There seems to be differences between what actually happened in 2012 and the changes reported by the BBC; I think it may be down to boundary changes. I'm reporting the BBC figures.

[Clyde1998]

The SNP are going to be short of a majority in Glasgow - and will require Green support to govern. Every mainland seat in Scotland is now under No Overall Control; only the three island councils have a majority - and they're all independent councils.

     Why is Scotland like this? I saw the previous election's results had a few councils under partisan control, but most were still NOC.

Scotland uses STV, while England and Wales uses FPTP (some with multiple winner FPTP seats).

[Clyde1998]

So despite all the hype SNP lost seats???

They actually have six more seats than they won in 2012, but I think boundary changes means that they have a net loss of seven.

[Clyde1998]

The Guardian reckons the SNP are up 31

[Clyde1998]

Good libdem performance in East Dunbartonshire for some reason.

The Lib Dems are historically good in East Dunbartonshire. I'm not sure why though.

The pattern of Labour won wards is pretty striking isn't it lol.

Isn't it

Are you suggesting that East Sutherland and Edderton is full of Orangemen?
