Wvlost so many seats because FPTP stops working once a single party gets into the high 40s with a split oppo, it becomes a killing field

Our vote fell below the killing field transition, and lol we stopped walking on water and only became a normal winning party

I haven't looked at the original constituencies, but I guess the non-SNP parties were less evenly split in 2017 than 2015.

We were on 44% in 2015 last night we got 38%

So, 14% fewer votes, and 38% fewer seats... :/

Yup, but 44% of the vote got 56 our of 59 seats which is many things, but democratic it isn't...

Yeah, I agree. I think today's result is a truer reflection of what the electorate voted for! :)
