CarrbridgeSaintee Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 That’s an impressive result for Reform, even taking the low turnout into account. Hard to say how it’ll end up for them not just in Scotland, but the rest of the country. They’ll eventually force the Tories to make a sharp turn right in England and Wales, but in Scotland you have a different dynamic, with a less populist electorate. Can see their rise causing rifts between the Scottish and English Tories too. For ‘the right’ to succeed up here, you’d need something new that appeals to both Tory and Reform voters IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah turnout is dogshit, but the result still follows the trend of them establishing themselves up here, despite not really making any sort of real push. As it currently stands they look likely to pick up a few seats at Holyrood in 2026. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that given the location there could have been a substantial Britnat/Bigot/Bonehead element in the Reform vote. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fascist parties always do well with a low turnout - their small band of bigots are always motivated to vote. Look at UKIP/Brexit/REFUK's "sensational" European Parliament results, where the headline was that they were the biggest party, but nobody reported that less than 10% of eligible voters cast a vote for them. The best result for them is always that people stay at home. Bit of a shocking result that only 20% of the population bothered to vote, and they could only muster 18% of that vanishingly small turnout. Going to have to work extra hard to whip up enough hate over the next five years for their right-wing alliance to disenfranchise the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
