yoda Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Just heard that Labour are cutting their losses and moved activists from East Lothian over to Glasgow Kelvin to try to shore up Pauline McNeil's vote. No the decision was made some point yesterday. Was speaking to a party activist. Well they weren't there today when I wandered over. Perhaps they arrived later though.

Gray isn't popular in haddington his home town. 2. Tranent and Prestonpans are "less red" than normal but still out in force. 3.

Monster Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I just voted John McKee The Builder in the Glasgow Cathcart ward. http://john-mckee.com/Manifesto.asp?PageName=Manifesto Yeah... We could have game shows on TV and the prizes could be to fly in our planes and helicopters and push the release button for missiles once it is targeted by our expert pilots. Our stonemasons can carve the stones of our choice, and there will be no need for gargoyles and other monuments of fear. If you heat gold to a temperature of over 6000 degrees Celsius (for 70 seconds) it will produce a brilliant white light of electricity and this will earth, creating an arc of light from the gold to the earth. You are left with a white powder and when consumed this is known as the elixir of life and it will protect you from illness and disease. It gets worse: The banking system is a capital scam to increase division and fear. There are 5 million Scots and speaking hypothetically, if we each earn £100 a week then we need to produce that through our endeavour and trade, so we need £500 million a week to break even, anything more is surplus, anything less is a loss. That’s banking sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was back through to vote today, and as a resident of Haddington I can confirm that he is most certainly not popular there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xbl Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Listening to the radio the now, some blurb about "The Nationalists!", but an exit poll has been produced, with the SNP on 51% to Labours 26% (forgotten exact figures, damn radio), nae chance! Talk of the SNP making big gains in the North East, but they reckon Iain Gray will hold his seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm listening too, but did they not say it was an opinion poll from some date in April - Yesterday? The Norn Irish reporter now on saying that Gray looks like he might hang-on, by 'talking to people'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinion (not an exit) poll had: Cons 12 (constituency); 12 (regional) Lab 26; 22 Lib Dem 4; 3 SNP 51; 53 Green n/a; 5 But it's for the Hate Mail and do you believe what you read in the Hate Mail?

H Wragg Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Just heard that Labour are cutting their losses and moved activists from East Lothian over to Glasgow Kelvin to try to shore up Pauline McNeil's vote. Is it a proven fact that activists on the ground manage to sway voters? I couldn't see me changing my mind due to being encouraged to vote a certain way/encouraged to vote at all if I didn't intend to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 BBC news big Brian said full results tomorrow afternoon. No point staying up until first results in as it'll be a few hours yet unless there's a blinding exit poll somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
