It was like this in 2015 and 17 as well. Labour wins seem to come through before the tory ones.

Labour seats are generally in high-population urban areas. Tory seats are more rural/suburban and therefore the votes are more spread out and take longer to collect and count.

Labour always have an early lead then the Evil Empire come back and win. Like about a million Villa vs Man U matches I have attended.

The borders is one of the least politically engaged areas of the country and most folk just vote for John Lamont because he's been about forever and is a bit of a familiar face, without really thinking of what party he supports. Also the weird mix of posh farmer types and deprivation in other areas makes it a pretty backwards area

Lap top powered up but I am a bit sceptical about the application of exit poll to Scotland. I did think 43 but I would be delighted to get 47. Watching BBC Scotland and the "Better together" dinosaurs are getting ready to use different "mandates" tactics from now on. My main want is to see Kerr/Graham/ Gaffney/Jack sent packing. A bit like Ming Campbell I don't know if I can stay up beyond 2 a.m.  The "precious union" is looking tarnished even more now, but it could depend on the turnouts in all the seats. I would suspect if it is up it could mean the missing  Yes voters of 2017 have returned.
