BFTD Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Huge surge of support for the genital inspectors! Lib Dems looking over their shoulders with something to worry about other than, "why do we exist?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Abla still falling short of a seat then and the Unionist parties well short of a grand coalition. The 'Italian politics' era of Scottish politics is going to be wild 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orfc Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I take it showing a slight SNP recovery Holyrood side means Redtop & Winalot or whatever are completely bona fide pollsters now Though given according to the commentators on this forum everyone apart from the greens and half the SNP are just Tories in disguise it looks like a 70% Tory lock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these polls just calculate the number of seats based on the overall swing, which is a rather crude method that doesn't even begin to take into account tactical voting. I'd be amazed if there's as many Tory seats left in SNP/Tory marginals, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Clark was the previous independent and yes his votes in a rural ward full of Fermers and Fishermen were always going to the Tory especially on a truly pathetic turnout. Amazing it took until the 4th round of voting to actually elect the Tory. Unamazed it was the red cheek 2nd prefs that got them over the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be tricky to see how it could have worked on the 2nd round, even if all the alba had went Tory it wouldn't be over 50% But they literally needed less than 100 alba / libdems / labour second prefs to get that whole extra 2.5% needed, I don't think we can apply the nats favourite labour=Tory meme onto this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Worth noting that in 1997, the worst Tory result in a century, 28% of this age group voted Tory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 It's no doubt that the Tories 'Rule Britannia, blitz spirit, stiff upper lip, 2 World Wars and One World Cup' stance still resonates with pension age voters, but for people under the age of 40, I don't think they care that much about a war that happened before a lot of their parents or grandparents were born. Same goes for the monarchy. Young people simply don't care. Which is great, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope Starmer is sent home with his tail between his legs to rethink his strategy of getting into bed with Rupert Murdoch and aping the Tories. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
