This result sends a clear message to Labour and the SNP: their war on North Sea oil and gas must end.
The SNP have a brass neck after betraying the Acorn project by only releasing £5m of the promised £80m they pledged more than four years ago.
We said at the start of this campaign that it is a referendum on the oil and gas industry and the people of Aberdeen have give a resounding answer that we back the oil and gas industry.
A lot of voters across Aberdeen see this whole episode as making the SNP not trustworthy.
