Surely its only downhill for the SNP from here, and uphill for SLab.
Why?
Because the SNP could well.be more or less maxed out at the moment. Of course, uphill only remains a return to something resembling relevance for SLab, not challenging for power, at least not next year.
Paradoxically, I think a big SNP win next May might be the best thing for SLab in the long term.
I agree, the next term in government will most likely be somewhat traumatic for the SNP, perhaps giving another party a chance at being in government in 2026 (though I'm not convinced SLab will have a miraculous resurrection given the current party leadership).
