This will play right into her hands. She can present herself as a matyr in the commons who is the only person standing up to the heartless tories. Would also play into the ongoing independence argument, allowing her to argue that only independence will bring fairness for Scotland.

If it did, it must have been from a very low base as they averaged 260 votes per constituency.
