The SNP s Toni Giugliano is looking to oust Labour Party veteran from her Dumbarton seat who has a razor-thin majority THE SNP are facing a tough fight tomorrow to take Scotland’s most marginal Holyrood constituency from Labour. Party veteran Jackie Baillie has been the MSP for Dumbarton since 1999, though the 4758 majority she won then was slashed to just 109 at the 2016 election. On paper the numbers should make it an easy win for the SNP. However, it would seem the pro-Union parties and voters in the area are intent on playing hardball.
