Won't be as much media expectation on SNP for June General Election. ie media will spin tory this and tory that, but SNP will still return 50+ seats thus a whopping mandate for indy 2 You're sounding a bit like the Iraq information minister in this post unfortunately, although your 2nd point is (partially) true. If the SNP fail to take a majority there (as now looks likely) that'll be spun as a failure in the media. I can't see the SNP picking up as many as 50 seats either tbh.

My brother is good mates with one of the sons. Not the one standing for election. You might recognise the father's name from the letters page of the Inverness Courier during the 2014 referendum. Spamming them with fucking nonsensical pro-union letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmc Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'm predicting the Lab/CON administration will continue with a higher proportion of Tories to Labour. The SNP cannot get a majority now unless independent cllr's Spiers and McCabe win their wards (quite likely for both). The Greens aren't performing well here either. Bo'Ness was 1 SNP, 1 LAB and 1 CON. The Labour Cllr that walked out was Linda Gow of Larbert and Bonnybridge Fuxake....how anyone here would vote to continue with these clowns in power is beyond me.....

One less councillor in Central this year and I'd imagine it'll return three of those four. It was also the ward that had the largest Green vote in the Highlands in the Scottish Parliament election apparently. Inverness Central - 1. Richard Laird - SNP 2. Bet McAllister - Labour 3. Janet Campbell - Independent All were current incumbents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNP will poll 42-46% in the FPTP election; 50+ very achievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 This is my first count I've been at, and the amount of people who tick or cross instead of number is incredible.SNP voters especially have been chucking away votes by crossing both their candidates without any numbered preferences.

She was part of the campaign that delayed the building of the AWPR, cost taxpayers millions as a result and had ridiculous ideas like building large chunks of the AWAP as tunnels. She has run various initiatives and projects in the council that have achieved very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
