Burma Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Agreed. And also when the Trot Nats imploded the SNP was a natural place for many disilliusioned voters. My own mother voted for the SNP for that very reason - but she will be voting No in the referendum. So the SNP are a "protest" party? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 SNP are always a haven for "hacked off Tories", who could not bring themselves to vote either Lib-Dem or Labour They are getting votes because they're doing a decent job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) British Nationalists and Unionists just can't accept that the SNP have the largest core support in Scotland and have done now for a good few years.

I'm certain that plenty of SNP voters voted Labour last time round.

thepundit Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Enigma, its easy for "Unionists" to accept the Scottish National Party have the largest support in Scotland. But it does not alter the fact that Unionists have a far larger combined support. That's the most important thing at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The SNP support will die out sooner rather than later. They aren't trendy with young voters. I know this for a fact, I'm one of them. The Labour support has already died out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were told on here by some pre election how UKIP voters were v. v. similar to the SNP and were basically one and the same, should we not count them amongst the nationalist vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confidemus Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I accept that, I'm a unionist and an SNP voter. You're a very confused man. The SNP support will die out sooner rather than later. They aren't trendy with young voters. I know this for a fact, I'm one of them. The Labour support has already died out. Realistically, the kinds of things that are trendy with "young voters" are big bang theory t shirts and World of Warcraft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bairn Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So who is on trend with the yoof if it isn't the SNP or Labour? To an extent, Labour will make a comeback. Their oldie traditionalists are dying out and the middle aged aren't en masse Labourites. However they have some support with the younger ones. In saying that, the majority of 18-25 year olds I've spoken to in the last week actually voted for the Greens. Tory and UKIP support is almost non-existent, a lot of youngsters agree with Lib Dem policies but won't vote for them while the coalition is in power, and the only SNP voters in that age bracket are rabid independence supporters(around half of which vote Green anyway) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKIP voters and SNP voters aren't one and the same, but there's definitely similarities. However, the main difference is obviously one party want's the UK broken up and the other wants the UK to become stronger. To think UKIP voters will vote Yes in the Scottish independence referendum is madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
