  8. Results v Exit Poll predictionspublished at 02:40 British Summer Time 8 May 2015

    West Dunbartonshire: Here is another enormous swing from Lab to the SNP at 34 points and is even bigger than the 50 pt swing we were forecasting from the exit poll.

    Dundee West: We expected the SNP vote to be up by 35 and the Labour vote down by 24. In practice the SNP vote is up by 33 and Labour by 25.

    Falkirk: We are expecting the SNP vote to be up by 35 and Labour down by 23. In practice the SNP are up by 28 and Labour down by 21.

    Glenrothes: The SNP vote is up by 38 when we expected it to be up by 35. Labour is down by 32 when we expected it to be down by 28.

    So far...the exit poll has overestimated the increase in SNP support in six constituencies and underestimated in two. However, the two seats with the biggest underestimate are seats where the SNP were already strong.

  9. Falkirkpublished at 02:38 British Summer Time 8 May 2015

    Falkirk had been Eric Joyce's seat until the election. He was elected as Labour but ended as an independent.

    The seat was won by John McNally of the SNP with 57.7% of the vote.

    Western Isles: The smaller increase in the SNP vote here of just 9 pts is hardly surprising given it is already an SNP seat. If of course the SNP are advancing less strongly in their existing strongholds it means that their advance elsewhere is bound to be a little stronger than the average across Scotland as a whole.

    Paisley and Renfrewshire South: We were expecting the SNP to be up by 35 points and Labour down by 24 and that Douglas Alexander would lose his seat. This indeed is what has happened and there can be no doubt that the SNP are going to win almost every seat in Scotland. The SNP vote is up by 33 pts and Alexander down 21; not far from the exit poll prediction.

    Douglas Alexander, who was Shadow Foreign Secretary in the last parliament, also ran Labour's general election campaign. His defeat by Mhairi Black, a 20-year-old politics student, is a massive blow to Labour.
