SNP win, 47-46

Looks like the SNP will have to form a minority government. None of the other parties have enough seats for any of them to form a majority - even if they were willing to join with the SNP. The Lds said before the election that they wouldn't support them due to the independence issue and the Tories would never entertain the idea.

I've not done the sums and I don't fully know the politics behind successful entry into the EU etc (although I have an idea) so I'm just basing that statement on blind faith and ignorance. If it has to work it will work is my general theory on this sort of thing but the next while should be interesting regardless.
