ri Alban Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 So what's happened, have labour voters went to SNP? Last election % SNP 37 ST 28 SL 27 SLd 7 If the ST keep 28%, it sounds like more than half of the SL vote has passed to the SNP. I hope for a laugh, Jo Swinson loses her seat. And it sounds like some top Tories have gone too, as a reshuffle is on its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question. I would have thought that they would go to Westminster as an independent (because essentially you vote for the person), but as the polling paper said that they were representing the SNP, this could be seen as a misrepresentation to the voters. I wonder if this has happened before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
