As a curiosity – What was the provenence of the two Independents in Orkney and Shetland in 2011. They took 25-30% of the vote (which seemed to magnify any anti-LD swing) then but neither restood this time.
More evidence that whatever personal scandals/issues affect an individual representative it doesn’t translate much to other party candidates.
Congrats for another great result.
