Reading all the opinion polls I can't quite get my head around the fact the SNP

are likely to get less than 4% of the vote but end up with 56 seats in Parliament and possibly hold the balance of power whereas the Greens are expected to get around 7% of the vote and get 1 seat and UKIP 13% and 2 or 3 seats.

Obviously Scotland needs to have more than 1 or 2 MPs and its presumably down to there being some very sparsely populated seats in Scotland but that just seems wrong to me and something that needs looking at, particularly now there is the Scottish Parliament as well.

At least at the last election when the lib dems held the balance of power and were able to propel themselves into a coalition they had a significant proportion of the national vote.
