A few points:SNP won more transfer votes from left-wing parties (SSP/Greens) than Labour.
Labour won more transfer votes from right-wing parties (UKIP/Con) than SNP.
Who were those three people who voted Socialist then voted Conservative before Labour and SNP!?
By-elections in Scottish councils make no sense - SNP hold the seat despite starting 46% behind Labour.
(I know why it's an SNP hold, FTR
).
