Ouch!
Good morning velvet
the nasty tory party have regained boston borough council will be the headline in my local paper however, in some cases it was with the slimmest of margins (10's rather than 100's) and it was gained from a bunch of independents who couldn't organise a ****** in a brewery, however it still flags up as a victory
twas a lib dem victory here.. they took more council seats from the Tories! Not enough to have overall power though.
Am double glad I voted now
Hope my mum doesn't lead yours astray Scotty!

Especially in my mum's case when she hears the Clydebank/Milngavie vote went to SNP. (That's where we came from) It was always Labour and she and my dad always voted SNP.
Shocked to see Glasgow strong holds go .
Fair play to the SNP,they hammered us (Labour) ,now lets see them Govern.
Still kept our good Labour MSP in my ward.

Yea,the savage cuts haven't kicked in yet.
Lib Dems are taking a hammering !
Nothing like giving the little guy a good kicking
The Tories and Labour should be rightly proud of themselves
The Lib Dems up here made it quite clear that they felt this was "payback" by the electorate for a shabby decision by the party's leadership- Tavish Scott in the debate the other night was pretty scathing about it. I think they're right,and I hope Clegg pays attention..
Yea the Lib Dems usually do OK up in Scotland, in the borders/highlands etc.I feel quite sorry for them.To think that Scotland produced the likes of the late great John Smith and we ended up with that wishy washy leader now...sigh!

I know. Tavish Scott did well, but a hell of a lot of their candidates lost their deposits . It's a shame, but it should send a clear message to Clegg, I'm glad about that.
I actually feel sorry for Gray . You're right, not a patch on Smith,( not many are! ) but Blair changed the face of the party in Scotland and we've pretty much got a crew of suited and booted
" managers" and career politicians . Wonder if Michael McMahon will go for the leadership? ( See his daughter got elected too?)

There was one comment I heard last night which I thought rather interesting (it was in reference to the Lib Dems in Scotland, but could equally apply to Labour).
It was that while the SNP withdrew their "best" people from Westminster so they could stand in Holyrood instead, the more ambitious politicians in the UK-wide parties saw (and still see) their futures in Westminster...
Still kept our good Labour MSP in my ward.
W e still have ours,Michael McMahon , his daughter now in from the list.
We made such a mess of the list ,other Parties had their candidate on the list.We shoulld have done the same .
There are two MSP's who I felt "Karma" about getting the boot,Donald Dewar Babies.

To be fair ..........I think John Smith was one of a kind - a little bit special. So tragic that he died before being able to make his mark!

Michael's a good man ( saw him on TV tonight though and he looked knackered! ) Hope he goes for the leadership , though he might be too " old school" for some.

I think that's a good point- Holyrood is seen as a glorified council by some,and just a stepping stone on the way to braying " hyah hyah hyahh!" . That might change a bit if they do get more devolved powers ( and there's support from Labour and the Lib Dems for some of the proposed areas ) , but some will always aspire to Westminster
George Galloway has failed to win a Holyrood seat on the Glasgow regional voting list.
The cherry on the icing.
