Looks like the Conservatives are going to defy the polls and win a fairly decisive majority. This will probably add to American right's distrust of polls.
Thatcher won again right?

I have been following just because I'm an avid reader of The Economist. It's definitely good news (IMO) that the Conservatives won. If they had to get into an alliance with UKIP to govern it would be bad news for the EU and give legitimacy to the UKIP which is a xenophopic organization with some scary far-right members. A governing alliance including UKIP would make it more likely that Britain leaves the EU when they hold their in-or-out referendum which I think Cameron promised for next year or 2017. If Labour had to assemble a coalition with the Scottish Nationalists there would probably be another Scottish independence referendum. I think America's interests are best served by Scotland staying in the UK and the UK staying in the EU, so this was probably the best result for America.

So how did the SNP pull a near sweep yet a majority of Scots didn't vote for independence?
David Cameron's tone deaf "fuck Scotland go team England" comments after the referendum pretty much galvanized Scotland.
