Douglas Ross: Scottish Tories doing slightly better in opinion polls
He told Times Radio on Sunday: "Of course the SNP went into that election with a majority and came out of it having lost their majority, because the Scottish Conservatives more than doubled their seats from 15 to 31.
"So absolutely everything's to play for in the run-up to the elections this year."

Mr Ross said: "Why don't we have an 11-point plan to protect jobs in Scotland?
"Why don't we have an 11-point plan to ensure businesses get the support they need?
"Why don't we have an 11-point plan to rebuild our education system in Scotland?"
He added: "This is where the focus should be in Scotland right now, not fighting another independence referendum."
