Crazy night really. Thought this would be boring a few weeks ago and saw myself waking up to a result. Absolutely knackered, but sticking around a bit longer.

Losing approx 40% of their seats is more of a crash IMO
Re: Tories saved the Scots?
Another Tory government ahead, 3 cornwall and Kensington left. Probably guaranteed Tory, so they'd only need 7 for the majority. DUP easily get them there and I am gutted.
Re: Tories saved the Scots?
The Labour party if canny could be back with a majority if another election is called as they could take those Scottish seats back , I think they only went to Tories as they thought in Scotland that Corbyn wasn't a viable option and he might allow referendum 2 with SNP support ..??

Still the largest party in Scotland and tbh the only way was down for the SNP, a bit of levelling out maybe?
Re: Tories saved the Scots?
Funny aint it. SNP came to power on the back of Scotland never influencing the UK government. Now have given the UK a Tory government.
Didn't go plan there did it Scotland?

If anyone remember's Major's majority Government of 1 seat, and MPs being dragged in from their deathbeds to get a vote through, then anyone who thinks we now have a Tory Government will be pleasantly surprised.
I think we are in for amusing times, and part of me hope May sticks around for it. It will be brutal.

Or did nationalism save the day
Re: Tories saved the Scots?
More like Scots saved the Tories because if the Scots had stuck with the SNP then May would be even deeper in the shyte.

I think you are confusing Major with either Callaghan or Wilson. Major never had a majority of one seat.

It was a very slender majority at the end of 1996/7. I remember Betty Bothroyd had to vote with the Government once as Speaker.
