Important to note that this is compared to a poll taken in September, so the change is more pronounced. But interestingly this poll is a lot closer than other recent polls. Could be an outlier, time will tell.
Kind of a shitty election for Scotland this time around,
Ill probably end up voting SNP despite some of their recent setbacks.
Reform seem to have established a base of support in Scotland – they’ve been polling at around the same level as the Greens for both Westminster and Holyrood since about April.
If the party makes it into Westminster and avoid a collapse in UK-wide support over the next two years then there is a fairly strong chance they make it into Holyrood. The post-Brexit Faragist parties seem to be somewhat stronger in Scotland than peak-UKIP was in 2014-16.
What is interesting is that I assume some people went from Labour to Reform.
Obviously they also went from Tory to Reform.
And from a guess I doubt anyone went SNP to Reform.
That should worry Labour a bit. A good run from Farage, and Labour could be in a spot of bother.
I don’t think I’ve ever felt so disengaged during an election campaign. If there’s a Green candidate in my area, I’ll vote for them. Otherwise, I’m between SNP and a spoiled ballot.
Realistically, none of the policies I care most about are going to be advanced by this election. The UK is going to continue along its path of insularism and performative cruelty. My one source of solace is going to be seeing high-ranking Tories lose their seats.
Depressing that one in twenty people in Scotland are intending to vote for Farage’s vanity overton-window-pushing corporation.
Cheerio to the corrupt SNP 👋🏻
14 percent of Scottish people have a severe mental disability I see.
However that percentage is much lower than in England, which is no great surprise.
Labour under Starmer will be no good for Scotland. If an example is required look at Wales. True, SNP has blotted the copybook but under current management we still get many advantages over the rest of the UK. NB: this will change under Labour with Liar Starmer as PM!
For what it’s worth, if this was a uniform swing, electoral calculus has Bowie, Ross, Jack (whoever his successor is) and Mundell all losing their seats which would be horrific for the Tories. They’d go down to 1 seat.
I’m not so sure that one left with John Lamont would necessarily be a sure thing – it looks interesting, I don’t think it’s completely out there so suggest this could be somewhere the Lib Dems could target from 3rd and miles behind (they were very strong in this constituency pre 2015).
5% of those polled have sent money to a Nigerian Prince.
Guys guys guys the Lib Dem manifesto is pretty sick
No clue who to vote for here. As a north east O&G worker Labour is pretty much planning to torpedo my job and main asset when Aberdeen goes down the tubes with their crazy policies.
Can’t bring myself to ever vote Tory plus how long have they had now and just continually made things worse.
SNP aren’t exactly my cup of tea after all the corruption shenanigans.

No clue what to do frankly.
Letting Labour get back in is a huge mistake.
