The SNP will likely lead Edinburgh City Council for a further five years, with a coalition deal with the Greens a possible outcome, a pollster has forecast.
Allan Faulds, who runs the election monitoring and polling site Ballot Box Scotland, spoke to the Local Democracy Reporting Service ahead of next week's local elections to discuss what could happen in Edinburgh.
He said Labour's position to reject another coalition with the SNP or any deal with the Conservatives, combined with projected gains for the Greens as seen at last year's Holyrood election, means a SNP/Green administration in the next term is a 'distinct possibility'.
