Fans posted:Pretty much every result in the Guardian is being put in terms of if it was down to the Jews hating Corbyn or the Jews hating cuts more than Corbyn. It's a bit weird. The BBC have mentioned it as well. Maybe the Jews really do control everything??? Also it seems like the Labour story of the election is going to be: Not done as bad as all the doom and gloom in England or Wales but still completely hosed by the SNP in Scotland.

Lib Dems have gained NE Fife from the SNP on a 10% swing. Even I wasn't expecting that. TinTower fucked around with this message at 03:33 on May 6, 2016 |

i mean, a massive bleed of left-leaning votes to the greens along with a collapse of the lib dem vote going straight to the tories seems to have happened, but good grief

I like to remind everyone that AMS is still a poo poo voting system. Still FPTP with a closed party list. Also SNP got greedy instead of being up for the idea of a Yes Alliance and as a result backfired massively.

There are serious rumblings that the SNP might just miss out on a majority if the Tories continue to do well. They can only get 61 constituency seats with the results now and it's unlikely they'll pick up any on the list given the constituency sweeps. Meanwhile, Patrick Harvie has beaten Labour into third in Glasgow Kelvin (SNP hold). TinTower fucked around with this message at 04:53 on May 6, 2016 |

Sturgeon easily re-elected, presumably making Harvie and Kezia the only party leaders representing list seats. Cardiff North and Central are very close; North is a Tory target, Central is a LD target that was on a knife edge five years ago. Plaid might have gained Rhondda from Labour, where Leanne was standing.

SNP with another outright majority will continue to harp on about a 2nd indie ref. Mind you, that may well be why their percentages are down in some areas in the first place. Labour sure got humped though. Imagine going back 30 years and trying to persuade someone that Labour would lose almost all their support in Scotland. And losing their places to Tories, it's like topsy turvy world.

Leanne Wood wins in Rhondda. 24% swing.

SNP constituency seat range 54–59. They need 65 for a majority.

The SNP should pick up a few in the South, Lothians and Mid Scotland and Fife lists. I'm pretty confident we will have a majority when all's said and done.

Are the Greens the only other party that would consider supporting an SNP government?

The Lib-Dems might. They were all set to go into coalition with the SNP back in 2007 until (surprise surprise) the issue of an independence referendum put the brakes on it.

"This is not a route to power in 2020" is evidently the line the PLP want to use to bash Corbyn and co. I mean the results were not spectacular but if you take the basket case that is Scottish Labour out of the picture they have done pretty well it would appear.

But don't you realise that if you're having your first election in opposition with a new leader you should always win seats. Jeremy Corbyn has bucked the trend! No I have no problem positing a historical law on the basis of three examples, Corbyn is the worst leader ever.

It's looking like a 3 point improvement on last year with the Tories dropping by the same amount. Not fantastic but not really enough ammo for them to be able to actually pull of a coup unless Goldsmith pulls off the surprise victory.

John Mann has made what is probably his least critical ever set of comments about Corbyn so looks like any coup is off the table: John Mann posted:Let me say that this speculation about a challenge to Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, it was my view a month ago and a day ago that shouldn’t be one. It’s my view today that there shouldn’t be one. What we need is him to get on top of the big issues and start broadening our appeal.

Gower, Llanelli and Vale of Clwyd all held is a relief. Losing Rhondda was a shock until I realised Leanne Wood was standing there and heck, she's probably one of the more popular politicians in the whole of the UK right now, let alone Rhondda. Swansea East improved its turnout! ... from 31% to 35% . Oh well, we might not come last this year. e: Labour clean sweep in South Wales West again, yaaay. e2: Cardiff Central hold, possibly unsurprising given Labour's opponent there was the Lib Dems.
