It looks like the SNP will win 50 to 60 of Scotland's 71 seats in the House of Commons tomorrow.

Labour is poised to win *not even one* seat in Scotland, which used to be a Labour stronghold. LD leader Nick Clegg may be getting crossover "tactical" votes from Tory voters (the Tory candidate is polling no higher than 12 percent) to deny the seat to Labour. UKIP's poised to win just one seat out of the 650 at stake in the UK. Labour is so repellent to many that in close races between Labour and Conservatives, where UKIP was a strong third but still out of it, expect the unexpected Tory victory here and there. Pollsters show Labour has gained at the expense of other parties in Wales, but has lost Scotland; has London but not much gain there.

Overall, the Cameron's Tories will nudge Miliband's Labour by about seven seats, sez here, 282 to 275, regardless of the percentages of the popular vote; Liberal Democrats 18 seats, UKIP 1, Greens 1, SNP 52, Plaid Cymru 3, Democratic Union (N Ireland) 18. If that breakdown is correct, Cameron will need the LD and the Democratic Union to even come close; he's made reference to taxation autonomy for Wales and Scotland. [see more crazed rant here]
