The SNP and the Lib-Dems
Looking at the excellent Alba Publishing website list of the new Scottish Westminster seats to be contested at the next general election, and their ‘notional’ results for 2001 based on the same borders, it is interesting to see that there are no SNP Vs. Liberal Democrat contests.
In other words, there are no seats where the first and second contenders are SNP and Liberal Democrat, or vice versa. The difference between the two is largely territorial.
Looking to 2007 and beyond, it may be worth speculating on the future orientation of the Liberal Democrats. Will they continue to prop up Labour? Would they support more devolution? Would they support holding a referendum on independence?
SNP strategists please note!
