This is using First past the post, so quite impressive.

The scottish votes will be counted in a few hours time, by machine,
since they're using Single transferable vote (as they elect multiple
candidates from each ballot, usually 4, but sometimes only 3)

I'll be leaving the liveblog running, to help cover things

I also ran an impromptu poll and it came out overwhelmingly in favour of
me doing this (or attempting to) again for the next set of elections,
which I believe to be both the Greek national elections, and the German
state of Schleswig-Holstein on Sunday.
If anyone wants to help out and participate, email me DIRECT
