Really pleased with the LD performance and hope it’s a sign of things to come for them, and for all of us really.
Regardless of which party you support, FPTP means essentially a two party system U.K. wide.
In lieu of some sort of PR system replacing it (the ideal option imo), the next best thing would be having a legitimately competitive third party.
I just hope they don’t make the same mistakes as last time if they do get near power again.
And that ends a brilliant set of results for the Libdems in Scotland. A lot of orange back on the map!
I’m disappointed that a good supporter of Trade Unions in Drew Hendry has been voted out and a man who donated thousands to the Tories in the past has taken his place. But, then again, I didn’t even vote for Drew.
What a waste of a vote. The inbetweeners.
The legalise weed vote really stung the SNP here, hopefully they learn from this.
‘LibDem’ millionaire who donated to Boris Johnson’s Tories. Just an opportunist. Shame Drew Hendry lost that one
Didn’t he donate 25 grand to the tories a few years ago?
Not seeing it on the BBC site yet?
Why are swathes of the Highlands and Islands traditionally/historically Lib Dem?
Never been a LibDem but always liked Charles Kennedy (RIP). Anytime he appeared on Question Time especially you couldn’t help but take note. Dude talked with some humour and common sense.
