I have now spoken to three people in Glasgow with the same news: Labour has lost. It was 42% turnout, a monster turnout – given that 48% voted in the general election. It was the sort of turnout one normally associates with a constituency which fancies giving someone a kicking. Now I’m not calling this for the SNP, but I thought I’d share with CoffeeHousers the message which political journalists are sending to each other right now. Also word that the Tories may beat the LibDems into third place: an unexpected result which would be tremendous news for Cameron.
