The 2016 Scottish Elections Thread

An old school pal is standing for RISE here. He was weird then and is still weird now :smiley-laughing002:

 

I know absolutely nothing about RISE, can anybody be kind and sum them up for me?

Also the football behaviour law thing is an utter farce. As much as I love Independence and a strong Scottish party, the SNP should be ashamed.

 

I voted SNP-Green and despair at the thoughtless subservient 'SNP 1 & 2' mob, but what's wrong with Mhairi Black?

 

She's a roaster is what's wrong with her, and anti-Celtic as well.

On the subject of the referendum, can I ask those who want another one in the next few years a question?

If the Yes side had won by the same margin as the No side did, and the unionists were pressing for a do-over, would you be as keen for another vote? Or does democracy only apply when you get what you want from it?

Bearing in mind that I actually wanted independence.

 

I'm not convinced leaving Europe would trigger indyref 2: electric bugaloo. I've not seen anything to suggest personally that the attachment to the EU in Scotland is particularly strong and anything other than an absence of popular Euroscepticism, which would suggest to me that Scots would go along with that we/they are told to do like we/they tend to.

 

Scottish Labour are an absolute joke, years of complacency caught up with them, and the stereotypical working class Scottish 'labour man' is long gone, Dugdale needs to stand down and a new leader brought in after the elections, she has no political skills at all, and seems to be talking down to people in any interview.

Same with Corbyn, reporters ask him a fair question for a supposed elite politician and he looks as if he has been approached by a charity canvasser, and more times than not he flat out refuses to answer or gives a passive bullshit sentence. * me right off, Labour are well out of touch with the average citizen and have a real problem about the direction and strategy for the party

 

London will make sure we vote to remain in the EU no matter how we actually vote...there is to much at stake for them to risk a vote out...they would lose scotland....and there chums in the U S of A would not be pleased with the uk leaving the uk and scotland leaving the uk.

 

The way our referendum panned out does influence my feelings about the result of the EU referendum. The establishment are on the 'Remain' side and when people are forced to vote Twist or Stick on something where there is doubt about what the consequences of their decision will be, they tend to vote to stick with what they know. Which in this case means sticking with the European Union.

 

Johann Lamont. One of the great Labour leaders.

 

Speaks volumes that Kezia Dugdale and Ruth Davidson will both need to rely on list votes to get into Holyrood.

 

Maybe they could lick each other out to feel a bit better

 

Menzies Campbell sounds so English.

As does that Tory *. Wonder if its put on.

 

Auld cow was at my door last week, i said you better get tae * before i let the dug out, so she stood there and the dug shat all over the floor

 

I take it Liebour can't count on your vote then :smiley-laughing002:

 

Just back and hopefully a low turnout won’t affect us badly, the polling station I was at are going to be tight to achieve 30% ffs , its pathetic people can’t even be arsed voting

 

Nope i actually asked her why she wasn't canvassing with the Tory candidate, she * off beeling :icon_mrgreen:

 

I was working at one in Glasgow and turnout must have been at least 55-60%

 

Belter.

By the look of her puss on the telly, she's lost her seat anyway. :icon_mrgreen:

 

I spoiled my local election vote. All * useless. Nearly did the same with Scottish parliament. Voted solidarity for no real reason. Was either them or greens.

 

Lamont's line of Scots not being genetically programmed to make political decisions will go down in infamy. Her face has hit the floor already.
