I was a bit wrong in my premature analysis, it would seem:

The SNP did rather better than I thought, as did the Tories. Labour still did a lot better than everyone was expecting, though. Apart from the Scottish situation (which was hardly a disaster, even if the SNP do have one more seat than them), they’ve got off lightly. They should all be breathing a big sigh of relief. (Good Scottish elections analysis at The Select Society, by the by.)
