    Default How will Scotland vote in the 2010 GE

    The SNP are the Governing party in the Scottish Parliament but at the moment only hold 7 out of the 59 Scottish Westminster seats.

    The First Minister of Scotland and the leader of the SNP Alex Salmond MSP MP has said that he predicts that the SNP will gain a block of 20 MPs and possibly be larger than Labour in Scotland regarding Scottish Westminster seats.

    Is it possible? I would like to think so.......at least there's no chance of a BNP seat in Scotland!

    Unfortunatly it looks like it will be the case that the SNP will gain the majority of Scottish Westminister seats, another pro-EU left wing party, not particuarly what i want.

    I really can't see the SNP winning a majority (30+) of Scottish Westminster seats, certainly not this time round.

    The opinion polls put them ahead in terms of the popular vote, but their support tends to be evenly spread. Labour support, on the other hand, is more concentrated, so has a large (ish) number of safe seats.

    The SNP will certainly increase their seat tally, but to about 10-15 I should say. Alex Salmond's target of 20 is possibly a wee bit ambitious, but achievable. I reckon the SNP could emerge as the largest party in Scotland, but only by a whisker.

    Only UKIP will serve Scots. All of the other (main) parties are there to govern and to rule and to serve the European Commission's agenda.

    That's the funniest thing I've read today!
    Wales' own 'Buffonish' bufton contribution to the country is a demand that the Welsh legislature be disolved and we be centrally run from our masters in England!

    Do you really think the Scottish people will not notice the fundimental flaw with UKIPs message that being run 'as one' by one out of touch, corrupt, union parliament (based a different country) is good.... but being run 'as one' from an out of touch, corrupt, union parliament (based another different country) is bad?

    Surely... if you believe the soverigty of a country should be held by the citizens of that nation and not by a union parliament sitting outside that nation's borders 'acting on the people's behalf'... you should actually support the SNP.
    a monstrous carbuncle!

    The SNP may not be perfect, but they're the only party who, by definition, have the Scottish people's best interests at heart.
