Leith Green Posted Friday at 07:07 Share Posted Friday at 07:07 (edited) 56 MPs? Now is not the time to discuss Independence. 9 MPs? It's a clear dismissal of any Independence talk. Edited Friday at 07:07 by Leith Green 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the spirit! Both the Tories and the SNP got the kicking they so richly deserved. The SNP can now reflect and try and be more competent and voter friendly before the next Holyrood elections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Scotland the snp needed this so that it might realise just how out of touch it has got. all in all no tories is a bighter future however you look at it There hace been 609 Tories elected so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted Friday at 07:15 Share Posted Friday at 07:15 This has been an unmitigated disaster for the SNP. One that very few of us saw coming and one that they need to start working to address now. However for the Unionist who are gloating or the supporters of Independence who are gutted let me repost a fact I posted earlier in the evening. At the 2010 GE the SNP won 6 seats, at the 2015 GE they won 56 seats. The current FPTP system makes swings of that magnitude very possible. Recent polls have also suggested that support for Independence is still very high. Of course 56 seats in 2015 was unjustified, it was nowhere near a reflection of how the people of Scotland voted but we have a fucked up electoral system. That same system is going to hand Starmer one of the biggest majorities ever with roughly only 1 in 3 people voting Labour. Democratic? That’s questionable. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly a Scotland quality show of defending by the SNP. But it’s hard to say it wasn’t deserved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the kicking that was given (in Scotland) was in the form of red blue Tories tells a totally different story about what is happening though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When party influencers like Gillian Sturgeon can't even be bothered voting you must surely know the ball has long been burst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted Friday at 07:23 Share Posted Friday at 07:23 In 2019 Boris Johnson,'s Tories won a massive majority. Yesterday Keir Starmer's Labour party won a huge majority. This scale of political oscillation doesn't suggest a United Kingdom at ease with itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyrExile Posted Friday at 07:29 Share Posted Friday at 07:29 When does the internal bloodletting start for the Snp? Some big hitters will be desperate to get back up the road to the holyrood trough. Wonder if the continuity/cover up wrong doing candidate will survive or the other side of the party make a play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the ones closer to polling day saw the SNP slightly ahead. Of course I could be wrong; wouldn’t be the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
