Re: Scotland & Tories
@Mage
Total of ALL opposition to SNP 40.7%. Tories only got 13 seats, 22% of seats on their Unionism platform and Sturgeon / SNP managed to hold on to 35. Yet Indy ref was 55% for unionism. So you might claim support for Scottish Independence has gone from 45% to 59.
Since IndyRef(n) is a referendum, it is counted on votes, not seats, so your argument for an SNP win is invalid.
SNP (For) votes = 989,726
Tory,Labour,LibDem (Against) = 1,654,017
Yes = 38%
No = 62%
A wider gap than the 55%/45% of IndyRef1, and a total loss for the SNP. But never let facts get in the way of some good SNP spin.
