WE have just edged past the two-month mark since the UK Supreme Court ruled that the Scottish Parliament cannot hold an independence referendum without a Section 30 order. In those two months, we have had four polls asking Scots how they would vote in a General Election treated by the SNP, and other pro-independence parties, as a "de facto referendum".
Today’s FindOutNow poll for The National suggests that if the SNP fights the next General Election as a de facto referendum on independence, most Scottish voters (52%) would vote for the SNP. A further 2% would vote for the Scottish Greens, and 0.4% would vote for the Alba Party.
