East Kilbride Central North (South Lanarkshire) By-Election, 29/08/19

Following Labour’s bruising loss of both their MEPs and a result in the single figures in the European elections plus recent polling doldrums, I’m therefore inclined to say this is the SNP’s contest to lose.

Leith Walk By-Election Result

It was an absolute corker in Edinburgh’s Leith Walk ward for the first City council by-election since Ballot Box Scotland launched. Although it was prompted by a Labour resignation, the SNP had a clear lead in the ward in 2017 which I reckoned stood them in good stead for winning the by-election.

    New Scotland Only Westminster poll, Norstat 27-29 May (vs 27-30 Apr):

    SNP ~ 34% (+5)
    RUK ~ 17% (-1)
    LAB ~ 16% (-3)
    CON ~ 10% (-4)
    GRN ~ 10% (+2)
    LD ~ 9% (-1)

    No Holyrood figures in this (for a mercy from my perspective of "do I have the time"...)

    Peterhead South and Cruden by-election on the 2nd of July has four of the Holyrood parties (no Labour or Green), plus two Independents and the Family party. This could be a very interesting one to watch, given most of the ward is in the Banffshire and Buchan Coast Holyrood constituency...

    As part of the ongoing Ballot Box Scotland crusade against deposits (which has been going on since the project was set up in 2018!), I've made a very, very, VERY simple example of what a signature based system of ballot access could look like instead from a voter's perspective

    SP26: Switching up the System

    Following the most disproportionate result in Holyrood's history, it's high time we started thinking about how to do things differently, and what would be most effective.
