Gee, I wonder why? Yellow is the Scottish National Party(Scotland). Elsewhere in Britain, Blue is Conservatives, Red is Labor (Left). The leaders of the three major opposition parties all resigned, including Ed Miliband, the one who was going to enact ‘Islamaphobia’ laws, if elected.
Via Daily Caller:
Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservative Party won an unexpectedly large share of Parliament in the United Kingdom’s general election Thursday, quashing doubts that the Conservatives would maintain power.
The surge was just one of many election night surprises in the U.K., alongside the near-total sweep of the Scottish National Party across 56 of Scotland’s 59 parliamentary seats. Prior to Thursday, the SNP held just six seats. Cameron’s rivals in the Labour Party, which has dominated Scotland for decades, lost every single one of its Scottish seats, including those of several high-profile Labour officials.
And the SNP found another historic victory: the election of Mhairi Black, an outspoken 20-year-old university student who will become the U.K.’s youngest lawmaker since the 1600s. She unseated Douglas Alexander, the Labour shadow foreign secretary — that is, the opposition’s chief parliamentarian responsible for foreign policy.
