THE DAY OUR SCOTLAND TURNED YELLOW
On the 5th of May 2011 the people of Scotland went to vote on the
future of their country,little did we know history was about to be made.I like many other S.N.P members & activists thought the party would do well enough to return to Hollyrood for a second term.The whole country was in for a shock as the polling stations closed.
This was the first election that I would be using other forms of media to follow the results as the night progressed, the TV, Radio, online & Twitter. On my browser i had opened,newsnetscotland.com it would keep me going when things got boring, with the BBC & debate & the crac,was brilliant through the night. I was listening to Radio Scotland & watching STV,for the first time ever I was using twitter not to tweet simply to find out what was happening at the count in Clydebank & for tweets about the Dumbarton count.
The first results to come in was Glasgow,Rutherglen- Lab hold, next East Kilbride S.N.P Gain, Hamilton was next an S.N.P Gain
What was to unfold for the rest of May 6th was amazing, I watched in disbelief as the S.N.P returned a total of 69 MSPs. This was not supposed to happen under devolution,it was designed so no party could get a majority, especially the S.N.P . Well they were wrong because Scotland's turned YELLOW
ONE SCOTLAND, OUR SCOTLAND
ALBA GU BRATH, SAOR ALBA
