Queen Nicola

Upgrade from Princess last week

The headline and photo editors from The Times (Scotland) decided to have a bit of fun.

To think just over a week ago Nicola was only a Princess, now she is a Queen. If the polls are accurate the coronation may be sometime tomorrow morning.

The last three polls seem to be suggesting that the SNP are maintaining their lead.

• Panelbase
  SNP 48% (NC), Lab 26% (-1), Con 14% (-2), LD 5% (+1), UKIP 3% (NC), SG 2% (NC)
• YouGov
  SNP 48% (-1), Lab 28% (+2), Con 14% (-1), LD 7% (NC), UKIP 1% (-1), SG 1% (NC)
• Survation
  SNP 48.9% (-2.3), Lab 24.8% (-0.8), Con 15.5% (+1.2), LD 5.9% (+0.5), SG 2.4% (+1), UKIP 2% (NC)

At the UK level Ashcroft Polls have published their final snapshot which reports Con 33%, Lab 33%, LD 10%, UKIP 11% and GRN 6%. Ooh, it's tight!
