IN showing the SNP on 10 seats, the exit poll is towards the lower end of expectations, although the true pessimists among independence supporters…
supporters might even feel a small touch of relief because previous exit polls have produced truly shocking results that were way outside the bounds of what was assumed to be possible.
At the very least, though, the SNP will hope to reach 12 seats for psychological reasons, because that would make it their fourth bestelection result in history, better than October 1974 and thus also better than any result they had prior to their 2015 post-indyref landslide.
The predicted outcome is the sort that in other circumstances might have raised question marks about the future of the SNP leader, but unless John Swinney voluntarily decides to walk away, there won't actually be much pressure on him to go.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
