    Nae luck!!
    Almost 100% of seats available with 54% of the vote compared to both Labour or Tories getting roughly 45% of seats available with 28% of the vote. They are not far off being the same

    A new TNS poll in Scotland shows no sign of the gap between the SNP and Labour decreasing, with voter intention as follows:

    SNP 54% (+2), Lab 22% (-2), Con 13% (0), LD 6% (0), Green 2% (-1), UKIP 2% (+1)


    That would translate to 57 out of 59 seats for the SNP.

    Yes, these 200 workers are FAR more newsworthy than the 5000 or so displaced from LBG by Tier2s and ICTs.

    It's sadly obvious that they will never shut up on the subject at least as long as it looks like the SNP may well exert considerable influence in Westminster.

    Watch the videos and see the difference between Nicola and your normal Westminster politician. Nick Clegg is still talking about Alex Salmond for goodness sake.

    not being funny but in the grand scheme of things Scotland is irrelevant.

    really people.

    what policies if any would SNP get through?

    only the ones that Labour want, or Tories, they or she, wont be able to get through ANY of their own as they are the minority.

    Only if deals are done will they stand any chance and then Labour will never push through anything detrimental to the UK as this would be suicide.

    Trident forget it, both Labour and Tories want it.

    24 billion on NHS no way Jose

    etc etc

    why all this fuss from Cameron, I will tell you why its because they have not got any policies worth shouting about..
