MarkoRaj Posted Friday at 05:07 Share Posted Friday at 05:07 Curtice said that apart from in Scotland the Labour vote has stayed the same and the Tories losing votes to Reform has basically decided the election. Looking like 36% which is a mental figure for a total landslide. UK politics is fucked, FPTP in particular 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted Friday at 05:10 Share Posted Friday at 05:10 If the Tories still have 5 MPs in Scotland after tonight you'd seriously have to question the sanity of some voters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the SNP have been an utter shambles in recent times, we. as a nation, had an independence referendum and completely fucked it up. At the end of the day the Scottish electorate had the chance to forge it's own destiny and chose not to which makes the epithet 'Pathetic wee pretend country' fairly legitimate. Disappointed to be waking up in a Labour seat again, but the really worrying thing is the low turn out and rise of a party like Reform UK in a constituency like Motherwell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 'be the nation again'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted Friday at 05:27 Share Posted Friday at 05:27 It’s mad the Tories still get the seats they have done. I wonder what it would take for them to lose support in place like the borders if this absolute car-crash of a government wasn’t enough? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. A vote for Labour in Scotland was an anti-SNP, establishment protest, which is the opposite of what it should be. Penny Mordaunt said "Democracy is never wrong". On a side note, Mordaunt can use my face if she's looking for a new seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted Friday at 05:36 Share Posted Friday at 05:36 (edited) Just 6 seats In Scotland left to declare. Hands up - like many I did not see this kind of drubbing - expected the SNP to lose seats but not on the scale they have. There's a complex bunch of reasons they've lost - some within their control (the fraud investigation, the focus on peripheral issues and green shite, the ineffectual keadership of Yusaf and Swinney, and generally pisspoor campaigning) and other issues outwith their control (the momentum of Labour, the collapse of the Tory vote and the disproportionate time given to that c**t Farage). The SNP need to step back and take a reality check. Get away from the control freakery that was endemic under the Murrels, focus on the day-to-day issues that matter but still keeping independence at the forefront. They need to give voters a reason for voting for them, that voting SNP can make a difference. They can't just rely on Labour fucking things up (even if I do think they will) - there needs to be a clear strategy that enthuses voters. I just worry that with Swinney at the helm none if these things will happen and the same mistakes will happen again.

Jambomo Posted Friday at 05:38 Share Posted Friday at 05:38 I’m quite glad that the exit poll prediction of Tory gains in Scotland doesn’t seem to have materialised. It was always an odd call but still a bit of a worry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted Friday at 05:41 Share Posted Friday at 05:41 *Wakes up and checks news.* Tories wiped off the face off the planet. Good. SNP Yer-da cybernats crying into their cornflakes. Good. Douglas Ross and Rees-Mogg gone. Effing Brilliant. Red tories everywhere delighted. Terrible. Farage and his pals. Concerning but hopefully a protest vote. Anything else? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted Friday at 05:42 Share Posted Friday at 05:42 (edited) Labour with 35% share of the vote on a 60% turnout. 21% of voters voting for a landslide. There's the warning if Reform manage to increase their share of the vote if (or rather when) Labour become unpopular.
