University areas are absolutely the best chances of greens winning a fptp seat. And the votes don't belong to the snp. Why don't they pull out and back Harvie? Why would the incumbent MP pull out to back someone from another party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 He voted for who last election? He voted SNP. Admitted it himself, was tactically trying to keep Labour out thinking GE overall would be close. Muppet thing to do.Just vote for your party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The SNP and Greens are different parties. I think I feel the same way towards the idea of pro-yes parties not running against one another as I would if pro-no parties did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrewDon Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Harvie and the Greens are absolutely within their rights to stand, but I do hope that some Green voters in Glasgow North will consider backing the SNP - even if they have to hold their noses whilst doing so. I would be very surprised if Grady lost, mind; a reduced majority is almost a certainty, but he should be fine. If the SNP lose in Glasgow North, I fear it will be a long night. I'm sure Harvie said it is a decision for their local Green branch in every constituency whether to stand a candidate or not, which seems like a sensible and democratic approach to take.

I'd have thought Harvie might go against one of the MPs who haven't impressed - or maybe where there's been some local issue they've fucked up. That would make more sense. If the sitting guy is fairly popular then he's Harvie will obviously struggle - even with folk who support his party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
