Put quite starkly Ake it works out as follows:

On a Constituency Basis where there were 2,016,978 votes counted the Scottish Nationalist Party got 664,227 votes. They fielded a candidate in all constituencies, therefore the people of Scotland, or at least the 50-51% of the eligible voters who bothered to turn up, did have a chance to vote for a Scottish Nationalist Candidate. Eh, Ake, that by my arithmetic means that of the 2,016,978 Scots voters who turned up 1,352,751 said no to the SNP (Ration of 1:2.04 against)

On a Regional Basis where there were 2,042,109 votes counted, the SNP got 633,401 votes, that means that 1,408,708 votes were against the SNP (Ratio of 1:2.22 against)

Now what was it you were calling into question as being inaccurate again Folkiedave? - Oh Yes, I remember now:

"Dream on Ake, that day is one hell of a long way off, especially when you consider that two-thirds of all those who voted in the last election in Scotland clearly illustrated that they do not want anything to do with the kippers agenda."

Well Folkiedave with the ratios at 1:2.04 against and 1:2.22 against, I would say that it is fairly accurate to say that (How did I put it?) two-thirds of all those who voted in the last election in Scotland clearly illustrated that they do not want anything to do with the SNP.
