Which party will win the Glenrothes by-election on November 6th 2008?
This one came down to the wire but the SNP have now conceded defeat:
'Lindsay Roy is the new MP. But Glenrothes is Gordon Brown’s triumph. Two months ago it looked as if this contest could seal the end for Mr Brown. Now it has confirmed a truly remarkable comeback. Labour’s general election majority was halved but, because of the way expectations had developed, this result had all the feeling of a landslide.'

Why not read the TOP SECRET McCRONE OIL REPORT that Westminster does not want you to read. Available at http://www.oilofscotland.org
The McCrone Report was written in 1974 however this report into Scotland Oil Rich Economy is as relevant as it in the 1970's when it was classified top secret. If Scotland's Oil is of no relevance why in 1979 did Labour overturned a democratic decision when 52% of Scots and 43 to 19 Scottish MP's democratically voted for a devolved Scottish Government. Westminster made political history by saying NO twice.

Bookies odd have SNP has the favorite to win this
(blame the election night hangover!)
SNP think they're definitely going to win it. "SNP campaigners reported a surge in support on the ground, particularly with undecided voters or former Labour supporters switching their backing to the Nationalists in the key seat."
