Will be open soon!

Please do not post results & etc for the Welsh Assembly or English council elections here.

This is the place to post Scottish council election results though (in addition to the Scottish Parliament).

Seems like all the Labourites are convinced Scotland will go SNP while all the anti-Labour people are convinced Labour will hold on! Everyone's a pessimist.

And my earlier prediction to be laughed at later. SNP-Lib Dem coalition with possibly the Greens included to ensure stability (since this gives an SNP-Lib Dem majority of only 2).

SNP 44
LAB 36
LIB 22
CON 18
GRN 6
SOL 1
SCU 1
IND 2

Wait... The Greens ran a candidate in Glasgow Kelvin!? Well, they were the spoilers. SNP came 5.1% short and the Greens won 12.6% (good for third).

Back from the ongoing count - computer glitches galore, masses of spoilt papers. It's a ----ing shambles and an insult to democracy.

Spoilt papers were expected in the STV council vote, but not in the Holyrood vote where nothing has changed.

My result not in, won't be in for hours. Unhappy, disgruntled and ashamed.

Indeed. The difference between SNP and Labour in Glasgow Kelvin was about 1200, and if I heard correctly the number of rejected ballot papers was 1995. Given this, I'm shocked the SNP didn't insist on a recount.

It was actually anticipated; they piled resources into Airdrie as a result. But a blow none the less.

Lab hold Cunninghame South and Glasgow Baillieston. The SNP total in both is basically SNP+SSP from last time; Labour hardly changed at all.

Enormous LD majority in Shetland. Not surprising, really.

It looks like tactical voting backfired on the anti-Labourites in Dumfries. Cons decline and SNP gains when the ideal was the other way around. Lab hold.

The strangeness continues; SNP may have won Fife Central

Theres a possible 'Dorset South' sensation in this election.

May I add re Dumfries, not being partisan, but Dumfries town has swung strongly behind Labour - it happened in 2005 when they managed to retain the Galloway seat it is located in.

That was perhaps too obvious for ourselves to notice.
