Alba Party Polling

[danieldwilliam]

3% with margin of error of +/- 3% could be % or %.

Firmly in 0-1 seats territory.

Gut feel says this will go up a bit as the majority of people who are not obsessively paying attention to politics become aware of them. As you suggest it might fall back down again if people decide it's a no-hoper.

3% is perhaps the perfect number to reduce independence minded MSP's overall.
