The SNP's real target are the Scottish Parialment's elections next year.

I remember this recent story...

The Scotsman: McConnell warns Blair over SNP threat in Holyrood elections (12 Jun 2006)

JACK McConnell has warned Tony Blair that the Scottish National Party poses a "real threat" to Labour at next year's Holyrood elections.

The First Minister's warning coincided with a call from Welsh Labour MPs, who are anxious about the devolved assembly election there next year, for the Prime Minister to quit before next May.

The devolved elections next year are fast emerging as a major focus for concerns about Labour's performance and Mr Blair's position.

Between Blair and Cameron they are going to give us a very interesting 3 years until the next Westminster elections.
