SNP majority was only 195 in 2017.

If it's before the Scottish elections that could be quite a boost for the winner. |

I believe this is the first-ever Westminster by-election where the SNP are the defending party. Not a constituency I know very well but I'll try writing up an Almanac entry for it at some point.

An SNP MP abandoning his constituents for an office of the crown? Disgraceful! |

I've gone for an SNP hold. I think that's most likely at this stage as I don't think Sarwar's momentum is enough to take it.

I can’t read the article as it’s either paywalled or I need to register.
What’s the issue with the date? Is it guaranteed to be the week before May 6th? Assuming the SNP think they can hold this they’d want to call it for that week.

No option for either of Galloway's parties?

If this is a Conservative gain, I shall surgically transition. Into what? |
