SNP odds tumble across Scotland
Published:

Take Falkirk, for example. When we opened up betting on the seat back in June, the SNP were 7/4 to win it. Now they are an astonishingly short 1/3 favourite. This is a seat with a Labour majority just short of 8,000 votes and is in an area where NO had a fairly comfortable win in the indyref.

Interestingly though, there are still only three Labour held seats that the SNP are now favourites in; Falkirk, Dundee West and Ochil & Perthshire South. They are a long way behind Labour in most constituencies and it is going to take a political earthquake for them to make the sort of breakthrough that these polls are suggesting – which isn’t to say it won’t happen.
