Lex Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Thought you didn't believe in polls? The usual figure for Labour is around 30% indy, whilst the SNP are usually around 92% indy. I'm not aware of any reliable figures for the greensWas there a Labour candidate that supports independence? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 There must be Labour party voters/members embarrassed about Labour party voters/members voting Tory. It's shameless. It'll see even more people turning their backs on the Labour party. Agreed. The big lesson here is Labour in Scotland are completely and utterly dead. Even with a likeable leader who apparently did well in the debates they’ve still lost seats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Well no, that's why I literally asked someone else to share the figures. You’re a clever boy; go dig them out. If they even exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shameless. It'll see even more people turning their backs on the Labour party. I used to work with a very proud Labour voter. The last time we spoke about politics he was absolutely despondent about what was happening to the party he’d voted for all his life. That was a couple of years ago, I wouldn’t be surprised if he still gave them his vote but he seemed to be resigned to the fact that Labour were dead in Scotland and could only regain any kind of relevance through independence. I reckon there’ll be a fair few of these old school labour voters clinging on but will vote Indy if given the choice, especially seeing what’s happening down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 The most hilarious thing about this whole election....aside from watching the SNP dominate once again....is that the last pretences of Yoon party loyalty have been desperately thrown aside. Nobody who was previously a Labour, Tory or LibDem supporter gives a flying f**k about their parties policies, almost certainly because their party has no policies. All they care about is trying to stop the SNP. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less......no policies, no ideas, nothing positive. What a bleak, miserable viewpoint to have. Just disband these Tory, Labour, LibDem branch offices, form one new party.....the BritNat Hate Party, or the Anti-Scotland Party, something catchy.....and appoint a new party leader. Maybe Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, or Nigel Farage. Stop hiding behind the skirts of party names, you feckin cowards. Just come out with your Ulster-lite shit and let's see what you've got. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottsh Labour are no different from Labour down South - full of meaningless rhetoric yet really don't offer the voters anything of substance.I might not particularly like the Tories but I at least know what they stand for - the same cannot be said for the Labour Party. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
