Colkitto Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 So,as we enter a new decade, what's your predictions for the year ahead? Will indyref2 happen? If it does will Scotland vote yes this time? Who will be the new leader of the UK Labour party? Will Leonard survive in the branch office? What sort of Brexit will we have? Will we have a deal or a hard Brexit? Will there be civil unrest over Brexit and/or Scottish independence? Any other thoughts or predictions of the year ahead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will happen next year. When it does happen I expect a Yes vote. Quote Who will be the new leader of the UK Labour party? Will Leonard survive in the branch office? Probably a female leader, someone of the Left but maybe not Rebecca Long-Bailey. As for Richard Leonard, maybe, dunno, who cares? Does it matter? Quote What sort of Brexit will we have? Will we have a deal or a hard Brexit? Brexit will happen and not much will change at all. There won't be a hard Brexit, there will either be a deal or some sort fudge about extending the interim period until a deal is agreed. Quote Will there be civil unrest over Brexit and/or Scottish independence? No. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the referendum and result won't be accepted. UK Government will ignore it, but we'll slip them the middle finger and be on our merry way. 1 hour ago, Colkitto said: Who will be the new leader of the UK Labour party? Will Leonard survive in the branch office? Somebody with a Scottish accent to give the impression that we're all one big happy loving family. No. 1 hour ago, Colkitto said: What sort of Brexit will we have? Will we have a deal or a hard Brexit? A brexshit. A hard Brexit dressed up as a deal. 1 hour ago, Colkitto said: Will there be civil unrest over Brexit and/or Scottish independence? I hope so. The lack of physical violence has been a real let down this decade. 1 hour ago, Colkitto said: So,as we enter a new decade, what's your predictions for the year ahead? Carnage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does will Scotland vote yes this time? Yes indy ref 2 will happen it's inevitable. However my concern is the UK govt try and impose a 70s devolution type clause ie. 60% yes and 50% of electorate. If it's same rules as 2014, yes will win easily. Who will be the new leader of the UK Labour party? Will Leonard survive in the branch office? As per previous comments I really don't care tbh, it's an irrelevance unless they are 'yes' leaning. What sort of Brexit will we have? Will we have a deal or a hard Brexit? Some fudged deal will happen by Dec 2020. We are definitely leaving Jan 31 2020 Will there be civil unrest over Brexit and/or Scottish independence? Small demonstrations and pockets of violence from yoons/sevco types after yes vote. Any other thoughts or predictions of the year ahead? I think it will be a good decade for Scotland.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 [emoji23]Kelly as leader of the Scottish branch office would be hilarious - he looks even more gormless in person than on TV btw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I reckon Leonard will go around springtime, he's never come across as positive during FMQ's. Who the 11th Scottish Labour leader will be is anybody's guess As much as I want Indy ref2 I cannot see it happening in the coming year, Alex Salmond's trial will dominate the beginning of the year and over shadow any Independence discussion, with 14 charges against him there's no doubt this will harm the SNP and in turn affect possible new party members. Boris will bomb, probably by some personal scandal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Salmond case will have zero impact on support for independence, as they're 2 completely different things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Salmond is virtually irrelevant to the Indy debate now, apart from permanently seething uber-yoons who wouldn't vote "yes" in a million years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What country do you have in mind for that? Only place I can think of where that might happen is the former East Germany, but I think a post-Merkel CDU will eventually grow tired of hooking up with the SPD and start doing right-hard right coalitions with the AfD eliminating the need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a deal. Not sure we'll have Indyref2 but I'm pretty certain it'll be a much bigger No if we have it this soon. Who leads the Labour party is irrelevant because the party can't even describe the problem which has seen them out of power for almost 30 years of the last 40, let alone attempt to propose a solution. I particularly like the way they seem to think the left wing shite is still the way to go. Bonkers. It's going to be a fantastic year but then I have always been a positive person. No doubt endless scores of others will spread poisonous negativity as usual, trying to bring everyone down to their level of unremitting misery, doom and gloom but if you can avoid that type there's always plenty of opportunities waiting to be spotted and stuff to look forward to. Examples please... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you start with the very post you responded to where I clearly expressed a positive personal view of the next 12 months. As for opportunities always being around, that is always true. Seek and ye shall find. Or don't. It's your choice. I'm asking you to expand upon your reasons for believing that 2020 will be a 'fantastic year' I don't share your optimism. Here's your chance to set out the reasons for your belief. Please share... Edited January 2, 2020 by lichtgilphead speellign 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
