoping labour get some decent people in at the top and get momentum back in their box so they can be a genuine choice for a larger proportion of the public, including myself.

Anyway let’s see the final results first (Massive night for SNP based on exit polls)

No, it's more than just Brexit, it's about Westminster's control and disconnection to the will of the Scottish people, and the need to control their own destiny.

I'm moving house shortly and the place I'm moving to currently a Labour seat with a popular local MP, it's apparently too close to call and 66% chance of being Tory. I've seen so many Labour signs etc around there so the Shy Tory effect must be massive.

Same here although my dad is a fervent fenian so I inherently side with the Micks.

She had a 17000 odd majority last time. She’d do well to lose that many votes.

I'm not Scottish? Just lived there long enough to see there is a massive disconnect between them and Westminster, more so than in a long time.

I can't wait for the likes of Dom's meltdown when Johnson has the power and starts to deviate away from his current position on Brexit - ha ha!

I never said I would get a vote next time, just that if I could vote for it I would. I lived there for nearly 10 years and the indyref fell right in the middle of that. You had to be resident there, not Scottish by birth

It is because of right wing Westminster governments imposing things that go against Scottish policy preferences. Brexit is the icing on the cake in this respect.

The polls said Labour would be a lot closer than the Exit Poll is suggesting for a start. The silent majority would be the ones that didn't vote in the last referendum.

YouGov's MRP was a lot closer to the truth.
