MarkoRaj Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think we are homing in on the reason why you are struggling to attract a girlfriend without having to pay for it. Keep this up and you'll soon be our very own 40year old virgin. I thought we were long past that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septentrional Wasp Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If the unionist parties have any sense - I'm look mainly at you, Labour - they'll have their own yes campaigns next time round rather than one that encompasses all of them. I think the battering they took was in part down to the fact they aligned themselves with the Tories, even down to sharing a stage with them.

Alan Stubbs Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Project Fear paying off massively with certain demographics and some failings in the Yes campaign both contributed to the outcome. This is so blatantly the case that I don't actually respect the opinion of anyone who only comes down on one side of this. I'd like to think both sides of this will prove more problematic for the No side next time. Scaremongering will certainly be a much harder proposition. With the continued decline of tradiotional media, it's going to be damn hard to spin the same guff - especially with every speech/leaflet/policy doc from last time getting easily brought up. The other side of it is more hope than expectancy but I'd like to see a future Yes campaign learn from their predecessors' mistakes. No guarantees there though.

Baxter Parp Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 ^^^ the benefit of H_B on this forum, right there. Agree with the majority of this post. I don't think yes spent more than no in the end though. If the unionist parties have any sense - I'm look mainly at you, Labour - they'll have their own no campaigns next time round rather than one that encompasses all of them. I think the battering they took was in part down to the fact they aligned themselves with the Tories, even down to sharing a stage with them. No has to be positive about the UK next time - I don't think they can rely on fear/smear again in a referendum. You just need to look at how dimly that chat was viewed during the general election campaign. The Yes side did not pick the question, It was formulated by the Electoral Commission. See what happens when you agree with that lying c**t, H_B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rational Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Labour chucked quite a lot of manpower into this by election, no surprise they got their candidate in. Lewis is a decent guy, he deserved the win. He's a Fifer to boot, he went to Buckhaven High, so goes to show that something decent came out of our high school lol!

Kyle Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Well, they have the highest percentage of the vote, so I'd guess yes There's two seats up grabs - SNP took the first, labour took the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Rational Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Second seat was always going to be a fight between labour and the greens. Labour put effort into it and got in. Three labour and one SNP is the make up of the ward now iirc. Next council, there's no way labour will return three, one will go to Greens. It could come down to where your name is on the ballot paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 In Sept 2013 TNS had Yes: 25% Look where we are in 2 years! In August 2011 TNS/BMRB had No on 38%.
