Well, she's got 2012 and the two 2014 byelections to choose from as a baseline.
Wonder if she may have picked the one that shows the biggest change in share ...

[Tony Otim]

SNP candidate was elected at Stage 4, meaning that they didn't get enough Green transfers to break 50% (hardly surprising given the proportion of transfers that would have been required). I'd guess (details of transfers not published yet) that Green transfers would probably have pushed the indy ahead of the Conservatives and that Conservative transfers then pushed the SNP over quota, but we'll see when the details come out.

[Merseymike]

It's unusual to see a Highland election which us a oarty affair. Traditionally they haven't been - at least overtly so
