A NEW poll has predicted the outcome of each of Scotland's 57 Westminster seats up for grabs at the next General Election.
After the recent boundary changes, that stripped Scotland of two MPs, several seats in Scotland have changed names or geographical areas, and the latest YouGov poll, the most extensive survey undertaken by the firm in five years, has given the first projection for each constituency up for grabs in 2024.
The huge survey of over 14,000 people in the UK predicts a huge wipeout for the Tories and a majority for Labour, but Scotland, as always, has a slightly different picture ahead.

The SNP is almost neck and neck with Scottish Labour. YouGov predicts the pro-independence party is set for 25 seats, while 24 seats could be picked up by Scottish Labour, an increase of 22.
The majority of Scottish Labour seats predicted by the poll are gained from the SNP in the central belt, with others in Fife and Na h-Eileanan an Iar.
The Scottish Tories are also set to lose three of their seven seats, two to the SNP and one to Labour.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
