THE latest Survation poll shows only 2% of Scots voters completely trust Labour leader Ed Miliband and also suggests Labour are set to lose all but five of their 40 Scottish MPs in May’s Westminster election. Support for the SNP for the coming Westminster election stands at 45.8%, compared to 23.9% support for Labour – a 21.9% lead over Labour, and the largest SNP lead in Westminster voting intentions ever recorded by Survation. The same poll also puts support for the SNP for Holyrood at 50% in the constituency vote and 40.6% in the regional vote, while support for Labour stands at 23% in the constituency vote and 20.3% in the regional vote. Commenting on the results, SNP Westminster Leader Angus Robertson MP said: “It reflects all recent surveys in underlining the strength of the SNP vote, and is a further demonstration that Labour and the other Westminster parties are facing a major backlash in Scotland. “With a majority of people in Scotland saying that they distrust Ed Miliband, David Cameron and Nick Clegg, this poll is a disaster for all three Westminster parties. #the45andrising #indyscot
