The Conservatives have thrown the kitchen sink at this. If they lose badly, I want you all to point and laugh

Will be interesting to see what happens in this seat. If our vote drops to around 35% I’d say we were on around 22% nationally. If the SNP vote is north of 45% I’d say they are close to 50% nationally.

Well, it happened yesterday, so I presume counting is ongoing now?

Will be interesting to see the break down, with so few votes in it on First preference I'm surprised the SNP nabbed it. |

SNP - 1683 (42.4%) Con - 1658 (41.7%) Lib Dem - 405 (10.2%) Lab - 114 (2.9%) Green - 112 (2.8%) On those figures, the Cons could safely field 2 candidates in the all-ups in 2022, with every expectation of gaining a seat off the LDs. |

So the fact we are up by almost a percent is I suppose some welcome news. |

That is clearly a good result for SNP and not a bad one for the Conservatives
Ongoing irrelevance for the LDs who nevertheless remain in power in Aberdeenshire and will continue to be so.

Quietly pleased with this result. It would've been better to win, but a good omen for next year. With the SNP reigniting the independence question, that will also have, and will, play(ed) into our hands.

I would not have expected them to hold onto their 2017 which I regarded as a high water mark. The days of coming below quota and sweating over transfers are certainly over The SNP have also returned to their high water mark and it looks as if both are consolidated at around 40% with also rans dependent on undermomination. The SNP can also be happy that they appear to not be transfer toxic, |
