X marks the spot.

It seems that Thursday's election results provided a bit of something for everyone. Labour did badly, but nowhere near as catastrophically badly as many had predicted. The Conservatives more or less trod water in England and Wales and did reasonably well in Scotland. The LibDems, Plaid Cymru and Ukip all made a few gains - enough to get them exited, and the SNP once again dominated in Scotland, for all that they lost their overall majority.  What I haven't seen reported so far is the turn-out, which is traditionally poor for local elections and maybe will give a better indication of just how relevant these results are in the great scheme of things.
