Trebling their seats meant harvie wins, by a country mile on the criteria you used. The snp are more dominant electorally in sotland than virtually any party in any western outcry, and they just cleanedup yet aagain. They are so far ahead of all their competitors you, an combine their votes ad just about get to the snp tally.
Yet out of the what 6 winners only one was snp. If that was genuinely reflective at most only one wouldn't have been snp. From a paper that strongly opposes independence btw. Funking mundell Baillie and lamont got awards ffs. It's not about a single voter changing their minds 7ts creating a narrative and pat of an overall process.
You hardly need to be paranoid after the last five years to think the press is actively trying to prevent Scottish independence as any objective person can see it obviously is and has been doing that every in collusion with each other and unionist parties every day for years.
