Of course, in real life, support for the SNP collapsed in 1979 and didn't really return as a major force until devolution was achieved in 1999. The Nationalists were also profoundly anti-EEC at the time and Scotland delivered the largest "No" votes in the 1975 referendum. How times change...

I think Labour this time to keep in mind the actual increase in support it got in Scotland in '79 as contrasted with the rest of the country. An Assembly during Thatcherism will be extremely interesting.
