Nicola Sturgeon's party is predicted to win 50 seats
THE SNP are on course for a comfortable win at next month’s election, with a new poll from YouGov putting Nicola Sturgeon’s party on 42%, up from 37% in 2017.
The survey will make grim reading for Richard Leonard, predicting a collapse in Labour’s support from 27% to just 12%. That puts them in fourth place, behind the Lib Dems and on course for their worst result in 100 years.
The Tories have also lost votes, down seven points to 22%, while the LibDems are on 13%, up five points.
According to the Electoral Calculus website that would give Nicola Sturgeon's SNP 50 seats, the Tories 3, the LibDems 5 and Labour just 1.
The Greens, who took just 4% in the poll, would be left empty handed.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
