SNP were slightly down in the latest polls but they look like they’ll get most seats quite comfortably. Considering the abject poverty and state of some of Glasgow in particular it’s no surprise that there will be a change of government.
The establishment want to remain part of the union obviously which means that the entire media are urging people not to vote for the SNP but still they’ll win.
SNP are 2/9 with Ladbrokes to win most seats which looks like it will be a formality. They’re 1/6 with Paddy.
Polls tomorrow are showing a much narrower lead for the SNP over Labour. All the negative coverage might be getting to the public or it might just be the media being manipulative and publishing polls to undermine SNP.
Either way I still think they’ll win the most seats.
This is turning into a bit of a farce. There were council elections and national assembly elections held simultaneously in Scotland. The council elections were PR and so needed to be numbered 1…2…3 etc. in order of preference. The national assembly elections were first past the post, meaning an X in the appropriate box on the page.
Loads of people got confused and put an X instead of a number and vice-versa. Over 100,000 ballots have been spoiled they reckon which is 5/10% of the votes.
