MONKMAN Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It's simple arithmetic . Whoever gets the most seats wins Remind me how that panned out in 2010 when Labour triumphed in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Gorilla Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Looking forward to Mr Bairn's number crunching Might start getting some bets on soon. Here's a dece site for folk asking about their constituency: https://yournextmp.com/ Shy Tory syndrome definitely has to be factored in, given Labour's current state. I'd need to see consistent polls of over 10% leads to think the SNP have a shot at any given constituency. The shitebags and gullible morons like this Gorilla chap will come out on the day for Labour. The naive and foolish will vote SNP and wake up with another Tory government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Parp Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Whoever gets the most seats will get the chance to form the next government. Given that there will probably be no outright winner then it'll probably be the Tories. So we'll either have another coalition or a minority government. My money is on a minority Tory government. And how are they going to get a majority? You need a majority to form a government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urban Gorilla Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Remind me how that panned out in 2010 when Labour triumphed in Scotland. The Tories had a far bigger share of the vote in that election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll either form a coalition with Lib Dems or UKIP or rely on these party's to get votes pushed through on a vote by vote basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore shouldn't your statement be "Vote LibDem/UKIP, get the Tories"? You can stop spouting pish now, chum. You're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 If it's a hung parliament, the sitting government gets the first chance to form any potential coalition. Also, I don't understand why anyone wouldn't tell the truth with regards to their voting intentions either online or over the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't surprise me if they got in bed with the Tories again. Hopefully most people will see sense and vote labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 UKIP They won't get enough seats. It says more about yourself that you'd wish to elect a man prime minister, who I wouldn't trust to tie my shoe laces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUFC90 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 If the SNP wipe out Labour in Scotland then it could let the Tories in. There does have to be some cuts but Labour will do it differently. There will be no tax cuts for the rich for example. Maybe you can explain this handy graph that shows there is absolutely no correlation between voting SNP and getting the Tories. Indeed, when the Labour vote has been highest the Tories have got in. Vote Labour get the Tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour and the Tories are neck and neck at the moment. Fwiw I think the SNP have done quite well in power in Scotland. Free prescriptions and school meals for p1 to p3 pupils are excellent policies to help the poor. What should not be forgotten is that it was Labour who introduced the minimum wage and working tax credits. 2 policies the Tories opposed. The 2 parties are not the same. Far from it.
