Europe Decides

The result of today’s Scottish Parliament Election could turn on the decision of the estimated 20% of voters who are still undecided. According to newspaper reports this morning, the outcome of the election is likely to be decided by the one in five of the likely voters who remain undecided, 50% of whom have previously supported Labour.

Over the past few days, all of the parties have made a final push to win over this crucial group. In particular, senior Labour Party figures yesterday made a `come home’ appeal to those people who previously supported them.

We will know early tomorrow, if this appeal has been successful and whether enough of these voters have returned home to secure a third election victory for Labour.
