There's been a murder!!

WOW!!!

That was all I could say last night as the unbelievable news came through that the SNP had taken Glasgow East.

Personally, I thought that they would have got within a couple of thousand of Labour, but ultimately come up short.

How wrong was I ?!!

Granted, Labour's campaign didn't get off to the best of starts, but even so, it has been an awesome effort by the SNP to take this seat.

If the SNP continue on the form they are on, who would bet against them achieving a "YES" outcome in an independence referendum? First Salmond takes the Gordon seat with a swing of 21%. Then he turns the political landscape upside down by his party becoming the biggest party in Scotland by gaining an incredible 20 seats at Holyrood. Now his party have taken a Westminster seat that has been Labour for generations.

Next stop independence?

What next for poor Frances Curran, oops, I mean Margaret Curran. She must have thought she was a certainty for the job as she was the MSP for part of the constituency and the fact that the area had traditionally voted Labour.

WRONG!!!!

She must have also considered herself to be one of the favourites to become Scottish Labour Leader, but surely she cannot stand for it now. She will struggle to be selected for the Bailieston seat at the next election in 2011, so I think she is heading the same way as New Labour - Out the door!
