Lib Dem hopes

Apparently the SNP is feeling good about the prospect of retaining its two seats in the forthcoming European elections (assuming they take place) and even taking a third from the Tories. Is this overoptimistic?

True, they’ll likely keep the two they have. But many No voting Remainers are heartily sick of Nicola Sturgeon using our pro-eu votes to attempt to legitimise staging a second independence referendum.

The Lib Dem tradition runs deeply in Scotland and their strong pro-eu stance was rewarded in recent local elections elsewhere in the UK. Could we see the Lib Dems picking up a seat in the EU elections rather than a third going to the nationalists?
