I don't think anyone is saying they're irrelevant. Most of the 25 pages are abusing them or laughing at them, both of which are fair enough. I don't believe they have more paid-up members than the Lib Dems anyway, but even if they do, they're still polling at less than half the Lib Dems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SDP nicked 28 MPs on launch and lost almost all of them at the first ballot. Also, the membership of P&B outnumbers the Lib Dems exponentially. Not sure what to take from that, other than Eck still has some personal friends, but has an awful lot of work on his hands, considering he's now almost universally disliked by the people he has to convince. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I get the sense that a guy more unpopular than Boris Johnson in Scotland might have a wee bit of a battle to win hearts and minds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 23 hours ago, betting competition said: First poll is a disaster for the Alba Party. It may help if they tell folk what their policies are. Although to be fair, if they want to hook folk their first policy will need to be ‘give everyone in the country £10k’. Even then, to get the message to the masses Salmond will probably have to tell the press he wants to talk about sleepy cuddles and then slip it in there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I know this keeps being mentioned, but who the f**k is still voting for the Lib Dems? Did they set up some kind of autorenewal postal vote system or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the pandemic is going to take at least a decade to recover from? Just a guess at the obvious answer. You might want to ask her yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baxter Parp Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I honestly don't know. From our current government I would have expected some sort of plan, something that would be proactive towards gaining our Independence. Not the constant carrot dangling. If the SNP have a plan, then please share it, if you know what that plan is, because it is being kept secret from members of the party. And if I might ask this question? Why would our First Minister say that a referendum will be held when the pandemic is over but also claim Scotland needs to be Independent to recover from the pandemic. Why would she say something like that? What's Alba's plan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 40+ people who don’t really like politics, aren’t that interested, but feel they should vote (just to show they still exist) but don’t want to rock the boat too much, or vote for anyone too horrible. The cuddly lib-dems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it played a big part in getting the Yes vote as high as he did from the starting position it had. It's when you add the bitterness that it becomes a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Just now, Stinky Bone said: But why would we have to be independent first to recover from the pandemic, but not have our referendum until after it? Jesus...are you actually thinking she meant that we shouldn't have a referendum until the country has totally recovered from the effects of the pandemic? As I said, I'm not Nicola Sturgeon, so you might want to ask her for clarification on that. Just prepare to be looked at like there's something wrong with you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that have to do with the pandemic? Have a cup of tea, collect your thoughts, then come back to us.
