The Scottish National party is closing in on a historic fourth consecutive victory in the Scottish parliament elections, with the question of whether it secures an overall majority now resting on a handful of seats.
The former Scottish secretary David Mundell told BBC Scotland he was anticipating a SNP majority, suggesting the party would pick up some crucial regional list seats as well as the majority of constituencies.
