Boo Khaki Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 2 minutes ago, Donathan said: That’s exactly why. Edinburgh South has the largest English/Welsh population of any constituency in Scotland so the SNP are never expected to do well there. Only way I can see that changing is when more of the old Labour die-hards in the former mining communities to the south of Edinburgh pass away. It'll still be a mess, but it should erode the safety net a little bit more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who the independent candidate was or what he stood for as got no leaflets or anything and he seemed to not have any presence online. I didn't know about the Tory at that meeting right enough. Independent candidate is the fella from the Save Calais Woods' group, which has a decent following. I'm sure that his votes will have raised a few eyebrows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retiring independent has been replaced by another one. It's also nice to see former Tory MSP Mary Scanlon fail miserably. Morven Reid stood on a platform of her being local and, erm, living there. She had almost zero policies / aims. How did over 600 folk think she was worthy of a vote? I think she's got in by default pretty much. The Lib Dem and SNP candidates were always going to be elected and the other Independent candidate appears to have done no campaigning at all. So having no policies seems to be quite a good strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Loving the Alba seethe greeting that SNP supporters never game them 2nd vote as they're a pro indy party. Mate, I'm as pro-indy as they come, but in a local election I care more about when the Kirn Drive cowp's opening up again than when we get an independence referendum.

GAD Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 It doesn't feel like this is the promised "difficult day" for the SNP. In fact it looks like it's going pretty well. Am I missing something or is it too early to tell? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many different elections do the SNP have to scoosh before we hold another referendum? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
