The bigots saw through the bigotry to vote in a bigot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarwar said he is ruling out formal coalitions but in practice he has zero control. What is he going to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep given that local Labour defied the national UK leadership I'm not sure they're quaking in their boots at the propsect of a patronising lecture from the Weegie hypocrite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Still 5 too many Tories on North Lanarkshire council. At least it seems like the SNP will lead the council this time with Labour/Tory coalition not a clear majority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivo den Bieman Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Aberdeenshire & Moray both NOC as councils but the Tories clearly the largest party in both areas. The last redoubt of Toryism in Scotland north of the borders. Embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden rowies of joy on hold. I am hoping for Aberdeen's sake that the SNP and Lib Dems can work together. I genuinely wouldn't be completely shocked to see Labour and the Tories trying to form a four-way Labour/Tory/Lib Dem/Independent coalition, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow's Greens would be very foolish to do that, unless Aitken and half the clowns from the old regime fall or get pushed into their swords first. It's hardly a ringing endorsement of Glasgow's city administration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get shot down for this and it's a bit of a generalisation but that area is 'hoaching with the English ((c) Rikki Fulton) so it's not a huge surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
