Yep, that's pretty much my thoughts. Desperate for independence but not the greatest fan of the SNP. Used to be a member but since Sturgeon took over its went from a left of centre to a socialist party. Don't get me wrong I do have socialist values but I'm more on the centre. 

Too many clowns in the SNP nowadays. c***s like John Mason, could go through the list and pick a few out. 

Indeed. Their recent cuddling up to the landlords really demonstrates the left-wing nutter element of the party.

See I am happy to answer, but even the way the question was asked it's not as if you are open to reason. I don't come on here to sway anyone to my (tory) way of thinking as it's well known that this site is a long time bastion to Scottish nationalism, before that it was massively Labour. 

I vote Tory because they are the political party who's policies best match up to my political/ social/ financial views, I don't agree with every policy they have but I'm sure there are not very many folk who can say that they agree with every policy of their chosen party.

Now I have no doubt there will be comments about racism, homophobia, Islamophobia and maybe the odd not very well veiled threat about my political leanings from the nats because calling someone a Tory cvnt just shows they struggle with debate.

How do you think they've handled the last couple of days? Are you of the opinion that Cummings should go?

I don’t think Rodger is actually a Tory, although he does say he’s one.
I’m sure he posted a list of his actual political beliefs before (maybe around the last election) and had it pointed out that somewhere in the region of none of them fitted in with Tory policy...
Rodger is definitely a Tory.

I know that fine well from personal political experience over recent election campaigns in Hamilton.

I know a few. A couple of my family are Tories. The reason: they are the only party that can stop independence. It's really as simple as that. The Tories seem to be the "staunchiest" of the Unionist parties, so that goes hand in hand. All Rangers fans, which is of no surprise. The people that vote Labour are most likely people in their late 50s onward that still think they are some sort of "Party for the People" or whatever bullshit they trundled out post Keir Hardie. 

Absolutely no-one my age (mid 20s), bar the odd heed-the-baw, is going to grow up* seeing any other party as "vote-able" other than the SNP. That is of course should Scotland continue to be part of the UK. 

*I say grow up in terms of the political world, given I've only been allowed to vote in a handful of elections.

I know a couple of people who now vote Tory but it is absolutely heehaw to do with Tory policies, in fact I seriously doubt either of them could tell you any or could they tell you many members of the government.

They vote Tory because they hate Nicola Sturgeon, SNP, Scottish Independence and because they are staunch as f**k and spend Saturdays during the summer marching the streets with other adult people in stupid uniforms blowing flutes and banging drums stirring religious hatred.

I wouldn't define them as Tory c***s just absolute c***s.

That's just another example of Toryc***iness.  They  turned back the clock 100 years to a time when bigotry was accepted in Scotland added Unionist to their name and made a play for the people above. If you dont vote Tory you aint Proddy.

Absolutely agree regarding people in Scotland purely voting for them to protect the union. Regardless if they are in a minimum wage zero hour contract job or unemployed they will happily shoot themselves in the foot for it. Its a very bizarre brainwashed way of thinking.

I can absolutely understand why some people would vote tory, but many falsely believe they are higher in society than they actually are. Working on an oil rig the place is riddled with tories because they think they earn a few bob. I often try and point out that we can actually see rigs from our own that are in the Norwegian sector who get paid more than us and work half what we do.

You do realise that this is absolute pish.  Every opinion poll on voting in Scotland shows it to be pish.

There are many in the age group you mention who are not SNP voters; there will also be many more who don’t even vote.

For me the SNP is the only practical choice for this of us who see Independence as the key aim for Scotland, but don’t delude yourself that any particular group of the electorate are united behind that position.

I know of one, often it's the 'proud' Scot types too - watches the rugby, puts the kilt on, all that pish etc, and even said ''there's too many English here'' yet in his mid 60s and hates what Sturgeon is ''doing to his country,''

He's a small business owner, and I don't think he has a clue really - he thought he was voting for the local MSP and in the wrong constituency (Dundee East, but thought it was Angus) in the last election. Just hates Sturgeon yet somehow thinks Scotland is a country, but not one?

He's one of the 30% who's unmovable. A bit depressing really, and he doesn't like BJ either, but then again there's probably 30-35% stern and no point of turning No/staunch voters out there and I just write him off as that, no point in even discussing politics with him. Still, it was fairly enjoyable when the SNP won back a fair few heartland seats in December and seeing his puss.

My in-laws are both Tories but living in West Sussex that is the norm. Not fans of BJ though and say that they have been very impressed with Nicola during the Covid crisis. Father-in-law was a remainer but mother-in-law voted leave and any time we asked why ‘it’s because there’s too many foreigners’ is the answer.
Thankfully no one in my household votes for them, though at the last GE we had 2 SNP, one Labour and one Lib Dem. All will probably vote yes at any Indy ref, even my English wife who was a no last time.

That's what she'll tell you, anyway.
