D Angelo Barksdale Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 A hung parliament would be #scenes. Can't see it though, labour are going to take a pounding down south. The SNP will scoop 50+ seats again up here, another nail in the union coffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The only hope for Labour is to take the SNP offer of support this time. They're finished up here. Will be scenes when Corbyn is reelected after the election after the PLP offer up another sacrificial lamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Fucking bricking it. If the SNP lose just one seat I can see it being used against us. Tories are going to absolutely whitewash England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Wishart has a 10'000 Majority that the Tories have to scrape back here. Can see Murdo Fraser making an attempt at it and dramatically failing tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kejan Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Noticed that Mundell's majority is about 700 votes and the Greens got just under 900 the last time - roughly. Would be amazing if that wee naff ended out. I think the SNP will lose seats though. The border regions, East Renfrew, a seat in Edinburgh? Although feck knows, Edinburgh was 75% remain. SNP should return a shed-load of seats, but you just know if they lose e.g 5-6 it'll be 'Tory fightback' pish in the Scottish media. Would love to see Carmichael and Murray out though. More chance of Murray losing you'd imagine, but then again, nae idea. Sure we'll get a poll in the next few days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I thought Murdo Fraser was an absolute w**k that no decent sane person could like until I saw that one of PnBs very own Dumbarton supporting good guys had favourited one of his tweets on my Twitter timeline. [emoji20] Can see Tories coming very close in a few places as the Unionists rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgow-sheep Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 You'd think, taking the Holyrood elections into account that the Tories will be confident of taking all the Border seats, Aberdeenshire West, and an Edinburgh seat and maybe East Ren (although will need a total, and highly likely, collapse in the Lab vote). Lib Dems perhaps making gains in Edinburgh and Fife. Labour total wipeout? Of course that's if folk vote primarily on Scottish politics, if it's mainly about Brexit then Tories could struggle badly to the benefit of the LibDems. Worst case scenario for the SNP is still high 40s though surely. Finally what happens to McGarry and Thomson, they still don't have the whip so do they stand as independents and if they do will the SNP stand against them?

cyderspaceman Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Labour and LibDems (and Greens) should get their act together and collude to oust the tories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmc Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Hung parliament isnt completely out if the question if brexit voters split between kippers n tories n remainers down south voted tactically.....its nor likely but not impossible. Pretty big risk for may plus she has blown away any anti ref arguments she had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 My Scottish predictions: The SNP will hold onto the vast majority of their seats. They could well win Edinburgh South from Labour. The Tories could win Berwickshire and the Lib Dems have a chance in Edinburgh West depending on who stands. The Tories will be able to concentrate on winnable seats but the SNP majorities are too big and they haven't done anything to cause their vote to crack. I'd bet their voters and activists will be pretty motivated to turn out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEADOWXI Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Scottish Predictions Lib Dems - 1 (Northern Isles) Tories - 3 Mundell or a borders seat plus One in Edinburgh and one in Aberdeenshire or Perthshire Slab - ZERO Rest - SNP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The only chance Corbyn, Labour and the non-sociopaths have here is for the Labour Party to cut their immediate losses in Scotland and call for a progressive alliance across the UK. Let the SNP retain Scotland, work with the Northern Irish parties which fear what Brexit might mean for them and go in hard on the Tories failing Britain. The policies Corbyn's announced this past week have broad support across the country and show the Labour Party can do policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menzel Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 No point in doing this in Northern Ireland unless Labour would be desperate for an alliance with a party that has three seats and is close to them anyway. Shinners don't take their seats in Westminster, the UUP are in meltdown and the DUP back Brexit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
