Glasgow - Labour has opened up a clear lead over the Scottish National Party in the contest for the Scottish Parliament, according to a poll published last night.
Paradoxically, the System Three opinion poll for The Herald newspaper also found majority support for the SNP's controversial plan not to implement the 1p cut in income tax in Scotland if it wins power.
In terms of seats in the Holyrood Parliament, Labour emerges comfortably as the largest party with 60 seats in the poll but five short of an overall majority.
