When the polls closed, the dramatic count that followed saw the emergence of a new political landscape ... As the polling dust settled, the SNP [Scottish National Party] had won an unprecedented 56 of the 59 constituencies across Scotland, turning them into Zionist lobby-free zones for the first time in decades. Indeed, the Westminster lobby groups of various political Friends of Israel were heavily depleted following high profile departures from the ranks of MPs which left the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats with just one representative in Scotland each.
