You could very well be right.
Those figures are astounding and I'm not sure I believe them. I'm still trying to drag my jaw off the floor!
If they are wrong again the surely pollsters should pack their bags as it would suggest folk just lie to them.0 -

They all should go. Not one decent leader between them.0 -
SNP on 34 would be circa 60% of seats in Scotland - in England the term used to describe any party on that % of seats is "landslide victory"...

What's the adjective for losing a third of parliamentary seats?
I thought they'd be high 40's. If it's 34 you might see a headline 'SNP drubbing in landslide victory'0 -

In Scotland the term used to describe the death of the independence dream!0 -

It's an exit poll.
One of the analysis was they were confident SNP would lose 11 from the poll, but the other 11 were in the balance.
I also heard that only 10 exit poll areas was in Scotland.
In the UK, the Conservatives could still sneak over the line:wall:

2015 was unprecedented.
To get 56 out of 59 (95%) is highly unlikely to be repeated and as such 2015 should not be the benchmark.
Interestingly, in my constituency, I saw a report that the Conservatives had spent 5 times the amount on the election than the SNP.
It's still a little early. The Conservatives could still get over the line.:wall:

It would be called "not being a one-party state" but, you're right, the anti-SNP MSM will have to grumblingly moan that the SNP still "cling on to power in landslide victory".

Not the benchmark but I've said a number of times the SNP peaked in 2015. Yes, it's only an exit poll but until the real results come in I'm going to let it confirm my bias.0 -
