Stirling result

The result of my own constituency was much as I expected: Labour won with a majority reduced by 7 per cent (Anne McGuire, 15,729, majority 4,767).

Before the election I argued that the Tories had already maximized their vote and couldn’t hope for much better. I was correct there (Kerr, Conservative, 10,962, plus 1.4 per cent).

The SNP did poorly (McGlinchey 5,503, minus 4.5 percent) whereas the Liberal Democrats improved their vote by 9.2 percent (Holdsworth 9,052).

This implies that Stirling will become a Liberal Democrat challenged seat in future elections.
