   Doubt it.   
      
   For one thing, it's a three-party system in Scotland. If the SNP is getting   
   45% (like it has in the past few elections), but the LibDems and Labor are   
   splitting the remainder then the SNP dominates. The Exit Polls I've seen thus   
   far don't show the    
   percentages, so there's no way to know whether the SNP is at it's recent   
   average of 45% or has gone past 50%.   
      
   Moreover, secessionist movements frequently have soft supporters who don't   
   actually want to leave the country, but do want the central government to make   
   concessions.
