That's Celticesque levels of paranoia. I doubt she even gave a single thought to the SNP when she decided this. It's a good move though. I expect the Tories to significantly increase their majority and Labour to be looking for another new leader. I, though, expect to vote for whatever Lib Dem candidate our constituency puts up.

A fair point. Would have to be utterly substantial losses for that to materialise though (IMO). Assuming these are under the old boundaries, there are probably about 7 or 8 seats that the SNP can realistically lose. The most telling thing for me is voter turnout, which highlight support/opposition to another referendum. You can certainly see voter fatigue playing its part.

madwullie Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The snp already have their mandate. Just because unionists take a big strop about it is by the by. It was written clear as day in their SP manifesto, and tbh I don't think many people could have foreseen that set of circumstances happening. Personally I think it'd be too risky to stick a new indyref2 policy and would invalidate the one the already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure taking a swipe at the SNP would be one of her motives, but certainly not the main one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Was thinking this. Surely all the SNP have to do is say a vote for them is a vote for indyref2 and then thats their mandate sorted. No more arguements about what the people of Scotland want If they do that and lose seats... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The choice is plain - Independence or permaTory rule. Had she said it would be once in a generation would it have been ok for her to change her mind?

I think the only real opposition up here comes from the Green Party, they are about the only other electable party around. Would be surprised if Lib Dems did much, they have been very quiet overall.

I suppose you prefer to believe the right wing MSM or a source which has been paid for by a political party to an actual person. No wonder democracy is fucked with all you blinkered sheep.

Enigma Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Yeah best for the SNP to keep the indyref chat on the down low. Keep to the standing up for Scotland and opposing hard brexit narratives and they'll be fine. SNP vote = vote of indyref is implied anyway not need to gamble.
