- The separatist Alba Party, founded and lead by former SNP First Minister Alex Salmond, would fail to win any seats based on current polling. There had been concerns in the SNP that Alba could split the separatist vote, resulting in the SNP failing to win a majority, but it seems at present the upstart party has not gained enough traction to cause such an outcome.
