No Alex and Gordon show?

Phew. That's likely to be the sentiment in Labour supporting homes up and down the land tonight.

The result in Scotland is still too close to call but they may well hang on to power. That's vital both symbolically and actually, since an SNP victory would mean that Gordon Brown's first days as prime minister would be dominated by a clash of two Scots - the Alex and Gordon show.

General elections are won and lost in England though and Labour will be relieved by the fact that the Â鶹Éç's estimate that their vote share is up just a little.

After just 5 seats out of 129 - I think it is too EARLY, let alone too close to call!

The interesting this here is if significant people vote for the SNP is it because they want independence or is it because they don't want Labour?

SNP success could give a very unclear message that should mean it is difficult for any party to know how to react.
