Too many unknowns. That said the results from down south overnight are quote worrying as well.
JRitchie May 2021 3:16pm, 7 May 2021 2,372 posts	Quote Pin JRitchie Perhaps the best thing SNP could then do is focus on delivering highly effective Scottish Government policies to demonstrate how local control provides noticable benefits to Scottish population over those same areas managed in England. Don't think I've heard much of that in this election. I've heard a lot about Boris and how Scotland needs more powers and a second referendum but not much else.
JRitchie May 2021 3:18pm, 7 May 2021 2,373 posts	Quote Pin JRitchie Early days but looks like SNP vote holding up where it needs to but with some swing away and a lot of tactical voting (Banff and Buchan was pretty close - clearly the fishermen and women have mixed feelings). Its going to be interesting.

HappyG(rrr) May 2021 3:59pm, 7 May 2021 38,622 posts	Quote Pin HappyG(rrr) I thought there was a central Edinburgh seat that was marginal? Was that one of Labour's few constituency seats?
Bazoaxe May 2021 4:02pm, 7 May 2021 19,656 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Looks like it was labour by c1k votes and now SNP by 1k votes - historically been close but not SNP Edin Central was Ruth Davidson by c600 votes I think and likley to go to SNP I would guess
