Two days ago, I noted:
From Find Out Now on 4 December 2024, the UK figures put Labour in third place with 23%, behind Reform at 24% and the Cons at 26%. The Scottish sub-set of only 118, has SNPv39%, Labour 21%, Cons 13%, Reform, Greens and Lib Dems at 8%. If repeated in May 2026, this could give SNP an overall majority. Early days I know but still good to get this kind of wee boost. https://findoutnow.co.uk/blog/voting-intention-4th-dec-2024/
The above 18% lead is much larger than previous sub-polls and, more so, than in ‘full’ Scottish polls. However, the latter, while having more reliable sample sizes of 1-2k as opposed to 1-2 hundred, have been criticised for their samples being weighted to reflect the 2104 referendum result. This may be biasing their results in favour of Unionist parties.
I had not spotted, the More in Common poll on 29 November to 2 December, with 102 Scots, which also has a much bigger SNP lead than in earlier polls, at 15% over Labour.
Con 17%, Labour 19%, Lib Dems 12%, Reform 13%, SNP 34% and Greens on only 4%: https://www.moreincommon.org.uk/media/fnshtp12/december-2-voting-intention.xlsx
I know, I know but it’s not nothing and morale matters.

Despite the SNP lead they still haven’t recovered the lost votes and alternative parties have made no progress, that is very worrying for independence. The target appears to be the majority of votes at this rate we will not get there, something really really needs to change.

While it’s encouraging to see the S.N.P increasing their lead in the polls, if they are to be believed, exactly how does this effect our chances of becoming an Independent nation once again? Despite being an member of the S.N.P, I would say almost nil, unless this poll translates into action designed to facilitate another Independence Referendum. Surely that is still the primary aim of my party, isn’t it? And exactly how would that be achieved? The British Establishment won’t let that happen without one hell of a struggle, and they will employ every dirty trick in the book, and then some more, to prevent us escaping their iron grip. So, assuming we have a majority of Independence supporting parties in the next Scottish Parliament, exactly how are they going to put in motion a plan to achieve our aim? How?

People need to vote for it. Vote out the opposition. Do not vote unionist and turn out to vote. There will be no opposition. EU/UN principles. Self determination and self governance when people vote for it. A higher turn out. Less people who support Independence voting unionist. They will not get Independence voting unionist.
