Kyle Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 48 seats and a baw hair away from claiming Moray and Caithness to make it 50. An amazing result, especially defeating the leader of a UK party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz5 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 So the SNP didn't even make it to 50. Dear oh dear. What will be interesting is when all the votes are counted in Scotland to see if the Independence Parties managed to get more than 50% of the vote. If they didn't they haven't got a mandate for Indy Ref 2 from the people of Scotland. Cuirrently it looks like the Nationalist parties only have 46%And leave parties got 50% of the Brexit vote across the UK did they?#awkwardposition[emoji846] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those who voted for them in the North of England can reap what they sow now. A 10 year mandate given over a Brexit which could have been done by now if the Tories had been any good. Dark days ahead for England. Once again showing the futility of Scotland remaining in the Union. Well it doesn't look like the markets agree with you. The £ strengthened a great deal at the time of the exit poll announcement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It still freaks me out that the Tories are the second biggest party in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofcourse not, it's only a % of those who voted. Those who stayed at home or spoiled their papers aren't counted in the figures either. But still the SNP support is stuck at 45%. What a shame 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Tonk Man Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 45% despite all the 'stop talking about independence and start running the country' p1sh spouted by the Unionists. Yep a real struggle tonight for the SNP. Biggest mandate for any party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aufc Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 That is a reason not to vote for Labour, not a reason to vote for the Tories. But then a vote for snp was essentially a vote for labour 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I suspect it's because people didn't even bother to read the manifestos. Labours manifesto was fully costed. The tory manifesto was "get brexit done" and "no to indyref2".Was it? Seemed likr they were going to borrow like f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 But then a vote for snp was essentially a vote for labour It was essentially a vote against Johnson and we’re still going to be lumbered with him. This will make more people think about what kind of Scotland they want to live in. No one can deny that there’s a mandate for another referendum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppola Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 48 is better than I hoped for. Very interesting to see what happens next. Zero doubt Johnson rejects a section 30 order but what does a drawn out conflict between this most tory of tory c***s and the Scottish government do for the indy vote and for sentiment in Scotland? The optimist in me says it makes a pro independence majority in Scotland inevitable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote tory and get brexit done but stuck with boris. Vote snp and vote for another independence referendum but get labour and another brexit plus policies that are completely wild 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Finally caught up with this thread after getting back from the Aberdeen North count. Random (tired!) thoughts: - Lack of Touchy Thomson being fired properly made up for by watching Colin Clark's ugly coupon rapidly head south. - Had a horrid feeling the Tories would keep a few seats despite that exit poll, but I think anyone of an SNP persuasion would have taken 47/8 if offered it yesterday at 9.50. - Just got in the door to see Swinson emptied, absolutely beautiful. I don't know if this GE result is the best thing ever, or the worst. The war-gaming at Bute House should already be underway, if BlunderBoris simply says no to a S30, do they go to the courts or gamble on a majority in the Holyrood at 2021? (unlikely given Sturgeon's demands to have a ref next year). - In the short term though, there is going to be a lot of Tory far-right policy pain inflicted, and I very much doubt there will be another GE until 2024 now - no way does that buffoon chuck away that majoirty. - Arguably the most horrible job in politics now is being a Labour strategist. What the hell do they do now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
