In my view, the SNP's independence for Scotland is very anti-English, which means I'm pleased they didn't get to form a coalition with Labour with their prat of a leader Miliband.

One good thing about the result,
At least the SNP will not be blackmailing a coalition for their support.
Pete, you've fallen hook, line and sinker for that particular Tory attack line. How could the SNP have blackmailed Miliband into coalition when he promised beforehand that he wouldn't go into coalition with them? You're also ignoring the fact that 50-odd MPs cannot blackmail a parliament of 650 MPs. The SNP could never vote against a Labour Queen's Speech/budget/whatever because in doing so, they would fundamentally be backing the Tories and they would never, ever do that (not since 1979, anyway). Not to mention that most of the SNP policies (other than their wish for independence) weren't really that far away from those of Labour. A bit more to the left, but not by a huge amount. It's all irrelevant now in any case as Labour lost too many of their votes to other parties such as the Greens and UKIP, but the Conservative and media scaremongering about the SNP was always a con job designed to cost Labour votes despite the lack of any real threat.

Well we've got 5 years but it's an uphill struggle. So better start the fight back sooner rather than later.

It is so depressing how many people seemed to have gone for the negative Tory bullshit about the evil of the SNP and what a Lab-SNP coalition would have meant. Considering Cameron seemed desperate to keep the Union together eight months ago he's done a huge amount to ensure it has no long-term future. The Scottish don't hate the English. They hate the smug, entitled, sneering, condescending English. Who can blame them when the British PM has used them as a political make-weight?

Don't worry about the nastiness, just swallow it whole with a big glass of buffoonery.

touched a nerve have I? no need to be so aggressive towards me for having a political view
No not at all, I'm a proud Englishman but to the loony left labour racists this makes me a raging racist? So I'm glad they've been turned over big time, I doubt we will see a labour government for at least 15 - 20 years. When people who have been democratically elected are getting surrounded by the fascist left like farage and his children did then some things wrong with British people I think? The left seem to think anyone who has a different view to their warped Marxist ideology is somehow a paid up member of the waffen ss ! So yeah the left is finished now so good riddance. The icing on the cake was seeing the traitor Galloway getting it.....priceless.

I genuinely feel for folk who for one reason or another can not fend for themselves because the Tories will devour them, every bit as much as they did with their useful idiots the Liberal Democrats who enabled them to start the whole process in the first instance. That apart, I'm over the moon with the result up here. I'm also thinking how it might have panned out had the Labour Party denounced austerity as well? Milliband was, quite simply, a fool. Whenever Dave said "Jump" he said "How high?" My only fear now is that the Labour Party look inwards and revert to Blairism, they certainly won't move to the left, albeit Scottish labour might be able to do so if they have the balls to ditch Murphy. If they don't they're history. Watch the rabid Tory backbenchers now take their gloves off and demand that Cameron fights for an exit from the EU. With a thin majority it's the perfect storm for them to flex their muscles, and when the vote does reflect the nation's wishes we'll have then have the perfect opportunity to declare UDI up here BTW, although I'm delighted with the Scottish result I still have the misfortune to be represented by the only Tory MP FFS. Was down in Grimsby this week helping my niece who was standing for the Green party in the town. So glad she played a major part in keeping Ayling and UKIP out with her ability to ridicule her over renewables. Grimsby would have been a national laughing stock had Ayling got in.

I don't think you know what Marxism actually is.
