Sunrise Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Of course this isn't the end result but a decent first preference showing for the SNP at this time of year. May be them v Tory in the later stages. Edited March 23, 2018 by Sunrise 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacDuffman Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 As much as I love to see Labour getting gubbed, I don't like the rise of the Tories in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossbill Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) On 21/03/2018 at 23:01, Crossbill said: Penicuik by election tomorrow. It's been a disastrous couple of days for the Tories, so it'll be interesting to see if that is reflected in the results. 2017 first preference results were: SNP 35.2% Conservative 26.2% Labour 25.6% Lib Dems 7.3% Green 5.7% If you're in the ward don't forget to vote. First preferences were: SNP 35.0% (-0.2%) Conservative 30.2% (+4.0%) Labour 27.6% (+2.0%) Green 7.2% (+1.5%) Slight increase in Conservative and Labour share, which I'm guessing is probably due to the absence of the shy tories from the ballot. Still, it's disheartening that the Conservative vote held up so well in the face of the fishing fiasco and their attempts to undermine devolution earlier in the week. A win's a win though. Final transfer numbers still haven't been released, as far as I can see. They will let us know pretty accurately whether Labour supporters in Penicuik would really prefer an SNP or Tory administration.

When did a Labour activist last make a joke that wasn't racist, homophobic or misogynist? Meanwhile, it's staggering to hear of the CWU union supporting this numptie after his racist and homophobic jokes came to light... http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/16111221.Union_campaigning_against_racism_paid_race_row_Scots_MP___3000/ Quote A SCOTS Labour MP at the centre of a race row was given £3000 by a union campaigning against racism just 48 hours after he had to apologise for “deeply offensive” remarks. The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has been heavily criticised for making the donation to Hugh Gaffney while it was promoting an anti-racism conference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former I would say. Weird to use societal wide issues around racism, sexism and anti-semitism as an excuse to point score when it's something I've been critical of repeatedly on here and elsewhere. I mean I quit the party over its shoddy attempt to rehabilitate Alex Riley. 2 minutes ago, Crùbag said: It's hard to tell.

Kejan Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Think that's SNP 3 Tories 0 in 2018. Agree, it's pish seeing the Tories on 30% but a win is a win and STV is very hard for the SNP to win. Well done to all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible though that some in the Labour movement still tolerate the likes of Dempster and the other bigots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunrise Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lib Dems win the Caol by-election - a decent showing for the SNP in Charles Kennedy's back garden. Know there's not always loads to read into a cooncil by-election but I recall the SNP couldn't hold a seat for a period in their first team in office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
