Scotland staying in the EU?

Rasczak

Pretty much what was predicted on Tuesday. As was the collapse of the labour vote. Only thing wrong so far is that the Scottish Greens failed to pick up as many votes as expected. They seem to be stuck where they were in 2014 at 8.1%. The tactical voting guide I read before hand for Scotland was they were the one to go for as the SNP would get three MEPS but not enough votes to get four. But they needed a 11% vote to get that seat.

Annecdotally my local  polling station said they had never seen it so quite. Even the local council elections got a higher voter turnout.

Well, have to admit I played it safe and voted for the SNP.  I mulled over the Lib Dems but didn't want to take the risk whereas SNP were guaranteed success.

So Libdems and SNP you used to be vehemently against.

Yes, funny old things Sonic, I can change my opinion and voting habits based on changing events and policies.

Now the Western Isles have caught up with the rest of the UK, the Scottish results are out:

SNP - 37.8%
Brexit 14.8%
LD - 13.9%
Con - 11.6%
Lab - 9.3%
Green - 8.3%
ChUK - 1.9%
UKIP - 1.8%

Remain scored over 60% of the vote.

Not Open MRI scanners and not in the NHS. Same position applies with Upright MRI scanners.

My local hospitals have 3 MRI scanners none of which are open and and at least 2 CT scanners.
Even Stornoway Hospital has a CT scanner now, previously they used to rent a mobile one.
And there is one for only £25K on ebay, although from a 0 feedback seller...

61.9% for the remain parties isn't much different to the Scotland 62% remain vote in the referendum. Albeit on a lower voter turnout of <40% vs 67.2% in the referendum. But a bit higher than the 33.5% for the 2014 Euro election.

Looks like a lot of people didn't see this as a 'rerun' of the referendum or just aren't interested anymore.

Turnouts
2014 - 33.5%
2009 - 28.5%
2004 - 30.9%
1999 - 24.7%

Note.

What the EU elections tell us about support for Brexit

Equally, 35% backed one of the three UK-wide parties (Lib Dems, Greens and Change UK) that supported a second referendum. If Plaid Cymru (1%) and the SNP (3.5%) are included, the Remain share of the vote is just over 40%, although the SNP is known to secure considerable support from those who voted Leave.

Although that was voting to leave the UK...
