DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I'm not shocked. That's exactly what I'm doing.. I've always voted Labour wherever I've lived in the UK and for the first time I'm voting Tory. Nothing to do with policies but purely based on the fact that Sturgeon has made it about Independence and May has made it about Brexit. On both issues the Tories come out on top. Also ....I think the SNP are disingenuous . I think their 'progressiveness' is a cloak that will be cast aside if they ever achieve Indy. They can't run Scotland effectively now . The free prescriptions/ tuition fees etc are mere bribes that will be clawed back when the reality of the Scottish National Deficit becomes our responsibility. The words and actions of their activists show the true nature of their prejudiced and exclusivist Nationalism. Just like your antipathy towards your work colleagues. Absolutely no tolerance or acceptance of their democratic right to hold a different opinion to you. The fact they don't wish to discuss the matter with you says a lot more about YOU than it does about them. They probably think you're a tedious Nationalist C*nt! Voted Labour? My arse!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like nationalising the railway and free tuition fees are fantastic IMO. I'm gonna end up having to vote for the SNP. In a straight shoot out between the Tories and SNP in your constituency, given your views above, you really should be voting SNP. Large sections of the Labour manifesto were SNP policy 10 years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 The Guardian giving a guarded 'aye' to #VoteSNP Quote But Thursday’s vote has not been called as a judgment on the administration in Edinburgh. It is about Westminster, where the SNP, led in parliament by Angus Robertson, have offered an effective voice of opposition to Tory ministers. The priority should be to thwart Theresa May’s ambitions for ongoing austerity and a version of Brexit customised to the ideological agenda of the Conservative party’s radical fringe. That requires enough Labour MPs to form an alternative government. In Scottish seats where Tory candidates run the race close, it means preferring the SNP. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jun/05/the-guardian-view-on-the-election-in-scotland-a-chance-to-puncture-mays-complacency?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Latest YG model has SNP at 42 seats, reasonably in line with Survation and Panelbase at the weekend with the SNP around 45 seats. Not brilliant. brings places like my seat in Edinburgh South West suddenly become tossups with the Tories. Alright constituency neebs.I will eat my hat if the Conservatives get within 4,000 votes of Joanne Cherry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted June 5, 2017 Author Share Posted June 5, 2017 TNS, likely ancient fieldwork. Perhaps... but all Scottish polls are weighting Torys more, due to the May effect down south.SNP will get 45% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICM who had Tories 11% ahead tonight was actually Labour ahead on voting intention but weighted to a 11% Tory lead. Someone's going to end up with egg on their face. Be fucking great to wake up and see JC driving to Buck House. The look on Queenies face would be wonderful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It would be the most SLAB thing ever if their ridiculous, seething anti-indyref2 campaign simply resulted in more Scottish Tory seats, edging Corbyn out of No10. Hopefully Corbyn would be up the road to impart a swift pie-kicking to that fucking idiot Dugdale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
