Desert Nomad Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Following on from the Westminster 2015 thread, thought Hollyrood should get one of its own. Following Panelbase poll, composition of Hollyrood 2016 as folows: SNP down, but gains for Green would probably result in a coalition between the two. Ruth Davidson's fanciful SNP/Tory coalition can remain a fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'd take a SNP/Greens coalition. The Dream Team - with Sturgeon as First Minister and Harvie as Deputy First Minister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 A lot will depend on what happens in the Westminster election in 2015 and whether the Tories actually get to implement the English MPs for English Votes stuff. If they go down that path and Cameron appears to be serious about it the next few years are very much uncharted territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I'm looking forward to it. Would be very disappointed if Labour returned anywhere near that many seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForzaDundee Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ruth Davidson's fanciful SNP/Tory coalition can remain a fantasy. Bizarre how Ruth Davidson's quotes on them possibly agreeing to a coalition with the SNP was all over the media yet nobody thought to mentioned the fact that never under any circumstance would the SNP even consider a coalition with the Tories.

LongTimeLurker Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What's even more twilight zone is that she now has to pretend to support policies of radically more devolution that are close to what Murdo Fraser was advocating when they had their last leadership contest.

They were happy enough with an informal confidence and supply deal from 2007-2011 mind, aslthough the SNP at that point were a more centrist, middle Scotland party. The Nicola Sturgeon model has the exciting prospect of being a bit more radical and redistributive in terms of domestic policy. 2016 will be fascinating, I can see another Yes majority, with a SNP/Green coalition.

ScotlandGer Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Just out of curiosity, what party will you be backing at the next Holyrood elections? I've always been SNP. Re-joined on 19th. So, SNP, but Patrick Harvie is a top dude as far as I'm concerned. You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
