Will the SNP walk it, or have Scotland got fed up with all their supposed schenanigans?

Is this a place where Labour can have some good news for a change?

Dunbarton that is normally conservative has tactically voted for labour to keep the SNP out, otherwise it's mostly the same

Labour have completely shot themselves in the foot, telling voters to tactically vote conservative wont go down well.

How would that work? If they are normally Tory, wouldn't it make more sense for Labout supporters to vote Tory to keep out the SNP?

Labour voters are more likely to turn their vote to SNP, if this happens labour votes drop SNP votes rise, so to make up the shortfall the conservative voters go Labour. It stops the SNP getting in and therefore reduces their attempt for Scottish independence, which conservatives don't want.

Dumbarton was a Labour seat, with tiny majority, so Conservatives were told to vote labour to ensure the SNP wouldn’t win.

Labour, Lib Dem’s and the Conservatives are all Unionist - The Greens and SNP are Independent parties.

Many labour supporters support Independence, but don’t like the SNP.
