SNP take over in Scotland ... Labour main party in Welsh Assembly

Good to see Labour getting in a pasting in what they have long regarded as one of their 2 strongholds.  Find it both amusing and sad to see their standing in Wales when, by the Welsh Assembly's own findings as well as independent reports, the quality of the health and education services in Wales have dropped dramatically since devolution - under Labour in both Westminster and Cardiff for 90+% of the time.

libdem vote collapse

read Plaid and Labour in Welsh and Scottish elections respectively: not sure about N. Ireland.

anyone following any of this or is it a bit irrelevant... are there any implications of the various changes and features?

The Scottish vote will inevitably lead to a referendum in Scotland on independence.  Not sure that that will necessarily pass, though.  Not sure of how Ed Milliband will be able to spin what has been a fairly mixed bag for Labour - after all, if the Welsh Labour Party in Cardiff continue down the road of the last 8-12 years, there will be a growing division between the UK and the Welsh parties.
