Comprehensive results with a full breakdown. Has a cool interactive map. I was surprised at how blue (Conservative) the map was. Labour seems to get most it's support from urban areas.

The map is interesting in showing that the Conservative & Unionist party (the mainstream party most commited to the UK) has such weak support in Scotland and Wales, which I guess isn't really suprising.
The Scottish Nationalist Party (Pro-Scottish Independence) gaines 2 seats, but sadly Plaid Cymru (Welsh Independence) lost a seat

It should be pointed out that the phoney Celtic nationalists are pro immigration and multi-culti.

[QUOTE=Jim]It should be pointed out that the phoney Celtic nationalists are pro immigration and multi-culti.[/QUOTE] They're not 'phoney' nationalists, they're stupid nationalists. They focus on territorial separatism whilst virtually ignoring ethnic nationalism for a variety of reasons, not least of which is political opportunism. The real litmus test for a fake Celtic nationalist is discovering they actually care what an Englishman thinks in the first place, asking the English to validate Celtic identity is like asking a Jew to count your loose change.
