Glasgow North East by-election

So Labour won, as everyone expected. SNP were second, but only got just over a third of the votes Labour did.

“The SNP is a novelty that has worn off.”

- Jim Murphy, Scottish Secretary

Looks like he was right! (just to clarify, I’m a ‘floating voter’, which means I’m allowed to slag off anybody I like!)

The poorest turnout to date for a Scottish by-election – 32.97%.

Conservatives and the BNP received almost the same amount of votes, and the Lib Dems are lagging behind with only 494 votes.

What baffles me is that 54 people actually went to the ballot and voted for Big Brother nine contestant Mikey Hughes!
