If someone's already in favour of it, you're preaching to the choir, and if they're against it, it's literally all they will want to talk about. I'm certainly sick to death with Unionists banging on about it. There's a sentence I never thought I'd be typing twenty-five years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No we don't. In fact, I very rarely hear a Scottish Independence support refer to themselves as a "nationalist". It's just an idea drilled into you by the media. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That tactic didn't work last time and it won't work this time either. If the SNP don't step up on the independence front during the campaign, they'll just alienate even more people like they did in 2017. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply want the decisions affecting Scottish to be made within Scotland. If you want Scotland to have the powers of an independent nation, you are a nationalist. Nothing emotive about it, a small n is sufficient. Same as Welsh, Basque and Catalan nationalists. They talk about the nationalist community in NI, it's just the opposite of unionist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't say "nationalist" anywhere. But that doesn't stop the MSM referring to the SNP as the Scottish "Nationalist" Party and even if it were the case, not all Scottish Independence supporters are SNP members or voters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 This is the main reason why Swinson could be in trouble. She was pretty popular in the constituency previously, but has lost a lot of that goodwill with her disappearance to Kent.Their candidate for East Dunbartonshire is a bit powderpuff, would love to be wrong but I think Swinson will win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 In 2017 the Tories won 317 seats. I reckon they will lose 25 - 30 of these this time around, including 9 or 10 in Scotland. If it’s 30 they will need to them win a further 35 elsewhere to have a majority (on the basis that SF keep their seats but don’t sit). Sadly I think that is a realistic target for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 9 hours ago, Paco said: Edinburgh North & Leith for me. There is, somehow, a small but very real possibility the Tories can take this seat. Results from 2017: SNP 19k Labour 17k Tories 15k Lib Dems 2k Greens 1k Looks like it’ll be the same five parties running again. You’d presume that plenty of those Labour votes will siphon to the Lib Dems, bumping up the Tories to second. If SNP/Green then splits the indy vote a bit more than before and you have a possibility the Tories come through the middle. Expect the SNP will hold on, there surely can’t be many people here planning to vote Tory who didn’t in 2017. But a Tory MP in Leith would be quite the tale... Well my partner & I now live in this area, so it has a least 2 more SNP voters than last time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Quick question: who's the single voter plumping for the Brexit Party?

The Natural Law Party, are they still about?SureIKnow and Mintermind are both grubby racists. Take yer pick [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 The Scottish Green Party really are attention seeking fuds. I understand them standing in Glasgow & Edinburgh to an extent....but marginal SNP held seat Perth? The Tories will be delighted with them.The climate crisis is a big deal but better putting resources into campaigning into set Scottish Parliament elections rather than another UK general election....They are a party I did have a lot of sympathy for and one I could well have voted for in an independent Scotland but not now. Will be no Green deal in a unionist Conservative led majority that will be taking powers away from Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I like the Greens but recently they’ve been annoying as f**k, calling for the gov to scrap plans to duel the A9 being one call that particularly bothered me. All for mitigating the effects of climate change and lowering carbon emissions but to make calls to scrap the duelling of one of the most dangerous roads in the country, which should have been duelled in the first place, is stupid. Anyway, this latest move has just made me dislike them even more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
