Labour are set to lose all but five of their 40 Scottish MPs in the General Election, making it all but impossible to oust David Cameron from Downing Street, according to a new poll.
Labour are set to lose all but five of their 40 Scottish MPs in the General Election, making it all but impossible to oust David Cameron from Downing Street, according to a new poll.
The Poll by Survation for the Daily Record also found that just 2 per cent of voters completely trust Ed Miliband.
In contrast to Labour’s woes, the poll has the Scottish National Party riding high and going from six seats to 52 next year.
According to the poll of 1001 Scots, the SNP would win 45.8 per cent of the popular vote in Scotland, compared to Labour’s 23.9 per cent. The Conservatives would finish on 16.7 per cent and the Lib Dems on 6.1 per cent.
If this were replicated at the General Election it would mean the SNP winning 52 seats, Labour five, and the Conservatives and Lib Dems one each.
Further evidence suggests that Labour’s support for the No vote in the recent Scottish independence referendum has damaged their standing with Yes voters.
In more bad news for the Labour leader, Ed Miliband now has a worse personal rating in Scotland than David Cameron. Only 2 per cent of those polled completely trust Miliband, while a further 7 per cent mostly trust him and 20 per cent slightly trust him. In contrast, 59 per cent of Scots either mostly or completely distrust him.
Two per cent completely trust Cameron but 12 per cent mostly trust him.

In which case, it would be better for us not to govern. I say that genuinely. In such circumstances it would be better to have another election.

Can you cite evidence of this supposed fascist-like behaviour? The YES campaign was entirely peaceful. Contrast that with the Unionist thugs who ran amok in Glasgow attacking people and performing nazi salutes.
As evidence:

Scots blew their chance to go free – but lets give the English a chance for independence – a yes from us would effectively give SNP what they want

Well, there were Scottish people on TV who related how they were scared to say they were against the SNP – which has a history of supporting fascism (Arthur Donaldson) – for fear of reprisals. Of course it was on “English” TV, so probably faked.
The Nazi salutes were from No supporters mocking the SNP stormtroopers who were the ones that were threatening people.
PS
The comments re Scotland having to apply to join the EU, and use the euro, came from Barroso, Juncker, Rajoy and others.
