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.

Following the results, some celebrated, others soul-searched and George Galloway blamed "racists" and "Zionists".
