Labour swept many parliamentary seats in Scotland in 2024, representing a massive improvement in its fortunes in the country.
Now, as The National is reporting:
THE Scottish Greens will overtake Labour at the next Holyrood election, a major new poll has predicted.
The final Scottish Election Study before the Holyrood vote in May predicts a "comfortable" pro-independence majority of SNP and Green MSPs, with Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay's party securing 16% on the regional list.
This is the forecast:
From first to fourth in two years. That's a staggering change, and entirely deserved.
Three things follow.
Binary politics are over in the UK.
The political consensus around the two-party system is broken for good, with both former leading parties heading for extinction.
In the new narrative, we either get fascism or a politics of hope for each person and all the countries on these islands we share.
It's not really a choice, is it?

Given the surge of voting for Reform, at least the election system in Scotland will ensure the number of seats reflects the actual proportional voting intentions of people. However, in the FPTP system for Westminster at the next general election we are in danger of having a disproportional number of Reform MPs which will be a disaster! For me as a citizen of Scotland we have to get independence so we can get out of the disaster that will be a Reform Westminster.
