The first coalition government in 70 years came to an end yesterday. The General Election has of course been in the news for the last weeks or even months. As I cannot vote in this country, I have to admit that I have been paying little attention to the campaigns.
The exit polls predicted the actual outcome which means that the Tories will be reigning thanks to winning the majority. With the Lib Dems losing most of their votes and the SNP winning most Scottish seats with their overall number of seats rising from just 6 to 56 (out of 59 Scottish seats!). I suppose not all that surprising after the very close result in the Scottish independent referendum last year.
Otherwise, a shocking result which came as a surprise to most.
