I was on a stag do this weekend with 20 lads for Scotland I've never met. Not one of them was voting the tories or SNP. WTF is happening.

It's the borders and Aberdeenshire mainly. Always been to the right. The population bases in Scotland will not go Tory.

Labour 17
Conservatives 2
Plaid Cymru 2
 
Are DUP in favour of a hard brexit? How would they vote on any of those issues?

BBC figure of 322 still seems OTT though...

i guess they are worried if Labour got it it might be in coalition with then SNP, and the SNP might demand another referendum as part of that coalition and seems very clear the Scotish people don't want that.

It's a mixture of things really. Peoples opinions towards Tory has softened over the years, well in the younger generation. My parents who harboured resentment in the past don't really care about policies from 30 years ago that were implemented. Some areas are also just getting richer. Some view Labours Immigration laws to be far too soft so have tactically voted Tories, when they may vote SNP usually.

Tories are still (publicly) hated in Scotland. Most who vote for them wouldn't tell anyone for the constant stream of abuse that would come your way.

My first boyfriend once lived in loch Lomond with his ex (my tag line was bestowed upon me because of him) he said rurally people weren't doing because a back of jobs, why why why would they vote tories
 
Ugh, great we'll get a government of DisMay and NI UKIP.
 
Scotland voting Tories - but voted remain. Stupid fecking country. Having a meltdown right now.
 
I still think May might be in trouble even with a small majority. Trying to negotiate Brexit with so little leeway is going to be incredibly difficult for her.
