Good Win for the Nats, and sounds very convincing.
I think Angus will be voting SNP for a long time.

That is a thumping result!

Labour did not stand in the poll after realising, too late to find someone new, that its candidate was ineligible because he did not live in the county.

I think this seat is one third in Dundee West and two thirds in Dundee East for Westminster.

The biggest percentage of the vote for any party in any council by-election since STV was introduced.

%-wise, looks like the Labour votes have went straight to the SNP. This sort of result should worry Labour big time for the 2010 GE.

And hard on the heels of the victory in Inverclyde which was against standing regional and seat majorities.

Also with a backdrop where it is hard to see what Labour and its lacky media can do in terms of propaganda. Sure they could do more, but their problem is that the elastic of credibility has already snapped for many people and their antics are now threatening even the legendary gullibility of the lumpen proletariate on which their rotten edifice depends.

Meanwhile, looks like Cameron cannot even wait to get in to start shooting himself in Das Boot.
