The credibility of the SNP is based on their strength in the Scottish Parliament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I agree. Theresa May always looked threatened by the DUP but I don't think Cameron ever felt threatened by Clegg. They just sat there together with big smiles. I am surprised they were not holding hands.The funniest bit from Cameron’s book is when Clegg told him and Osborne that the Lib Dem’s were going to support tuition fee increases and Osborne apparently straight up told Clegg that it was a bad idea and they shouldn’t do that. Have to laugh at how horrendous the LDs are at PR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but realistically speaking, whether Scotland sends 50 odd SNP, Labour or Tory MPs to Westminster tends to make f**k all difference anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you but that was not my point. FPTP is a flawed system IMO, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 On a serious note, it's great to see Willie Who championing the splitting of the British Unionist party vote... Carry on nobody 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyCromarty Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Thing is that Greens have one more seat than little Willie Rennie's Lib Dems at Holyrood, Greens 6 seats LD 5.seats. And I predict that the Greens will increase that figure in May at some expense of the LD's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
