    The Labour Party is the symbol of Schizophrenia. Half of their members are closet conservatives (see: John Mann; Simon Danzuck; Liz Kendall et al) and half on their members are social democrats or socialists (see: Corbyn, Livingstone, Skinner, Abbott, Neil Findlay in Scotland)

    I don't think they are the "Liebour" party because they still have parliamentarians/activists who are far more socially and economically left than the SNP, Liberals. They are a mixed up party and the best resolution is a split in my view. Referring to them as "Liebour" suggests that they are all liars, collectively.

    I don't feel that's the case. Point being, if I lived in Neil Findlay's constituency, I would vote for him easily ahead of the SNP or Green candidate. Each Labour member should be taken on their own merit in my opinion.

    Jesus, basically ever one of the 4,000+ increase in turnout voted for Lib Dem. Massive majority basically when he only had a couple of hundred last time.

    That result is interesting. Liebour down 11% with the SNP up by 7% and the Tories up by 4%.

    That reflects what I feel is going on in Scotland just now. Liebour are bleeding votes with most of them going to the SNP but some of them pro-Union voters transferring over to the Tories.

    Feel weirdly disappointed i didnt make more of an effort.

    Important to note about the Orkney result, last time around there was a popular independent candidate who cut the Liberal majority considerably.

    Larkhall = Zombieland
    A bite from a tory zombie = more tory zombies

    Explains the growth.
