In the volatile politics of 2026, it is probably best to prepare for a range of possible scenarios, writes BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell.

Lots of people concerned about Reform, how can tactical voting keep them out? SNP/Green favoured by many for this task. But it will vary locally. And it will be hard to deny them list seats in particular. Big one tomorrow folks for the future of the indy movement, the future of Britain (Welsh result looking too close to call too), and the futute of EU integration.

Remember, no counts til Friday too, so this is slow motion drama for us this week

    I predict that no party will score a majority, a very boring man will be FM and yet again there’s ‘no mandate’ for indyref.

    On the plus side we finally see the back of Douglas Ross so that’s something to be thankful for.

    All that will happen is the Tory vote will collapse and some of those will go to Reform, thus reform will say it was a massive victory having started from zero while not actually changing the balance of power in Holyrood.

    It was far more interesting when it looked like a real fight between 5 parties. Now it will be SNP with a handful of the others, greens might benefit from collapse in labour support but only if independance is somewhat sidelined.
