While they lost the vast majority of their MPs they got 30% of the vote. The PR system for electing the Scottish Parliament would, if the result was replicated, translate to something like 40 seats. Labour would have something like 46.

Tactical voting won't be the same, that's not to say it can't happen. The move in Glasgow and Lanarkshire would be Labour with the first vote Lib Dem with the second. Very 1999. The first loser, for which I'm sure everyone has a special tiny violin, would probably be the Greens on the independence leaning side.
