SNP is a regional party so 4% nationally is a lot more for them.
Kind of surprised the SNP’s numbers didn’t go down TBH, I expected them to come out of this rather badly in light of recent scandals, particularly since a general election would be a fairly good opportunity for Scottish voters to give the ruling party a kick up the backside without actually removing them from power, in much the same way that we use local elections. Glad to see the Lib Dems are going up though, it'll be good to have a counterbalancing force to the Tories in parliament, plus they’re more liberal on social issues which is nice, though they could be a lot better on that score. Still, you’ve gotta take what you can get in Tory Britain.
As I said above this data is useless anyway, people anyways complain about the ruling party but by election time they've crawled back.
Meaningless this far from the elections. But it's possible the tabloids might let Starmer win, he's utterly anodyne to the left so no danger of him endangering any entrenched interests.
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
