BFTD Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I like my wee outing to the church hall tbhAye, I'd miss the weird wee ritual. My maw did the proxy vote thing for me when I was out of the country years ago, and I was curiously sad about the whole thing....might have been because she voted for Thatcher once in the Eighties, right enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely busy in my station in Rutherglen. Had to wait in a wee queue and a lot of names scored out a 6ish tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE BE TRUE. No more Johnson as PM if he gets voted out of his Uxbridge as you can not have a PM that has no seat I believe. I certainly can not think of any precedence for such an event though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec Douglas Home was a Lord when he was selected to become PM, he resigned the lords and was elected to parliament in Kinross. I think that in theory someone will take the hit for him and give him a seat in deepest Brexitist rural Essex or some such. Though the humiliation may make his resigning inevitable.

BucksburnDandy Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Two votes for Kirsty Blackman and the SNP in Aberdeen North from us. Hopefully a boring routine retained seat while drama unfolds elsewhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, that's it: he wasn't an MP when elected. Surely if Johnson lost his seat the Tories aren't likely to keep him on as PM. It'd be humiliation for Johnson and all the party. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a big Brexity win and he lost his seat then they would likely have to get him a new one. It has been as much about him and his version of Brexit. In the event of a hung parliament then it would be a convenient way of getting rid of him. Where the in between the two lies would be a matter for the dark recesses of Tory parliamentary skullduggery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my problem if you can't read. You couldn't accuse him of virtue signaling if he hadn't put it in his post, because nobody would have known about it. I get that you can't accept that somebody might want to do good for others without anything in return - hence the accusation - and that indicates there's something deeply wrong with you as an individual - but that's exactly what you did. Here's your post That's your choice but I'm not sure why you feel the urge to indulge in virtue signalling over it by telling us all. Seriously. Stop trying to smarm over decent people. You can't even manage gaslighting, or trying to be clever by being disingenuous because you're as thick as utter f**k. Just f**k off mate. Seriously. f**k off.
