New Scottish Social Attitudes findings on discrimination and prejudice in Scotland. โžก๏ธ Positive attitudes towards same-sex relationships have continued to increase, just 10% would be unhappy about a close relative marrying someone of the same sex, down from 33% in 2006. โžก๏ธ However, the proportion saying there is "sometimes good reason to be prejudiced" has risen from 22% (2015) to 31% (2025). Four groups remain at particular risk: trans people, Gypsy/Travellers, people with severe mental illness, and older people.

Our MRP estimates that the SNP are likely to win 59 seats - six short of the 65 needed for a majority, with a tight race for second place between Reform UK and Labour. survation.com/final-survatioโ€ฆ
