It's based on UK wide polling though with a small Scottish subsample where results can vary greatly from poll to poll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is Scotland, a country where a huge chunk of the population base their politics, their religion and their arseholery on the football club they follow. UK nationalism (typified by the Tories) has been shored up by the BritNat parties “Northern Irishing” Scottish Politics for decades. The term “unionist” has always been related to the sectarian nonsense in Ireland/NI (including in the old “Conservative and Unionist” moniker) and yet the main parties eagerly adopted it to refer to Scotland. It’s no coincidence; it suits them to ensure they have a base of orange-flavoured loyalists 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree that it shouldn't be in the constitution, I seem to recall you contributing to the Catalonia thread? I don't recall you ever mentioning your outrage that the a similar provision exists in the Spanish constitution. Why do you only appear to bring up the self-determination angle when it suits your viewpoint? Seems a bit two-faced to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hard border with them and EU membership would be a price worth paying. We’ll just use that frictionless stuff that the tories say exists that doesnt actually exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Holyrood polling they're still projected to lose their ability to form a majority government even with Green support. The opinion polling is always pretty weak for Holyrood but they do average a 15% lead in the constituency vote and about 11% in the list vote using the 5 most recent reputable polls. The Greens average about 6.6% in the list vote (which is what they exactly got in 2016). It's very premature and there is a much bigger risk in Holyrood than people realise but I don't think it's fair to say that's the projection yet. It's been shown in one or two polls but mostly, it's been a similar state of play when you look at the last year or so of polling. I suspect as well, all polling may turn out to be useless and we'll see a dramatic change in the landscape post Brexit. It's uncharted waters ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Rubin Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Brexit annoyed initially because the whole of the UK is leaving the EU so UKexit would have been correct. Although perhaps it was forward thinking by the campaign team because they knew Britain will be leaving and not Northern Ireland 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
