dogmc Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Interesting to see how everyone spins this. SNP still romped it despite major losses, Labour still behind Tories who have actually lost their majority. Ruth can't spin this as a win for Tories and a loss for SNP, surely? She wont need to the media will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Question I saw on twitter - would EVEL hurt both the Tories with their increased Scottish contingent AND Labour propped up by the SNP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Decided to go to bed after midnight and pleased to wake up to find the exit poll seemed pretty accurate after all. I see there's 14 seats left, what's the likelihood of tories/dup sneaking a joint majority? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People all over Scotland voting for a party that supports a hard Brexit, a rape clause and a dementia tax. Shameful. As much as the Unionists will spin this, the independence dream is not dead, far from it. What the f**k has gotten in to people. 12/13 Tories is fucking shameful.

Bully Wee Villa Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Tory/DUP majority pretty much guaranteed. Especially when you take into account the seven SF MPs who won't take their seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarapoa Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Tory/DUP majority pretty much guaranteed. Especially when you take into account the seven SF MPs who won't take their seats. Think it was the UUP who would go with Tory regardless - DUP will likely not be so easy, especially with the 'border' issue ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories will have a majority on EVEL issues I think - they already have 291 of the 533 English seats with 9 still to declare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chlamydia Kid Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Fantastic night. SNP done far worse than anyone ever believed possible. Scotland having a big influence on the UK government to undermine the SNP argument in the best way possible- voting Tory. Independence gubbed. Country will need to shift to the left and the blairite/Cameron types now an irrelevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Corbyn should be in about slab if his chances for no10 were ruined by kezia n pals standing aside for tories in selected seats up here. Interesting what was said earlier about evel now coming into play. Shows how nonsensical a piece of legislation it was. Would be hilarious if it ended up stopping tories imposing some of their nastier policies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
