what she will probably do as a cabinet - will probably do as a cabinet reshuffle because she has angus robertson very seniorfigure in the snp, he was robertson in the frame again, very senior figure in the snp, he was the leader at westminster. he is back in the snp. and there is absolutely no doubt that he will get a job in a cabinet reshuffle so we will not see old faces but veteran faces in her cabinet, because people like mike russell, who has been a leading figure from the 70s, we will see new faces and certainly new msps because they will be a lot of retire us. the statement _ they will be a lot of retire us. the statement is _ they will be a lot of retire us. the statement is coming very soon. we don't have too long to wait. there's not too long to wait before nicola sturgeon appears. and also, john curtis is with us, who was looking on a great interest in scotland. and we may cut across nicola sturgeon appears. butjust a thought from you on what she will be thinking and reflecting on after this election. we have had the conservatives already saying, she did not do what she wanted to do b

angus - robertson was saying that from the start. tes cast more proportionately. 73 of the seats are four constituencies, and here they are on this map. there is a lilac ballot paperfor the are on this map. there is a lilac ballot paper for the constituency vote. it lists candidates by name and people in scotland can vote for one of them. the outcome is simple, it is first past the post and whoever has the most votes wins and becomes the msp for the constituency. this accounts for 73 seats at holyrood. the other 56 come from a wider electoral regions. there are eight in scotland and they each returned seven msps. it is a peach ballot paper for this one and it contains a list of parties and the names of candidates they would like to become msps. there is one vote in this paper and a cross next to the party or independent candidate. the regional list votes are counted after the outcome of the constituency votes and a formula is applied to the second regional votes that takes into account how well a party has already performed. the syste

angus robertson took the seat.nt and he took it by a country mile. 39% of the vote, eating into the labour share and green chair of the vote. that was crucial in order to get to 65. but then things went wrong because we got to dunbar, and this was the number one target for the snp. look what happened. the labour member increased her majority to 1483. how? is only required a tiny swing. this is how they did it. effectively you saw a unionist tactical vote from the conservatives to the labour party, conservative voters holding their nose in order to keep the snp out and ensure they did not get to the 65. we saw a similar thing happen in dumfriesshire. a small majority was required. the same thing but in the other direction. labour voters held their nose and voted for the conservatives, straight unionist tactical voting to keep the snp out and keep them from getting to 65. this has meant there is now a narrow path because the snp did not win dumfriesshire or dumbarton, there is still a technical narrow path that might

if there is a couple of other big beasts that come into the scottish parliament, like angus robertsonbeen total for dominance you are reminding us of in scotland has been totalfor such dominance you are reminding us of in scotland has been total for such a long time. a lot of people would suggest that came to pass because labour was complacent and they relied on their vote for too long, didn't knock on doors and took voters for granted and it rotted away. there are some parallels perhaps a decade or so behind with what we now see happening in parts of england where labour, perhaps took this vote for granted and conservative candidates like in that astounding win for ben houchen in teesside, saw the opportunity, built an organisation on the ground and are now reaping rewards in very big ways. are now reaping rewards in very big wa s. . . are now reaping rewards in very big wa s. ., ., ., " are now reaping rewards in very big wa s. . . . ~ i ., are now reaping rewards in very big wa s. . . ., ~ ., ., ways. laura, thank you. laura mentioned — ways. laura, thank you. laura mentioned ben _

the snp candidate is angus robertson, the former westminster party leader, taking on scott douglas for labour heartland. at the last election iain gray won, a former scottish labour leader. he is standing transylvania msp will be coming. in 2016 the snp came close to winning, the labour majority is just over 1100 votes and martin whitfield is the candidate, a former mp for the corresponding westminster seat. he looks to be an battle with paul mclennan of the snp. the current mp, kenny macaskill, has defected from the snp to alex salmond's new alba party. on paper that has nothing to do with this election, but could there be a backlash from snp supporters angry that their westminster representative has changed parties without a by—election? on a good day this is the kind of seat labour will hold, but snp could take it where they missed out last time, or could they missed out last time, or could the conservatives take advantage? last but not least, let's look at glasgow southside. unlike the others, this is not marginal that it will see two party leaders go head—to—head, nicola sturgeon
