Looks like Conservatives outperformed their polls in the East Midlands. I had 3/2/1, but it's ended up 2/2/1 UKIP/Con/Lab.

Salmond just saying something that thousands of other people have said but the BBC hasn't covered...

It says something that UKIP are a distant fourth in Scotland with four times the coverage on the biggest television stations than the party of the Scottish government in Scotland...

Since the greens gaining a seat are now near nill. What percent of the vote must the SNP have to get a third seat?

Short version was pretty much he didn't want to spend the next few months arguing about the difference between "Good Romanians and Bad Romanians" as opposed to independence from Britain, how UKIP were getting four time the coverage as the SNP in Scotland and then when right at the end Dimbelby said "You should have a word with BBC Glasgow about it.", Salmond just replied "They don't have a say in the matter, that's what the problem is."

If that's the case then they would need 31.05% of the vote. They currently have 29.08%. It's close but I'm not optimistic :smith:

Yeah, if Labour win Glasgow, then it could up the voting total to enough that UKIP's shrinks in comparison, ideally enough for SNP to close the gap more.
fe; Even if SNP don't prevent UKIP from taking a seat, they seem to have maintained their percentage, which is a "good enough" kind of result.

So if the lib dems lose all their MEPs will that cause a revolt do you think? Against Nick or the coalition?

Sadly I think they're still stuck together with both for the whole ride.
