I've found an interesting site about Scottish politics. It's clearly run by an SNP supporter, which most of the comment and opinion makes clear, but there's an interesting collation of Scottish opinion poll data, including this page which gives details of polls for the Scottish Parliament elections coming up next month, with polls going back to the last Scottish election in May 1999.

The interesting part comes in the recent polling data that shows a very interesting trend of support for both the Scottish Socialist Party and Scottish Green Party growing (mostly at the expense of Labour and the Conservatives - the Scottish Nationalists seem to be holding about the same amount and there's a slight increase in the Liberal Democrat vote). But, if the election comes out close to this (though what effects the war might have on voting haven't yet been seen in any polls) there would be the prospect of a wholly new 'rainbow' coalition for Scotland's government - SNP, Lib Dem, SSP and Green MSPs combined makes for an overall majority in the Parliament. That's going to make for some interesting politics. However, I'm not sure how likely it is as many Scottish Liberal Democrats are more (small 'c') conservative than the rest of the party and the thought of going into a coalition with the SNP and SSP might not appeal to them. However, that might be outweighed by the prospect of putting Labour out of power in Scotland.

I was trying to find some polling data for the Welsh Assembly elections, but there doesn't seem to be anything readily obvious on the web. If you have seen anything, please let me know!
