UK Election: Labour faces wipeout in Scotland.
Labour is facing electoral wipeout in Scotland as the SNP is on course to win 48 seats, one of the world's most respected pollsters has forecast.
Nate Silver, a US statistician who rose to fame after correctly predicting the outcome of the last two US presidential elections, said that no party will hold a majority in Britain after the vote May 7.
He said that the Conservatives are likely to have the most seats with 283, while Labour will be on 270, the SNP on 48, the Liberal Democrats on 24 and the DUP eight.
Ukip, he suggested will have just one seat while other parties will win 16 seats between them.
