YouGov poll – Tories on the up, Labour beyond salvation

Commenting on the publication of the latest YouGov poll into voting intentions, Annabel Goldie MSP, Scottish Conservative Leader, said:

“This is a very encouraging poll, one which shows that Scotland is not alone in rejecting a Labour Party that is in total, total disarray. On a UK-level it is clear Labour is in meltdown and beyond salvation.

“Labour is not just facing difficulty, it is facing crisis. Nowhere is this more true than in Scotland, where it is divided beyond belief – between Wendy Alexander and Gordon Brown, between Labour MSPs and Labour Scottish MPs.

“The news for Scottish Liberal Democrats is equally depressing. They have fallen from a clear second three years ago to a distant fourth today.

“This is the third YouGov poll since April where the Scottish sample has the Scottish Conservatives above 20%. There are a clutch of seats coming within our grasp, seats that we can win at the next election. Nobody is in any doubt that the Scottish Conservatives are the real opposition in Scotland."
