A DE facto referendum must be contested as a Yes alliance, it has been claimed, after a survey suggested Scotland’s pro-indy parties would account for at least 50% of the vote at Holyrood.
A Panelbase poll found the vote share for the SNP, the Scottish Greens and Alba would amount to 51% of the Scottish Parliament constituency vote – and 50% of the regional vote.
The research, commissioned by the Alba Party, comes as the UK Supreme Court considers whether the Scottish Parliament has the power to hold an independence referendum.
