Wouldn't need the full fat Tories back in power in Westminster as you could enjoy the diet version in Scotland (while being 'Independent' in name only as your currency amd economic levers still rest in London...and of course, you get to keep the monarchy as well...win, win So for Indyref 2, I'll mark you down in the "Maybe" column 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Hoho was only a matter of time for the "returning" Jedi. Looks like he's on the road now though. A slow burner this time round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 The upcoming Rochdale by-election shaping up to be a total shitshow. George Galloway will be standing, as is Tommy Robinson and today Simon Danzcuk has declared as the Reform candidate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of seats, that would be: SNP ~ 45 (-1 / -19) Labour ~ 43 (+1 / +21) Conservative ~21 (+1 / -11) Green ~ 10 (nc / +2) Lib Dem ~ 10 (nc / +6) RUK ~ 0 (-1 / nc) That would be some outcome...SNP could govern ad a minority or add the Greens again, still a minority.. would be difficult for them to get much through with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could end up with some good, collegiate politics, where bills get discussed, amended and passed based on the merit of the legislation.

Presumably this refers to Italy as an obvious basket case country that might for example have five prime ministers in less than five years. I think it has lost that unique distinction.
