Your support makes all the difference.As the results of the 2015 general election rolled in, it was a night of surprises across the UK's political landscape.
The two clear winners were the Conservatives who defied the odds to win a surprise majority, and the Scottish National Party who secure a landslide victory north of the border winning all but three seats.
For the rest of the UK’s political parties it was a time of "disappointment" and "reflection", with Labour’s grip on Scotland being all but extinguished, the Liberal Democrats losing 49 MPs and Ukip only managing to secure one parliamentary seat.
Following the results, some celebrated, others soul-searched and George Galloway blamed "racists" and "Zionists".
