I think this shows how the "bloc" model we increasingly think of in relation to Westminster politics doesn't map onto Scotland - do Labour voters see themselves in a unionist anti-SNP bloc with Reform (no), or a left-wing anti-Reform bloc with the SNP (not exactly convincing)
Whitburn and Blackburn (West Lothian) by-election transfers, votes at final head-to-head stage:
Reform UK: 1411 (38.4%)
SNP: 1387 (37.7%)
Didn't Transfer: 877 (23.9%)
Just 24 votes in it after transfers!
