I reckon Labour will win Southside by about 2500. Sturgeon probably still has a reasonable personal vote.

Glasgow Kelvin, (tricky because a green stood last time) but……..

Lab 11000
SNP 9000
LD 2500
Con 2000

It does look as though realistically it’s a coin toss between Lib Dem and SNP as to who finishes second in this seat. In terms of John B Dick’s question on tactical voting, those kind of considerations are pretty meaningless in a seat as safe as this. Any non-Labour voter might as well just vote in line with their beliefs, recognising that it matters very little under such circumstances whether a candidate losing by a distance comes second, third, fourth or whatever.

John B Dick:

Since I assume your question is about who is best placed to defeat Labour then – being objective – it is hard to know whether the LibDems or SNP will come second. According to the latest opinion polls (in Scotland) the LibDems are at about the same level that they were in 2005, which would suggest that they will get about 20% of the vote in this seat. But the SNP are also up a bit, and would probably poll around 17%.

At the moment my guess is that the LibDems will come second (but it will be close between LibDem and SNP). However, Labour is way out in front. I can’t imagine circumstances in which this seat will change hands.

Somebody I know who lives in this constituency wants to vote against the incumbent, but not Conservative.

Who has the best chance of taking the seat, LibDem or SNP?

The LibDems are on the way up UK wide and the SNP are doing well too, but which would disaffected Labour voters go for?

There isn’t much chance of a change is there?
