THE SNP will benefit from a huge surge in support at a Westminster election, a new study suggests.
The projections from the Survation poll are illustrated on an interactive Flavible Politics map, which highlights the dominance of the pro-independence party.
In line to win 4% of votes in the UK as a whole, the SNP would secure a total of 53 seats, according to Flavible projections.
The Tories will be wiped off the map in Scotland entirely, the study suggests.
The LibDems are on track to win five seats while Labour would pick up just one.
Currently, the SNP have 35 MPs elected to Westminster, meaning the results would represent an increase of 18 seats.

In the UK as a whole, the Conservatives were forecast to win 28% of the vote, with Labour on 24%, the LibDems on 21%, the Brexit Party on 15% and the Greens on 3%.
The Survation poll also asked respondents about their views on Brexit.
Some 55% said they would vote to Remain in the event of another referendum, with 45% opting for Leave.
Probed about their preferred outcome for Brexit, 43% of respondents said they want the UK to stay in the EU. Just under a third (29%) said their first choice would be to leave with a deal while 19% said they would prefer a No-Deal Brexit.
Survation polled 2040 respondents aged 18+ in the UK via an online questionnaire.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
