https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> Won a record 81% of declared constituencies
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> Won a record 47.1% vote share
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✅" title="Fettes weißes Häkchen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes weißes Häkchen"> The only party to gain seats (+3)

For comparison, no party has won a higher vote share in the UK or Scotland in 50+ years:

Johnson: 43.6% (25.1%)
May: 42.4% (28.6%)
Cameron: 36.9% (14.9%)
Brown: 29% (42%)
Blair: 43.2% (45.6%)
Major: 41.9% (25.6%)
Thatcher: 43.9% (31.4%)
Wilson: 39.2% (36.3%)
Heath: 46.4% (38.0%)

For context, previous constituency vote shares in Scottish Parliament elections:

Sturgeon & #39;16: 46.5%
Salmond & #39;11: 45.4%
Salmond & #39;07: 32.9%
McConnell & #39;03: 34.6%
Dewer & #39;99: 38.8%

To put @theSNP results, so far, in context:

If this was a FPTP election, like in Westminster, @NicolaSturgeon would be on course for a bigger landslide than Tony Blair in 1997.

Winning 81% of constituencies is the equivalent of 526/650 seats at Westminster - a 402 majority.
