JustQuest Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Dear Scots, I'm from Finland. I would like to make one comment. All nationalists up here are debating whether we should exit the EU. That's because it's costly. Some people are planning to make it a budget transfer union, like the United States. That would cost us billions of euros each year. You are a rich country and you would with all probability face a similar fate. That's why I think you should Norway, if you break up with the UK. That's all I have to say. Yours is a beautiful country, been there once. thanks, Markku from Finland -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It's surely time for the blue, red and orange Tories just to form one party is it not ? No policies, no positivity, just 'NOOOOO TO THE SNP'. Let's cut out all this shit where people pretend they're voting for Labour or the Tories due to policies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactical voting is always wrong if your favourite party is on the receiving end of it. There has been plenty of tactical voting for the SNP to keep the Tories out over the years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 SNP on the way to 63 or 64 I think, assuming the handful of list MSPs returned last time get in again. Current result suggest the SNP list vote will stay that way. Close but no cigar. From a domestic government point of view I think that’s objectively a good thing. For independence it’s irrelevant, we’re on the way to comfortable parliamentary approval in favour of a referendum, but of course it won’t be spun that way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll end up with 70+ pro indy seats. Settle. Boris Johnson has made a career out of false arguments and ended up in the top job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small chance now, Aberdeenshire West is best chance and Galloway & West Dumfries is a long shot but they will need to win every seat they hold and the tories have a great chance with 2 seats.

glasgow-sheep Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The majority was always going to be highly unlikely. The entire system is set up to stop a party getting a majority. The likelihood is we will see an unprecedented 4th term for the SNP and an independence majority in the parliament with the greens. More than enough of a mandate for indy ref 2. Bring it onIt's not set up to stop a majority, it's set up to deliver a proportional parliament which it will. SNP won't have 50% of the vote on either ballot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Even if SNP did get a majority, it would be spun that they only got 47% of vote. Unfortunately we are going to be at this political impasse for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
