The DA Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 8 minutes ago, G51 said: The Fixed Term Parliaments Act has been repealed. The Tories no longer need to hold an election by December 2024. Equally, they could chuck Johnson and hold one very quickly, before Yes has even had the chance to make it's case. I dunno. Like I said, a lot of ways this could play out. Yes, they do. the maximum term of a parliament is still 5 years but, after the repeal of the 2011 Act, the PM is now allowed to call one earlier again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky88 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 A massive gamble by Sturgeon that probably should only have been taken with Yes comfortably ahead in the polls. It might pay off, but probably not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Brother Blades Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 Pray for Kincardine. He’s really going to get it in the neck from the members at the local golf club when he starts his evening shift collecting glasses. ”I see you sweaty socks are getting all uppity again!?!” ”Yes massa, sorry massa” Almost feel sorry for the bigoted old c**t. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MONKMAN Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 It's about time we go a chance to vote, it's what the Scottish electorate clearly want having mandated our government on more than one occasion. As a left leaning, socially inclusive country, Scotland has no place in this world shackled to the right wing establishment of the UK. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, craigkillie said: If it does go down the General Election route, then the likeliest path to success is that Labour win the election but fall short of a majority (even including Lib Dem/Green), and therefore need the SNP's votes to prop them up as the government. The SNP's "election as referendum" tactic would make it easier for Labour to sell that to their supporters, and you'd see a timescale with fully approved referendum, probably carefully negotiated to give Labour a couple of years in power to consolidate things. Here's a fun one, replace Labour with Tories there - do the SNP do it to secure the vote Edited June 28, 2022 by itzdrk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 One aspect of this that shouldn't be forgotten in this thread at least, more than the wider debate itself, is that the bigoted, self loathing toxic auld xenophobe Kincardine has absolutely no say whatsover in the debate, or the vote to come. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
