Just as in 2015, this election promises to be a tough fight for some of the biggest names. Depending on which pollsters you believe, Labour are either in for a drubbing or their best performance since 2001. The Lib Dems could be about to face annihilation. Even Conservative cabinet ministers are vulnerable in several key marginals. But as before, the most exciting battleground is likely to be in Scotland, where the SNP are retreating from the phenomenal high they achieved two years ago. Listed below are ten of the most significant potential upsets to watch out for after the polls close.
Angus Robertson in Moray
Expected declaration time: 3:00am
Region: Scotland
Majority: 9,065
2015 result: SNP 50% Con 31%, Lab 10%, Ukip 4%, Lib Dem 3%, Green 3%,
Leave vote: 49.9%
Why to watch: As the SNP group leader in the House of Commons, Angus Robertson has become a familiar face at Prime Minister’s Questions, where he has earned considerable praise for his attacks on the Cameron and May governments.
