banterman86 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Callaghan's inept government surely paved the way. Nah the motion of no confidence tabled by the SNP led the way. Clearly the SNP were comfortable with a tory government ruling Scotland seriously, i said i was at it like 3 posts ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In short, the trade union movement, allied with Scottish Nationalists, are to blame for Thatcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colkitto Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is this a serious question? The election had to be called before October 1979. Do you believe Labour could have turned around the 2 million votes for the Tories in 5 months? Why should the SNP have given votes to Callaghan when they refused to support devolution after the disgraceful 40% rule in the referendum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todders Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I don't wish to labour the point (arf arf) - simply point out that they have had an effect in the last election. I wonder what Scotland would look like if westminster had PR - i daresay the tories would have afew more seats. And of course, the votes of Scottish MPs were rather important in bringing in Thatcher.... Thatcher was coming in whether the SNP voted to bring down the lying, incompetent Labour government anyway. There was around a year before a GE would have been called anyway and there was not a chance in hell that Labour would have recovered in that time.

Todders Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I;m just at it. it was SNP MPs who first tabled a motion of no confidence in Callaghan. which led to Thatcher's election. After betraying the Scottish people over the 79 referendum, they should have been imprisoned, never mind a motion of no confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ach...hook line and sinker but you can hardly blame me as it's just they type of pish unionists tend to some out with...and mean it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todders Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Ian Paisley should be the new figurehead. No because, no. Having auld Dr Paisley shout "NO!!!!!!!" to every question in a studio debate would probably be a step up in the quality of input from the Better Together campaign.

Burma Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Alistair Darling in full positive message mode at the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations annual conference http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-26276250 Worth noting that Alex Salmond also spoke at the same event, but the BBC didnt bother to report that http://www.scvo.org.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
