As polling stations in Aberdeen and across the United Kingdom opened at 7 in the morning today, popular support seemed to be for the Scottish National Party (SNP) as most voters dawned stickers with the yellow party. Houses and streets had banners and picks in support for a more Scottish parliament and seemingly seems as if this time around, SNP is a big contender to Downing Street. Nicola Sturgeon is definitely going to garner a significant number of votes.
In comparison to the run up to the September Scottish Referendum elections last year, none of the other contending parties this time around seemed to be openly in support of their candidates.
Could this be a sign for the demise of David Cameroon and his Conservative party after having duped Scotland of devolution of power last year? Snap polls across the UK have been showing a closely knit race with none of the parties getting a majority win.

In many parts of Aberdeen, most of the voters started trickling in around 9 in the morning and by 10 a couple more voters could be seen streaming to the polls. Dyce Church Hall which covered Kirkhill, Dyce North and Dyce South fell short of parking as most voters ended up looking for alternative parking at the nearest shopping centres.
