An Interesting Night, But Most Interesting Story Still to Come
No doubt that the LibDems had a dreadful night. Labour will claim it’s been great for them, yet they’ve barely touched the Conservative vote, so that claim is pretty hollow.
The Tories are the big winners, as they haven’t lost out despite being in power at Westminster and bringing in huge cuts. In the words of a Tweeter, ‘their human shield has worked brilliantly!’
In Scotland clearly the winners have been SNP, destroying the Labour vote, yet Labour have been hugely successful in Wales.
The biggest story is still to come. What will happen in the referendum? Most people seem to be suggesting the No vote has won, yet at the time of writing no results have been declared. There is a slim chance of the general consensus being wrong and the Yes vote winning, but much of that will depend on the turnout in areas where there weren’t council elections.
