With indy under fifty, there's no mandate and I'm afraid to say that now is not the time is as coherent as it is uncomfortable. Oh and having read @Granny Danger's sarcasm, i guess it's just how you spin it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirez Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Got to love this continual nonsense of folk sticking up polls from various outlets. That should not trump the elected Parliament that people in Scotland actually went out and voted for. If you went on polls today, the Tories would be out of office and hanging would be back in fashion. Give it a rest until unionists can actually win an election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 (edited) I love when posters on here cherry pick a solitary poll and use it as vindication. Stuart Campbell levels of delusion in my view. Just one step off creating your own line graph! Edited March 31, 2023 by Trogdor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shouldn't stop folk commenting on an early one carried out since the leadership change though, especially given the suggestions that the new FM wouldn't be popular across the voting public. Maybe if Forbes had won the 'bounce' would have been bigger. Don't suppose we'll ever know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Forbes had won the 'bounce' would have been bigger. Don't suppose we'll ever know. It's not the only poll that's recent though, I could maybe forgive it, if it were. Hence my point on the cherry picking. Here's a savanta poll carried out this week. Is there really a 'bounce'? One poll doesn't constitute a 'bounce' which is precisely the point. Commenting on an individual poll to support a particular view point is nonsense and should be called out. I've just done it too! Edit - Just noticed Sophia made the same point. Great minds, fools seldom differ... Edited March 31, 2023 by Trogdor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophia Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The immediate briefing, seeking to do Kate Forbes down, is interesting to me. Glen Campbell, summoning up his very best Laura Kuenssberg, was very happy to share with the nation that as a Highland female MSP, Kate was more comfortable with an easier job. Setting aside the obvious red flag tropes, whether this is actually the case or not will be between Kate, Humza and the spin. Me, I'm not at all happy that there is a focus away from tourism and this doesn't augur well for a one nation leader 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before, but changing your view on independence based on an individual or a personality is wild. However, it would seem many folk will continue to vote for the SNP, irrespective of their politicians, as what would appear to be the only route to independence at the moment. That'll be me as well. Oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
