Ochone ochone!

Woe is me, all is lost, we've had a wee bad poll and the world is coming to an end. Aye, right!


Jason Allardyce's piece in the Sunday Times has the SNP only up by 2 points since 2007, only a point ahead of our nearest challengers, and Labour has crept ahead by a couple of points in the Additional Member vote. It's leading to apocalyptic headlines like "Labour overtakes SNP in new Scottish poll" - how far we've come recently that such news should seem worthy of a headline, and how much further given that it's not exactly the whole story.


It might be interesting when we get the full results. I wonder why the ST never put up the full Scottish results at the same time as publication which it did with the UK results - I'm assuming the London political editor thought it was a good innovation - which it is. If you strip Scotland out of the UK results you get:

Con 44%
Lab 30%
LD 17%
oth 8%

Hmmmmmmm....

Mind how you go.
