John Lambies Doos Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I reckon I’ll start my own party. It will be a whole new world post Independence and the opportunities will be limitless. The Scottish People’s Front has a nice ring to it.The world has had enough of angry elderly men looking for square go's. Not sure it would take off imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlandmagyar 2nd Tier Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 After independence the SNP will splinter. Left wingers from SNP and Labour will form a new party. Tories wont splinter. LibDems will become an even smaller Tory lite rump than they are. And a few SNPers will join the Tories. Tories to win first Independence election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye totally man, the country that hasn't voted Tory for 70 that's SEVENTY years will vote Tory first election post independence, after getting away from Tory rule being one of the prime motivators for that indepenence. Did you think that through? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume we would have PR so a Tory majority is a none starter. A centre left coalition would be my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I'd like to say whichever party is the most economically left and socially liberal. The reality is that I'm going to vote for whoever has the best design for the border guards outfits. Given their previous affiliation with Hugo Boss, this may end up being the tories or Farage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you think that through? Of course I did. They will be the only party not to splinter and would probably be better organised and softern their policies to Scottish fears. They may not form the first government alone, but they may form a coalition. They will still be hanging around like a bad smell. There are enough Tories in Scotland to make them a threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there aye? Is that why they're polling 16% and haven't won more than 28% of the vote here in half a century? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoustie Young Guvnor Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 There's no point being dishonest, everyone knows what that really means is you're a raging British nationalist and are having to invent hysterical nonsense to justify your opposition to independence rather than admitting its simply because you're a raging British nationalist. I don't mind, I'm a raging Scottish nationalist, complete fundamentalist on the issue, there is no argument any human being who has ever lived could put forward that would make me even consider my position for a fraction of a second and I'd happily paint my face blue if I thought it would help. You see how easy that is? Its liberating, you should try it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagyar 2nd Tier Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It will be a different environment in an independent Scotland. Fresh start, new style Tory party. Dont be so sure or cocky. Thats how surprises in politics happens. Complacency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I don’t think the SNP will splinter after Indy, not immediately at least. They’ll hang on for a few elections under the guise of protecting independence from the Tories, who will presumably campaign to rejoin the U.K. for a bit. After a while, that’ll die down as you have a load of voters who’ve never known anything other than being independent coming in, and most of the ultra-unionist vote will be be dead/in Wales. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why did I vote SNP in the last election, will do so in May and yes in any future referendum. You crack on. You are the kind of rabid nationalist that is as bad as a rabid Brit. You turn waverers off from voting for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 The party least likely to split post indy will be Labour. The ultra unionists will split from the tories to form their own party. The remaining tories will rebrand if they had any sense, and probably do ok. Occasionally winning power in a coalition with centrists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Anti EU Tories and Labourites will join up like minded Nationalists with a plan for sending trans people and anyone who looks a bit funny to exile in St Kilda, just to be on the safe side. They'll form a coalition against another bloc of the more progressive and pro EU Labourites, Lib Dems, Greens and core SNP. With PR no party will get a majority again, so there will always be a need for pacts and coalitions like in most civilised European countries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
