Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Does it break down what the non-SNP constituency seats are? I'm desperate for Edinburgh West to not vote in a Lib Dem, being represented by that smug c**t Cole-Hamilton is just the worst.If Shetland and Orkney are separate seats id bet on them being the two fucknugget democrat seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he spends all day on twitter making snarky remarks towards SNP supporters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 The SNP probably aren't far off where I am on the political spectrum. I still think it would be a bit of a shame for the Greens to lose any influence. An SNP Government that occasionally has to look a bit to their left is a good balance for my taste. The contrarian in me would enjoy another majority though. SNPeeeeeeak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Reckon Labour will improve in Scotland (Whether or not that translates to even a single seat gain, I don't know) as the media already seem to be right behind Keir Starmer and his 'owning' of Boris Johnson purely because he asks him simple questions and tries to be his pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Id stick money on one of the borders seats, ayr, east ren or edinburgh somewhere. No way will they keep Edinburgh Central. Ruth Davidson only got 30% of the vote here when she was party leader. Angus Robertson and Joanna Cherry are both trying to get the SNP nomination. The biggest Tory Majority is Ettrick, Roxburgh and Berwickshire which John Lamont took by 7,700. He left for Westminster and then Rachel Hamilton increased the majority to 8,300 So if they’re projected to only hold one seat it will be that one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 It’s just as well we have a fair PR system in Scotland. If it was FPTP there would barely be an opposition. Whilst hilarious it would not be very democratic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Not that it should matter but Alistair Jack said they'd only entertain another independence vote if the SNP got an outright majority at Holyrood. Cynical, disrespectful of the Greens & their voters and they'll just claim amnesia when the SNP do it anyway.Yeah, but say 30% of the snp list vote went to the greens, would that mean more list seats for each party or is that impacted by the constituency seats? Could be interesting. The tories once said ‘all it takes for independence is a majority of snp mp’s at Westminster’, their position shifts to suit their mewling staunchness. Id consider supporting a ‘wildcard’ indyref2 should it be denied by WM in the event of those sort of numbers being returned to holyrood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wasnt sure how the answer fitted my question tbh. Yeah, I think there is a fallacy (understandable in London metropolitan Unionists who genuinely cant fathom why anyone would live up here, let alone assert different priorities) that Scottish voters can't make a difference between Holyrood and WM elections. Starmer could be the literal reincarnation of Marx and he wouldn't put a dent either way in Scottish Labour numbers. People understand they are voting for Richard Leonard, not Keir Starmer and will respond appropriately. The Tories under Colonel Cosplay had a dim and crude understanding of this effect, and tried to build a distinctive voter base up here with their own priorities that did not look much like your typical Shire Tory. Ironic from the most arch Unionists to say the least, but that has now ebbed away under Jackson Used Carlot Edited May 17, 2020 by renton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Baillie's in charge of list selection and electoral strategy I'm tempted to put money on Labour to drop into the single digits. 4 hours ago, MixuFixit said: Not that it should matter but Alistair Jack said they'd only entertain another independence vote if the SNP got an outright majority at Holyrood.

It's only because they know it's more difficult for the SNP to get an outright majority and, aye, if they do it'll be dingied.
