Wouldn't it be deliciously ironic given SLab's SNP obsession at the cost of not campaigning against the Tories if it should fall to the Tories, not SNP?<br /><br />Since the transfers at the moment seem to be from unionist to unionist it is not at all clear that this means the SNP's dominance will fail. With the Greens standing in only a handful of seats us Yessers have only one party to vote for. <br /><br />I say that as someone who did not vote SNP for Holyrood and put them second and third in the council elections. Horses for courses. SNP the only way (Glasgow North possibly excepted) for the GE. <br /><br />Besides I'm in Dundee East, the safest seat in Scotland. It will take a political tsunami of enormous magnitude to unseat him and I don't see one on the horizon. So under FPTP a vote for anyone but Stuart Hosie is a wasted vote.
