    Is it my imagination or has the SNP vote stagnated and not improved since the referendum?

    47%???? I had it in my mind they would get more than 50%.

    Early days right enough, but if it holds, it tells me the referendum result would be the same if held again.

    Yes, i think it is up, as i just looked at the 2011 results and they had 44%, but i still thought given the momentum after the referendum they would have got more than 50%.

    If a second Indepdendence referendum was held now the result would be the same. That's not news to anybody.

    As you say very early days. Still managing to near enough be sitting on 48%

    The results labour are getting here are showing what the referendum has done to politics in this country.

    The referendum result would not be massively different but it's not surprising. It was only just over 2 years ago. Not a long time at all.

    Whoever is going to bail them out, and seeing as the Tory government gave them a bailout package after the oil crisis then who knows
