THE SNP would command a majority at Holyrood and the Greens would return a record number of MSPs after a fresh Scottish parliament election, new polling has suggested.
Figures from polling firm Ipsos Mori show that pro-independence parties would return a combined 82 seats – 10 more than now – in a new Holyrood vote. This would give them 17 seats more than the 65 needed to hold a majority in the 129-seat Scottish parliament.
The SNP would return 67 MSPs, meaning they would have a majority in the chamber even without the Greens’ support, according to seat projections from Ballot Box Scotland.
