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.

And who would replace him? They have no heavy hitters and most of them are tainted with the Bliar/Brown disaster.
Vera
Well he should have bloody well moved to Russia, not taken all that this country has to offer then c–p on it.
Vera
It’s all that bloody finger wagging he does – makes you want to take a swipe at him.

The fixation with spin against the SNP is a major part of it

With the coming lowest voter turnout in UK history in 2015, Labour will not rule in Westminster, having far fewer MPs than the Tories in England, so the Tories will continue to be in charge, You need at least 326 MPs to pass a bill into law in parliament.
The SNP are saying they could unilterally become independent. They would anyway with Devo Max as so much would end to be ruled from London.
The Scottish Greens could win the 4 or 5 seats that Labour think are shoe-ins in Scotland.
Once the tens of millions within the 70 per who do not vote in the UK learn that The Greens will not leave people starving without benefit, in or out of work, and
pensioners short of a state pension with
NIL STATE PENSION FOR LIFE
for women born from 1953 and men born from 1951,
as is being done by the biggest con in UK history of the flat rate pension,
that is not more but far far less or no food money at all forever in old age,
then we can get a majority socialist government that will save lives from starvation and freezing come each winter.

It may seem odd, but Labour would do well to cut itself in half and sitting Labour MPs who are still socialist join The Greens, and Miliband, balls et all join UKIP.
When The Greens put on billboards how much new claimant pensioners will end up with the abolition of the state pension for them, and offer all the 20 per cent poorest of income a guaranteed food money, then all other parties are history anyway.
