Summary

THE SNP would lose power if a Scottish election was held tomorrow, according to a new YouGov poll. The survey suggests Labour would be the largest party by four to six seats, even though the SNP would win the most votes. The findings are a blow to Alex Salmond, who has only 18 months until the next Holyrood vote.

And according to Weber Shandwick's website Scotlandvotes. com, the voting intention figures would give Labour 45 Holyrood seats to the SNP's 41. The Conservatives would get 20 seats (up three), the Liberal Democrats 18 (up two) and the Greens five (up three).
