The Scottish polling is too uniform, and too strong in one direction, for me to be very sceptical.AnatolyKasparov wrote:I remain a tad sceptical of the Scottish polling, but if the SNP *do* get a (near) clean sweep next month then I think a PM Miliband could do worse than give Scotland FFA and be done with it. Let's see how well Nat support holds up when they, finally, can't blame everybody but themselves for *everything*
What are the odds, I wonder, on Labour winning a majority of English/Welsh seats whilst missing out on an OM due to Scotland? Might be worth a punt, tbh.
On FFA, I'd *love* it if we gave the Nats that, but Salmond is far too canny too accept it.
I am minded to agree with Martin Woolf on Scotland

If it really is the case that Scotland is now just going to keep returning banks of Nats as MPs, the time may have come to reluctantly say goodbye.
