He had SNP winning 58/59 seats and I think the other (Orkney and Shetland) going Lib Dem. In the end, Mundell sneaked in by half a percent in Dumfries and Ian Murray picked up a relatively comfortable win with an increased share of the vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In context of the time that was an outlandish prediction. The amazing thing is he was so close 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Interesting piece from Stephen Bush - who is, in my opinion, probably the best political commentator in Britain at the moment - on the recent polls and whether Labour's 'surge' is real: http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/june2017/2017/06/jeremy-corbyns-surge-labours-poll-boost-real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Arkless of the SNP is the town's MP, for now at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good piece too DrewDon. I said a week or two back that Corbyn doesn't actually have to win. Limiting the majority enough to weaken the Tory ramrodding of Brexit would be enough. When the EU start playing their games and progress is not meeting expectations (it won't take long) then Corbyn and Sturgeon can have their day in Westminster. May is legendary for her fillibustering in Westminster. She and her cronies (Rees-Mogg) are bit players compared to the EU procrastinators. I wouldn't be surprised if we're back at the hustings by September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm being pedantic, but it bugs me. There's this lazy inaccurate perception that Dumfries is Tory. It's not had a Tory MP for twenty years. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 The trend by YouGov and Survation lately could well suggest that Labour may take their first lead of the campaign tonight in those polls? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
