AUFC90 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 You need to ask? Not really but what does that actually mean ? We'll get Salmond back up to Scotland to take part in debates etc if the SNP lead starts reducing ? Canny see it. Salmond is by far and away a better politician but more people will vote for Sturgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde66 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I hope they get behind tacitical voting. Will be the end of the Labour party in Scotland and I for one will get the dancing shoes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I struggle to understand the logic behind it. If you are a Labour supporter in a Tory/SNP marginal surely you would want the SNP to win? I'm unsure if I could bring myself to actually vote SNP, but I would certainly not vote Tory. Some of the London based media types that seldom visit Scotland just don't understand that distaste for the Tories comes before the constitution as the main consideration for a large chunk of the electorate in an election like this. The SNP's posture of keeping Labour honest taps into that very effectively given how much of Thatcherism was embraced by Tony Blair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmothecat Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 5/1 on Labour to get 0-5 seats in Scotland. Tempted to put a tenner on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I can tell you that the "vote Tory to keep the nats out" is going down like a fucking lead balloon in Labour parts of Perth. Folk will die before they vote Tory. 1. Even unionists know they can safely vote SNP and vote No in an indyref. 2. Most Scots actually do want more powers for Scotland and trust the SNP to deliver on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QPSAFalkirkFirm Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 At the next election I'm moving down to Berkshire and standing for the SNP. Mind you given house prices down there I will need to live in a septic tank in the middle of the motorway. Copyright Monty Python. Too late. The Chinese have bought up all central reservations on the M25 and are building inverted copies of The Shard. Apartments only being sold in Yen or Roubles.

FuzzyAffro Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I doubt many would. The problem with the 'SNPout' crowd is they are in the minority of unionist thinking. Ultimately I'm not going to tactically vote for a party I've spent my life campaigning and protesting against (Tories) nor the ones who've spent the past five years supporting them (lib Dems) in order to stop a party I dislike, but ultimately are probably more likely to lead to the government I want to see. Unionists I think are split between those who believe the battle should be against the nationalists, and those who believe it should be against the other unionist parties. I can't get on board with the idea that 45 SNP, 3 Lib Dems and 2 Tories is better than 50 SNP MPs. I'd like to see 50 Labour MPs from Scotland, and if Tories and Lib Dem supporters want to tactically vote Labour I'm more than happy for them to do so, but hearing stories of Labour activists campaigning for the Tories is infuriating. Ultimately stopping a Tory government is more important than stopping the SNP. Yeah your party just spent three years giving the Tories a hand-job champ, so you're not really in a position to speak.

Mr Bairn Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 59 seats surely. Mr Bairn? Sorry mate. Popped out to the pub for a couple of pints. On a uniform swing the seats would be SNP 54 Labour 4 LD 1 The 4 remaining Labour seats would be: 1. Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill (Ashcroft had the SNP 3 points ahead) 2. Glasgow North East (Ashcroft had Labour 7 points ahead) 3. Glasgow South West (Ashcroft had SNP 3 points ahead) 4. Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath (Ashcroft had SNP 6 points ahead) So basically, the Alistair Carmichael and Willie Bain are going to hold their seats, and the 57 other seats are all in play for the SNP now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 If the Scottish polls keep on going the way they are, the Tories will be the main opposition soon to the SNP. Would that be such a bad thing? I'd prefer the Greens to be up there, but I've no problem with the Tories in opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I've already prepared myself to be disappointed come the 8th May! In fairness, if I wasn't to vote Tory, I'd be voting SNP most likely.
