It's a new Tory going against her because Michelle Ballantyne fucked off to the Reform group or some shit. hmmmm a right winger, seems right 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamski Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) The list vote for Glasgow Southside. Edit to add - this came from a tweet from a local Green councillor, who mentioned that the 18.4% the Greens got was up from 13.7% in 2016 - don't know how the other parties compare though.

John Lambies Doos Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 Imagine Keir Hardie or John Smith witnessing traditional Labour voters voting for a tory party led my an eton millionaire who just spent fortunes refurbishing his flat on donors money, just to keep the socially democratic SNP out.

The Labour vote who were responsive to this message already left in their droves between 2011 and 2016. The remainder - in their former heartlands at least - are all wheezing 50+ year olds who can't accept the fact that their shan movement is finished, and hate the 'Tartan Tories' more than the Conservatives for having deprived them of their cosy council-diddy Parliament-Westminster nest-feathering routine. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The list vote for Glasgow Southside. Greens look well in the race for a second list MSP by those numbers. Only got one last time. Nearly doubled their vote while the Tories stood still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Speaking of irrelevant rumps in the Central Belt, it's thoroughly pleasing to see that the busted flush Lib Dems dropped to an utterly pathetic1033 votes on the Clyde Riviera - just 250 more than a tammy-wearing independent candidate. Back in 2007, they got 3800 votes and got 6500 - finishing second - in the same seat in 2003. They've collapsed like snow off a dyke and it's hilarious.

Ginaro Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Interesting to see some list results coming through on BallotBoxScot and elsewhere on Twitter, looks like the Greens up everywhere. This guy has two from Fife: https://twitter.com/alasdair_clark 58 minutes ago, paolo2143 said: Wouldn't there be a chance of SNP picking up a list seat in Mid Scotland & Fife if they lost Perth & Kinross South. Last time they held 8 of 9 constituency seats but this time they might only hold 7 if they lose Perth & Kinross South. Obviously depends on the numbers, but let's go by what I've seen for the list in three counts so far - Perthshire North, Kirkcaldy, Cowdenbeath. Average for those are: SNP 43, CON 23, LAB 18, GRN 7, LIB 4, ABLA 2 (I'd expect SNP to drop and CON to gain slightly in the end results.) If it's SNP with 8 constituencies again, then once again it's CON 4 LAB 2 GRN 1 in the list. By my calculations, if the SNP lose a constituency seat to CON they still won't get a list seat (instead it would be CON 3 LAB 3 GRN 1). Only if the SNP drop to 6 constituency seats will their list vote be high enough to get them a list seat. 55 minutes ago, Angus_Don said: Interesting to note that David Cameron called the EU Ref on a mandate based on a whopping 36.9% of the vote. FPTP is such a f***d up voting system You're forgetting 12.6% of the country also voted UKIP in the 2015 election to go along with the Tories. Though they only got 1 seat thanks to FPTP.
