Bizarrely, given that it’s currently either Christmas Day or Boxing Day (depending on your point of view on the significance of midnight), there’s a poll out. It’s in the Sunday Mail, and so far all I know is what’s contained on the front page of the paper, which is very little. No indication of which polling company was used (although I suspect it might have been Survation, because the Sunday Mail have used them before), and there’s no sign of the full voting intention numbers. The only thing that’s revealed is that the Scottish Tories are projected to be on course for a 1997-style total wipeout at Westminster, which is suggested to be as a result of the fallout from the Downing Street party scandal. Hopefully there might be independence numbers in the poll, because I’d like to know if the scandal has had any effect on those. But the Tory vote share must be low by recent standards, because a seats projection of zero is a long way from the norm.
Boxing Day poll shows Scottish Tories on course for a 1997-style total wipeout at Westminster
I’ll update this post with the poll results as and when they emerge.

Neale Hanvey, the Alba Party MP for Kirkcaldy & Cowdenbeath, has an extended opinion piece in Lesbian and Gay News about the three recent opinion polls on GRA reform – namely the Scot Goes Pop / Panelbase poll from October, the Murray Blackburn Mackenzie / Survation poll from November, and the very recent For Women Scotland / Panelbase poll, all of which showed overwhelming public opposition to legally-recognised gender self-identification.
