ICTChris Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Will Alba keep on going after this? They are on a part with the Scottish Family Party and the Scottish Libertarians. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 No real change in my ward. The retiring independent has been replaced by another one. It's also nice to see former Tory MSP Mary Scanlon fail miserably. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it a bit staggering that an astute politician got convinced by the twitterati to make trans issues a main plank of his platform. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm checking now and there's an entirely different tweet in the quote. I swear I'm not going daft. And I blame div. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 SNP - 2 (nc) LAB - 1 (nc) SNP need 3 more for a majority with two wards to go. That seems likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 The Daily Heil is running that it has been "Underwhelming" for Starmer. But, after running "beergate" on page 1 every day for eight days, they finally got an investigation opened. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are on a part with the Scottish Family Party and the Scottish Libertarians. When they formed I'm fairly sure I said I thought they'd do one electoral cycle, fail to make any headway, the ship-jumpers would find themselves unelected, and then the penny would drop that they are nothing more than yet another niche party along the lines of the old Christian lot, Family Party etc. The only difference is that they are lead by a well kent face, but then so is every party that George Galloway forms, and they soon fade and implode as well. You could tell by the shambolic launch vids/zoom thingies that this was nothing more than one man's ego-trip that he'd managed to rope a few single-issue obsessed mates into, and that seems to be pretty much the same story over a year on, only they are a few elected officials lighter and appear to have made no headway. I think they might make it to the next Westminster GE, but I honestly don't see the point because the very best I can see them doing is MacAskill or Hanvey clinging on to their seat through local popularity in much the same way Independents sometimes do, but I don't think they have a hope in hell of actually gaining anything. I'd be surprised if they could retain deposits the way they are going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories have so far lost over 200 councillors and yet the media are framing it like this. Fucking tragic place we live in. Corruption is up there with Berlusconi's Italy it feels! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here they are just in direct competition with everyone. And getting well pumped. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardle is Magic Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I can confirm that I would rather vote Labour than Alba. I'd rather vote Lib Dem than Alba. I'd rather vote for raith_raver than Alba. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
