"Coalition could be tricky too"
Yes.
Better wait for the final numbers before speculating too much!
I definitely underestimated the extent of 'Tory revival'.
Will be plenty talk of 'voting system' and 'party candidates per ward tactics' for some time I think.

Some interesting results in Colinton, the SNP Richard Lewis was in second after the first preferences were counted. But Labour and second tory jumped over him?

Quota was 2130
Susan Rae was 30 "1" votes from meeting round 1 quota. Wow. She easily picked up what she needed for election from the first few rounds of no-hoper eliminations.
Harald Tobermann got a respectable 500 votes off the back of his short and well run campaign.
Marion D (Lab) got double the "1" votes that Nick G (Lab) got.
At every stage of eliminations Marion D picked up double the votes that Nick G got and it was the elimination of Nick G that ultimately pushed Marion D over the quota.
Because of his poor "1" performance he was simply never in the running.
The SNP candidates both picked up nearly equal numbers of "1" votes (1900 Lewis R, 1770 Amy M). The final elimination of Cristina M (Tory) gave Lewis R the small push over the quota he needed and then Amy M was last man standing (and only 23 votes from meeting quota herself). Anyone who voted Tory 1 had no secondary preferences considered, both SNP were being elected in Stage 9 no matter what.
STV seems to have done it's job combining the split Labour vote into a single, more popular candidate. The Labour first pref vote collapsed 15% into the SNP and Tories, so this is correct.

Portobello / Craigmillar ward 17

Just realised, Mike Bridgman didn't get re-elected.
Won't be needing to park in the City Chambers anymore.

What does this mean for coalitions? SNP-Lab-Green? SNP-Lab minority administration? Or SNP-Con: surely not?

SNP gain from Labour in final ward.Posted 7 years ago # -
Looks like Tories have just been pipped as the largest party. So some good news today.

"SNP-Con: surely not?"
I really hope not.

No

"Looks like Tories have just been pipped as the largest party. "
I'm hopeful that is their post-Brexit high water mark, at least in Scotland. Much as SNP gained a boost following IndyRef.
I wonder if we can glean any hints from these results for the looming general election?

Different electoral system...
Posted 7 years ago # -
SNP have ruled out a tory alliance, I can't see that changing even under a new leader.
For any other coalition to have a majority requires two parties. However the interesting part is that any two of the remaining 3 would have a majority. However the if tories managed to get two parties to join them then they would also have a majority coalition.
