ICTChris Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Well, as predicted, going by BBC Scotland you would have thought UKIP actually won last night. They scraped the last seat. I think UKIP getting a Scottish seat is the big story of this election campaign in Scotland, can't blame the media for focusing on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The old Liberal Party ran in the Scottish elections in Edinburgh last time out. I would've voted for them, mainly in sympathy, but I voted for Margo MacDonald instead, I think. They're a bunch of cantankerous gits, second only to the cantankerous gits that sit at the back proclaiming Armageddon at Lib Dem conferences.

As in armageddon for the party? Those cantankerous gits would be correct then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulathame Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I was watching the results announcement from edinburgh earlier, and was wondering why the home addresses of the candidates was been given out, Then the ukip guys address was given out as london.

YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I consider myself pretty politically aware and until Thursday I'd never heard of them.I have a few racists on Facebook so I have a vague knowledge of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If the Lib Dems actually fold rather than just take a significant kickingin 2015, I'll more than likely drop out of party politics all together. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Just noticed that the majority of Britain First's 20,000 votes came in Scotland. That is something I do find really strange. I only first heard of them a few weeks ago, did they start in Scotland or something? Parties like that I'd normally associate with places like Burnley or Dagenham.

Newbornbairn Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 You'll be able to count the number of seats UKIP get in the General Election on one hand. Mibbes. Haud on, are we talking normal hands here or Fifer hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think they only had candidates in Scotland & Wales. They were available on my ballot in London. ETA: Actually, my mistake no they weren't. The sheet was so long and there were so many nutters it was hard to keep track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I consider myself pretty politically aware and until Thursday I'd never heard of them. Neither had I, which is why I was pretty astounded that they received nearly quarter of a million votes. Think it was a cynical ploy. Cost UKIP another seat. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27572233 Mike Natrrass is the leader of the An Independence From Europe party and he has picked a couple of tidy ladies to stand for his party. Check out Sherri and Laurence on the right hand side of the website. http://www.aipmep.org/ The party is fielding 60 candidates across England, including Mr Nattrass and current Dutch MEP Laurence Stassen, but is not standing in Wales or Scotland. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27493250 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So UKIP polled 10% in Scotland and 17% in London. Yet to listen to the BBC, you'd think Scotland was welcoming UKIP with open arms whilst all we've heard about London is that they are unlike the rest of England and Wales in rejecting UKIP - there must be something different about London because they're rejecting UKIP. But there's nothing different about Scottish voters because they voted for UKIP just like everyone else. Hmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 So the SNP have more MEPs than the Lib Dems...across the UK. Remember when this seemed funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
