Commenting on the findings, Damian Lyons Lowe, Chief Executive of Survation said:
Despite
showing some improvement for Scottish Labour since the appointment of
Jim Murphy as leader today's results would still result in major gains
for the SNP in Westminster, turning what would be a small workable
majority for UK Labour into a range of uncertain scenarios, some of
which increase the chances of a Conservative / Lib Dem coalition.
Based
on today’s figures, our internal modelling indicates that Labour would
lose 21 of their Scottish seats to the SNP and the Liberal Democrats 9
of their current 11 seats. Removing MPs who do not take up their seats
(speakers & Sinn Fein) any single party or coalition requires 321
seats to have a “working majority” in the House of Commons.
Today’s results would leave Labour alone 31 seats short of this target with 290 Westminster seats and even a coaltion with the Lib Dems - whom we project would have 24 seats - would leave a Labour/Lib Dem coalition 7 seats short of this all important figure of 321.
