Also saying that they'd find it hard to stay in the party if Forbes was leader. The Regan supporter was enthused by her strategy for independence and praised the energy at a campaign event in Stonehaven. The Forbes voter seemed to appreciate her honesty, financial sustainability and went on about Angela Merkel a wee bit. Altogether a bizarre segment I thought. I hope the Regan supporter wasn't driving. What's R4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) What’s the funniest result? Obviously the very funniest result would be Regan winning, unveiling the independence thermometer and appointing Salmond as special advisor on sleepy cuddles but that’s not going to happen. I think the objectively funniest result would be a razor thin Forbes win. Total chaos would ensue as the SNP establishment would have to deal with failure and try and work out how to live with Forbes. The Greens would perhaps pull out of the coalition. Who would make up the government - bit difficult for her to appoint Yusef after basically saying how shit he is in the campaign, would others serve with her? As it stands I think Yusef will win pretty comfortably. That will be funny in itself but people trying to get back to BAU while he clown shoes his way through governing will be amusing. I wonder which Tory MSP no mark will end up being fired for making dog-whistle racist remarks about him?

Tweet 1 relates to Ferrier's seat and shows a -0.3% in SNP vote. Tweet 2 is a health warning regarding UK wide polling. However, shows the Scottish polling number I referenced (down 5%). Its not for that individual seat! Tweet 3 is saying using the Scots polling shows it tips the seat as well. Tweet 4 is BBS confirming he doesn't do Westminster projections. You are compounding a mistake here. You could just admit you are wrong. This may also prove useful, I'm not making stuff up... https://ballotbox.scot/scottish-parliament/polling-scottish-parliament Edited March 23, 2023 by Trogdor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t seem a million miles away from this thread, to be devil’s advocate. Even on here, most are agreed Regan is a silly candidate for silly people and silly posters and can safely be ignored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 The most banter outcome is surely Regan winning. Unveiling the thermometer, pulling a Catalonia and ending up in the jail or in exile in Belgium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were blocked by external order. She has left the party in a mess, I agree there. SNP not having a solid political foundation might be the real problem, though. Mhairi Black and Kate Forbes being prominent members of the same party makes little sense given the ideological ground between them. Although it can be down to a leader to define that direction and Sturgeon clearly didn't. Edited March 24, 2023 by FreedomFarter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 It's very exciting. (OK, it's not really that exciting) Humza Yousaf most popular among SNP voters but Kate Forbes leads among Scottish public, poll finds | STV News 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
