Dunning1874 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 minute ago, HibeeJibee said: Btw while we're talking exit poll scepticism - my eyebrow rises even more with this prediction of Reform on 13 and Greens on 4... I can see both getting a few but those just seem to defy sense? Greens are only 2 - Brighton Pavilion (a hold) and Bristol Central which was their big target. Plaid Cymru are on 4 though. Paul Hutcheon of the Daily Record has a Tory source saying the suggestion they'll make any Scottish gains is nonsense, but that could always be expectations management. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 4 Author Share Posted July 4 1 minute ago, Dunning1874 said: See you'd have thought having only been in the job two months that no matter what happens today, Swinney will still be the leader come the 2026 Holyrood election. If the exit polls accirate though and it's genuinely the case that the Tories have won more Scottish seats than the SNP? That's surely far worse than the worst case scenario anyone in the SNP would have envisaged going into this election. He could genuinely be on a shoogly peg already if it's actually that terrible for them. I think that would be mad. Who would replace him? Kate Forbes? That’s not going to steady the ship. Replacing the leader really isn’t going to do anything positive. On the BBC coverage John Curtice just made the point that the SNP haven’t come out and said aggressively that they think the exit poll is radically wrong. I think Swinney was campaigning in pretty solidly safe SNP seats over the last weekend before polling, suggesting they were in play. I think they’ll win more seats but won’t be the biggest party in Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own X on a ballot paper - just like today. I didn’t hate Scotland when Thatcher was in Downing Street, I didn’t hate Scotland when Tony Blair’s ‘New Labour’ was in Downing Street, fcuk, I never even hated Scotland when the Rangers were voted into the league system wearing a Sevco jacket. It isn’t healthy, calling an entire nation wallopers desperate to suckle any teet of the union. I suspect many will though. Will keep doing it unless independence happens. Which looks unlikely to ever happen now. Best shot was Indy Ref 1. Fucked if I’m going to greet’ into my cornflakes forever because the result wasn’t what I personally wanted. I’ll wake up tomorrow and get on with my life. It’s Starmer and Labour’s turn to make a kunt of it now, not Johnson and the Tories, or wee ‘Dishy Rishi’…. And, aye, the SNP have indeed managed to fcuk things up in quite glorious style. Life goes on. It has to. Holyrood still has a lot of devolved power - fcuking use it more wisely please. Well, until Labour's constitutional reforms at least... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I'm not saying it'd be a good idea to force him out already, but they could get into a panicked spiral from here if it's that's bad. Which I still doubt, though it's clearly going to be bad for them regardless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
