SNP stuns Labour in Glasgow East

Quote from: BBC Web Shite
The SNP has pulled off a stunning by-election victory by winning Glasgow East, one of Labour's safest seats.

The Nationalists overturned a Labour majority of 13,507 to win by only 365 votes with a swing of 22.54%.

The SNP polled 11,277 votes in the contest, while the Tories came third with 1,639 and the Lib Dems, with 915 votes, came fourth.

SNP candidate John Mason said the victory was "off the Richter Scale", while Labour expressed disappointment.

Voter turnout was 42.25%, down on the 48% figure at the last election, with 26,219 votes cast.

The result was declared at Glasgow's Tollcross Leisure Centre in the early hours of Friday, after a re-count was requested by Labour, which won 10,912 votes in the contest.

Most excellent, I thought they might just scrape through...  cloud9:

I heard a minister being interviewed in the early hours. He was saying "We are listening and learning..." I thought, "You've lost that election, haven't you?" Then I heard the result!" ;D

Not a patch on the motorcycle one, but good nonetheless.

I have a feeling that we will see the clip used in a lot more things.
