cdhafc1874 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Please tell me AFI doesn't stand for "Alternative for Independence".Stands for "Action For Independence"Tommy Sheridan is involved, along with the remnants of his Solidarity party & a few Ex-SNP Twitter folk with ideas above their station in terms of their own importance.Could be wrong but think the SSP have thrown their lot in with AFI this time as don't think they are standing at all.So you have AFI, ISP, Scotia Future & the Scottish Libertarian Party on the fringe pro-indy side standing.Then on the fringe unionist side you have UKIP, Reform UK & George Galloway's 'Alliance For Unity' mob standing.Would reckon 1-2% of the list vote between all of them at very best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Unionist side there's also the 'Abolish Scottish Parliament Party' which seems to be the 'British Unionist Party' under a new name as it's the same guy behind both. There's also a 'Scottish Unionist Party' formed in 1986 but no idea how active they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) There must still be a few of those 'Christian fundamentalist and whisky-addled pensioner/shut down everything including electricity and running water on a Sunday' types kicking about up the west coast and in the highlands and islands surely?

DeeTillEhDeh Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 The narrowing in the polls may not be a bad thing - it might just focus people more - if the polls were showing that the SNP were going to easily get a majority then you'd get some complacency not just in the SNP but also from voters - the "I'll not bother because they'll win easy" types. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be a different picture by the time of the election. People have short memories, the Salmond caper will be a distant memory and restrictions being lifted by the Scottish Government should get people in a better mood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because me, a singular person is a Rangers fan that's also a Unionist doesn't prove any point. There are numerous posters on here that are A. Rangers fans but not Unionists and B. Unionists that aren't Rangers fans. I don't know if me having to explain this is part of some long in joke or if you're sincerely being this obtuse. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) I see the New Statesman's projector now has the SNP with a majority of 2 with Labour and the Tories losing seats, the LibDems gaining 1 and the Greens going up to 10.

They're more Hibs and Hearts as their big team if anything. And we all vote Monster Raving Looney Party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 On the Rangers thing, I saw plenty banners with 55 on them, does this refer that they have won 55 titles? as I thought the old Rangers went into liquidation and sevco was born and they haven't won 55 titles in the last ten years. Please believe this is a genuine question and I definately do not want to stir shite on this thread, but can the old titles be transferred to the new Rangers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
