What was your election result?

[Dailystuck71]

Are you happy?

We've gone from SNP to Tory by a massive 10,000 votes. i voted Tory for the first time to out SNP. I have no interest in indyref2. I had to vote tactically and I think 10,000 others may have done the same.

SNP hold - but vastly reduced majority, due to Labour resurgence. Hopefully next time Labour will take it.

The Tories took more Scottish seats than Labour. In fact they got nearly double the amount.

Yes, and? In my seat there was only 2% of the vote share between SNP and Labour - less than 1000 votes.

Tory gain where I am. Beyond gutted.

Agree that the threat of another indyref was damaging as a lot of people don't want to go through that again. Although as a PP suggested, just vote no!

Most upset Angus Robertson has been ousted.

Hate Ruth Davidson.

Back to Labour from SNP. By about 800 votes. Discussion among friends this morning that the proliferation of Tory seats in the north was due to the SNP only being interested in the Central Belt.

the people saying just vote no are missing the point that Ruth Davidson has consistently opposed a lot of what the SNP aren't doing or are getting wrong - education is another good example. You can't dismiss every conservative vote as a union protest vote.

The other thing is, Sturgeon declared a referendum would be held in the lifetime of this next parliament, which means this wasn't an issue for down the road, it was highly relevant now. If you don't like tory 'protest' voters, perhaps hold the SNP to account for their position on indyref2.

Just vote no doesn't cut it. Many of us found the first referendum divisive, stressful and unpleasant. And any referendum creates uncertainty, of which we've just had a belly full. We don't want to go through it again.

whatashower - yes same constituency. I voted after 9pm and was a bit surprised about the number of names in my street not yet scored thru - so unless they were all postal then the turnout wasn't as good as indyref1.

We got the Lib Dems back by a good swing. I'm so glad I'm not in say Edinburgh North Argyll and Bute, Aberdeen North.

And Fife North East - all of you there who didn't vote Lib Dem what were you thinking of? 2 votes.

SNP hold for me and I'm happy with that. Only 60 votes in it between Labour and SNP in my area so really close. I would have been slightly annoyed if Labour took the seat but it wouldn't have been the end of the world as the Labour candidate is actually quite good. I would have been really pissed of if Conservitive had taken it - thankful it was not even close.

I can't understand why so many people in Scotland have voted Tory (well I can as a large percentage of them are protest votes against the SNP). I do think a lot of people forgot this election wasn't about Indy ref 2 and we will need to face another 5 years of austerity and cuts now. Coalition Con/DUP government now by the looks of it - FFS.

The Labour seat gains I get - Corbyn ran a great campaign - just a pitty Scottish Labour are so weak or they may have done better than the Cons.

Did anyone else play the game last night (BBC Scotland coverage) to see how many times the conservatives use the phrase 'divisive' when talking about the SNP. I lost count after it hit 43 by 3am. They must have had a briefing beforehand to tell them it was the only adjective the were allowed to use.

Thing is, I understand protest votes, but why the fuck they weren't used for Labour instead is what baffles me.

• The - They
• Phrase - Word

Sorry functioning on only a 60 minute power nap this afternoon as I stayed up all night watching the election results. My words aren't working properly at the moment.

I do think a lot of people forgot this election wasn't about Indy ref 2

Perhaps you should have told Sturgeon that. She made it all about Indy ref2

I don't think you do understand protest votes Saor. I don't care who the SNP lose to. As it happened it was a Lib Dem. My constituency was Labour for 2 years in 1929 - why would I vote Labour to get rid of the SNP?

I don't care who the SNP lose to

And you say I don't understand protest votes? Wow. This is the party that the Tories just got into bed with as a result of your protest votes.

But as long as Nicola got her comeuppance it will all be fine eh? It's not like homophobic, misogynistic, climate change denying orangemen who actually fraternise with terrorists have any say in the running of the UK now is it? Oh shit, wait a minute....

Why don't you address your ire to Sturgeon. She is the poisonous opportunist who made this all about Indy ref 2.

I loathe the SNP. I voted no in both devolution referenda as well as the independence referendum.

Good for you, you seem happy with your protest against Nicola no matter the cost. You accuse her of being one track minded yet all you ever bang on about is how much you hate the SNP and the Indy campaign. Hate them all you want, but when protests against it have such damaging effects, you've nobody to blame but yourself.

This is the party that the Tories just got into bed with as a result of your protest vote

Cut the dramatics. My constituency didn't even vote Labour in 1997 so my vote had little to do with Labour not winning. As it happens I've voted Labour in 6 elections in that constituency.

I've had enough of Labour. I don't like Corbyn. If I lived in a constituency where Labour would beat the SNP then I would vote Labour again, but only for that reason.

Good for you, you seem happy with your protest against Nicola no matter the cost

You seem to be confused about the democratic process. I don't want an SNP mp so I voted for some one else.

Ok so not your personal protest vote, but as a result of protest votes in general. Patronise me all you like, look down your nose all you like. It doesn't change the truth.

What truth? Voting the way you don't like is wrong? That is basically all you are saying

No, I'm not saying that. What I'm saying is that instead of protest votes being used to vote anyone but the SNP it would have made more sense to vote tactically in order to provide a majority government, not the car crash which has ensued from this disaster.

Tory gain. The snp lost some good mps last night. I'm so disappointed in all the tory votes, it was a well targeted campaign but I wonder how Ruth is feeling about the DUP getting into power...

I don't see the Scottish conservative seat gains as any sort of a disaster - it shows what a good moderate conservative leader can achieve. In fact, the lack of conservative, labour and lib dem MPs last time was the aberration.

If you think all those conservative votes were only independence protest votes then you're not listening - Davidson has landed many criticisms on Sturgeon over education policy.

DUP getting into power

They aren't getting into power. There isn't a coalition.

I hope Ruth is thinking that she can drag May to the centre, given the small majority and lack of hard brexit voter appeal.

not yet piglet, and even you cant fancy that
