capybara Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 It is interesting though that the Tories now use their votes to give to SLAB , a happy Unionist Cabal. Watch Glasgow next year as they will be desperate to keep the SNP from gaining the City Chambers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Very interesting aspect of STV and why I would be nervous having it in something that mattered like parliament is the potential for these "false gains" when single seats are contested. That's a couple we have seen in recent by elections. I expect the SNP to make huge gains across the central belt next May but can see Tories making gains in the north east. It will be interesting. Labour are of course rooked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtgilphead Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 2 observations: 1) It's a 4 member seat in which Labour won the first 2 seats in 2012 under the single transferable vote system. Under this system, it would be a huge shock if they failed to win any by-election in which only one seat requires to be filled. 2) Look at the swing from Labour to SNP - nearly 20% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezia likes tory policies so much she doesn't vote for them either. She's trying to though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The Culloden and Ardersier result should be out today. The election was to replace some ancient Labour dinosaur who keeled over on holiday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Looks like that result won't be going on Scottish Labour's fictitious set of "recent by-election wins" - that's a wee shame. Scottish Labour. Meanwhile in some shithole in the north of England, they lost a council seat by a 24 point margin to UKIP. The revolution is clearly going well. Labour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
