Regardless of what is going on in the other parts of the UK, the General Election in Scotland is developing into a test of the political will of the electorate.

To the exclusion of all other factors voters will place their votes, either in support of the campaign for independence or conversely with any of the three Unionist parties.

In consequence the landslide victory achieved by the SNP in the last GE cannot realistically be achieved.

Early polling and previous figures gathered by myself suggest seats might change hands, the Tories being the main benefactors:

SNP activists will need to get out in force in the under-noted constituencies otherwise they might be lost.
