That isn't acceptable, no matter which party is involved. This was just MSPs - if you did the same for Westminster I suspect Sunak would have his own share of these types of post as well. Too many hide behind a keyboard and resort to this type of shit. Edited May 20 by DeeTillEhDeh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds daft but that kind of effect is genuine, I think. Milei might not have won in Argentina had the football team not won the World Cup the previous year. Milei possibly managed to harness the euphoria a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a belief that Labour lost the 1970 election because England lost to Germany in Mexico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Scotland do well, SNP vote soars, Labour don't get expected gains north of the border, Tories capitalise on England doing well in Germany too, Tories win with a majority of about 5. 4D chess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) If it's July it'll be too soon for Swinney to do much about the SNP polling position and they are likely to get fragged. I'm surprised at Sunak not trying to waiy out one more budget cycle in the hope of a big giveaway but perhaps he's eager enough to get out of dodge and start a new life over in the States....

scottsdad Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 The rumours of an early election are still going on. from the Mail though Quote The drama is threatening to set the Tory tinderbox ablaze, with MPs telling MailOnline that Mr Sunak has a 'death wish' and the Parliamentary party will go 'nuts' if he tries to call an election. There are claims that 1922 chair Graham Brady is now accepting texts voicing no confidence in the leader. One former Cabinet minister said: 'There will be queues outside Graham Brady's door.' Another senior backbencher told MailOnline that even if Mr Sunak went to see the King they could attempt a coup to try to prevent the writ being moved to dissolve Parliament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 What seems to be causing this is cabinet ministers cancelling travel plans and TV appearances.

In a way it’s not a bad thing for Swinney. Having an election so soon into his time as leader, he doesn’t really have to own the result. If the SNP make major losses now he can just throw the last guy under the bus. If the poll was held 6-9 months into his tenure and they made huge losses, that could be a resignation matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Full respect to these absolute mad lads. Tory backbenchers going to vote out Sunak if he calls an election so they can hang onto their seats for a few more months.

carpetmonster Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) I'm not particularly happy about this as a US resident. I want to enjoy the coverage of lots of worstcunts getting their Portillo moment, but knowing they'll be replaced by almost equally as shit c***s means I'm loth to hold back on my day of getting patriotically pished for Murica.
