dirty dingus 2,518 Report post Posted January 14 Hopefully we'll not get subjected to the heavyweight debate that was part of the last branch office leadership race. Sarwar v Leonard was the most flacid Cock fight ever televised. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inanimate Carbon Rod 5,662 Report post Posted January 14 28 minutes ago, the snudge said: Jackie Baillie only kept her seat by a couple of hundred votes here. If the SNP had fielded a big name she'd have been booted out. The uber yoons in Helensburgh kept her in. What I love about Jackie, is nothing. However I do admire her ability to directly be responsible for the closure of the local A&E in the vale and at the same time blame others for essentially not stopping her. Spectacular. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would argue that the UK would be in a far better position with him as PM managing the pandemic than the clowns currently in Westminster.

O'Kelly Isley III 3,000 Report post Posted January 14 Jackie Baillie only kept her seat by a couple of hundred votes here. If the SNP had fielded a big name she'd have been booted out. Absolutely. They didn't need a big name, only a remotely competent one. Tony Gugliano has the chance this time, TBH I don't know a great deal about him. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given that I'm not a Scottish Lab voter, not entirely sure why I'm defending him.Gordon Brown is the most overrated political figure in the UK. A youthful socialist, he and many of his Labour contemporaries soon sniffed the career coffee and became a fully paid-up Atlanticist. He bankrolled Blair's illegal war in Iraq and struck a grubby deal to enable him to become an UNELECTED Prime Minister. Since being papped out he's tried in vain to become Scotland's conscience. A superannuated fud, of appeal only to Archie MacPherson and a few elderly acolytes. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It shows how apathetic they're getting. Watching Wales just now is very like watching Scotland not long ago, Plaid are vibrant, young, full of ideas and gaining traction fast. The same thing will happen to Labour in Wales as happened here. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For me this election is essentially the snp’s last shot, they’ll get a majority but somethings gonna give after. The quality of candidates is an absolute joke tbh. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
