WESTER ROSS
We have cast our postal votes for the Conservative and after mature reflection voted Solely Conservative as no transfers made any sense to us. I know others who have done the same. Why are some of you so sure the Ind (former LD) will pick up so many transfers? Her being Ind and of onetime LD persuasion? I confess I have little idea how this will go but I hope the supporters of the major players don't indicate any transfers.

If you are typical (but then I don't suppose you are) this could give the seat to the SNP, which is my forecast anyway.
