I did one of these last year, so I thought I'd just upload the BBC Party election colours for this year, the Lib Dems, Liberals, Greens and the SNP have all seen a slight change, but Plaid have now gone from green to yellow - though perhaps a bit to much like the SNP yellow. The Green's are a much more vivid green than last year probably due to more 'space' on the green spectrum.
I assume that the SSP colour is being used for RISE, but I'm surprised that the Women's Equality Party haven't gained a colouring given they are standing a mayoral candidate, a full London Assembly list and some Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly candidates.
To answer an earlier question BBC1 Scotland coverage is being simulcast on BBC Parliament and running from 10.30pm-9.15am.
STV's coverage runs from 10.30pm-6am, 1.55-3pm and 6-7pm, displacing the Evening News. Also a Friday night edition of Scotland Tonight. Unlike Wales there isn't a programme at 9.25am.
I'm guessing though with them pretty much wiping out the opposition at the General Election last year that a clear SNP victory is pretty much a foregone conclusion.

Victory of what is the biggest question, and will there get that magic 65? Anyways what being broadcast at 09.25? Its the right course of action, since the highland and Island may take until 2-3pm to get sorted out, and we wont learn anything new at 09.25. Im sure GMB will have Lady Kelly out and about in Scotland. Is BBC Scotland again having its own Breakfast show with Jackie bird?

The fact is that the SNP could get a victory on just the constituency MSPs without any need to count the regional votes so an early result is possible. The real battle will be for second place with it looking increasingly likely that the Conservatives could get a couple more seats on a few less votes than Labour. Fourth place is pretty much guaranteed to the Greens and the only other battle being will UKIP get an MSP or two. But overall every opinion poll of the year has given the SNP at least 69 MSPs - and they underestimated the SNP last year so an SNP majority is a foregone conclusion. Most of the elections will likely be tidied up by Friday afternoon, it'll just be Northern Ireland and the odd local election that eeks into the weekend.

Is possible but you have to remember we still have the 73 constituency, which make the seats alot smaller. Because of that its possible including the Tories ( who have a few constituency) to retain them. There could be alot of back handed voting to keep the SNP out. Its really could be all bets are off, because Exit poll can only with the constituency, and lists are a different kettle of fish, and alot of Green votes will also come in to the play
Either way could really be fun night, especial if UKIP get its seat.

From Monday onwards The one show is dropped until after the election. With Reporting Scotland becoming hour long.

Interesting to see they've done that, in light of the previous 'Scottish Six' trial. I wonder if this has been done in part to please certain people within the Scottish parliament, baring in mind the charter renewal. Both Wales & Northern Ireland will still be showing the One Show. It looks a Question of Sport is being used as a filler programme for the 1 hour Wednesday edition.
