Anyone who thinks we live in a democracy is deluded, we really don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Dugdale just asked on the radio about Ed's tombstone pledges. She couldn't name one of them. I actually thought she was doing pretty well up till then too - at least she spent more time talking about Labour policy than about the SNP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Must admit that it's rather amusing to see Labour voters complaining about the SNP supposedly using a mild version of standard Labour protest tactics. Scunner to have your traditional voter base come back to bite you in the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayrmad Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I actually thought she was doing pretty well up till then too. Pished at 10 in the morning? Dugdale only ever does well up until the point that she starts speaking, her poor dad must cringe every time he watches his wee princess open her gub.

1320Lichtie Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Update on NE fife from a biased SNP source in the work, he's semi retired and in Coupar, he's been canvassing all over NE fife. He said the SNP vote seems strong, said you'd be surprised, especially with the grey vote, he said that theres loads of older folk who are extremely pissed off about this vow nonsense. All this obviously 2nd hand information from a biased source but still thought I'd share. I'm shiteing myself for Friday, thought I'd try help with a wee bit of reassurance Dundee/Angus should be NAPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although to be fair not in massive numbers, but definitely in significant and noticeable numbers. What is true, in my experience, is the most rabid hatred does tend to come from the 60ish age group.

laughinglady Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 In Scotland this election is still basically about independence. If you're a die hard Yesser then obviously you vote SNP, end up with a Tory government, call for another referendum. This makes perfect sense. I don't agree but it's an honest position which you have to respect. But Sturgeon's 'we'll keep Labour honest' line isn't honest is it? The SNP don't want to be a force for good within the UK, they want independence, come what may. Independence is much more likely to emerge from a fractious, dysfunctional and unfair UK than from a harmonious, prosperous, egalitarian UK. So it's pretty obvious what Salmond's agenda's going to be at Westminster. I think some people who voted No are planning to vote SNP because they they think it'll be good for Scotland within the UK ('Stronger for Scotland'). But another Tory government won't be good for Scotland or anyone else. So unless you really truly want independence, do what Rupert Murdoch wants you not to do: vote Labour.

My 69 year old father, who hasn't voted in elections (or in the referendum) since the 90s has told me yesterday he's voting SNP.

But another Tory government won't be good for Scotland or anyone else. So unless you really truly want independence, do what Rupert Murdoch wants you not to do: vote Labour. Seriously it isn't. The referendum is over. We lost. We get over it. It is a simple concept that "The Scottish People will decide when the next referendum is" What is now required is for Scotland to have a voice at Westminster. One it has never had. The Tories, Labour and whatever incarnation the Liberals were at the time have had centuries to give Scotland a fair crack of the whip. This is simply people waking up and realising that the only party who will currently do that is the SNP There are two principles in the SNP's constitution. One is obviously independence the other is: the furtherance of all Scottish interests. We cannot have independence (yet) that does not mean that it stops trying to get the best for the people of Scotland, until such time as the people of Scotland decide that the time is right for Independence.
