SNP's Edinburgh Seats in Jeopardy

0:00It's April 21st. This is Edinburgh News Today, powered by AI. A fresh poll for more in common is shaking up the Holy Root election race set for next month. It predicts the SNP losing key Edinburgh seats to rivals, with labor snatching Edinburgh essential from culture secretary Angus Robertson, the Greens. Toppling Ben McPherson in Edinburgh, Northeastern, and Leith, and Lib Dems grabbing the new Edinburgh Northern constituency. The numbers look tight in those spots. In central, labor's James Dawg-Layche edges out, Robertson 28% to 26, Greens at 20. Northeastern and Leith is even closer. Greens at 26, labor 25, SNP 24. Northern Gives, Lib Dems, San Dijkstra, Downey 27, to Esni's 20. Overall, Esni pulls as the largest party with 56 seats, down 7 from last time. Where reform surges to 22, beating labor 17, Lib Dems 14, Tories 12, and Greens 8.

1:01That's a big shift, putting pressure on the usual order. Two Lothian seats, mid-Lothian North and Bascade, show dead heats between a SNP and reform, both at 29% with SNP barely hanging on. On the Edinburgh and Lothian's Eastlist, reform takes three seats, Tories 2 others won each. Campaigns are buzzing. Labour says the poll cuts through rivals' noise, while Greens boasts record-boater turnout, and strong showings across Edinburgh, feeling confident. Despite the competition, this race is wide open.
