Damn you, now I've fallen into looking over the BBC's meticulously detailed and broken-down-by-region results in full political junkie mode even though none of it actually means anything to me. (As of the writing of this comment, Scotland has 41 seats for Labour, 10 for Liberal Democrats, 6 for the Scottish National Party, and a whopping 1 Conservative! This is a 0.1% swing from SNP to LAB! Surely this says... something!!)
Actually, I am a little intrigued that Northern Ireland apparently doesn't have any of the same parties as the entire rest of the UK, with their results currently being 8 for Democratic Unionist (-1!!), 6 for Sinn Fein, 3 for SDLP, 1 for Alliance (+1!!) and 1 for Others (+1!!) Really, though, 1 for Others? Would it kill you to name the other party at that point? There's only one of them!
Aeeeergh.
Edit: Also, I'm throwing this in because no one else has yet and someone has to.
