Keeping count

I hope this link works permanently, as I have enjoyed crunching the numbers for the general election.

My analysis started on the assertion by some that as only 16.6% of Sccotland's 2.4 million voters put an x in the box marked conservative, Scotland shouldn't be ruled by a Conservative led Westminster government. An interesting point. I am assuming that because less than 16.6% of the 7 million voters in the South East and South West (of England) didn't vote Labour, we shouldn't have a Labour government either.

Or maybe I'm missing the point. Perhaps the real issue is its time for Scotland to go its own way. Not a bad idea. The EU can fund them instead of the English.
