Why is Willie Rennie still a thing ? Why has nobody outed him ? I keep waiting on someone thats interviewing him to ask " What are you offering" Why are you such a fvcking moron" ? In any other walk of life, any other country, any other continent he would have been shown the door But not here Quick - lets get another banal photo shoot with Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sad bit to that is if the torys had any intention of putting up a fight in shetland they would have taken so much votes from the lib dems,,, lots of fishermen who hate europe,, they will more than likely vote lib dems,,, giving the snp an up hill struggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's three different predictors. Www.Scotlandvotes.com http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html and http://www.electionpolling.co.uk/swingometer/2015 Give them a bash if you can work out coding in the background.

I wonder how Carmichael's personal vote is holding up in the light of him being a self-confessed liar. I have a feeling that the Island communities are places where your word and trustworthiness are held to be very important, more important than on the mainland. Very strong SNP candidate in place as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but i think many will just vote fir him on a constitutional basis,, with the large amount of RUK residents on the islands, especially orkney i can not see them shifting,, the locals from what i can gather mostly voted SNP ladt election but i could see them moving away from the snp if i am honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariokempes56 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 This fishing one is odd. How many active people work in the Industry ? Do they really think that all the lost jobs will come back to Scotland (England will doubtless manage to pilfer any that do return - if any do). Textiles used to be a very large employer but that industry never gets / or got the headlines than the fishermen get - coz they are all Unionist I guess??

More likely as they were all nationalist of which salmond was elected on the back of with a stance of taking us out the CFP,,, the industry employes a lot more than you would think and has the potential to be a lot lot bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Hell slap it into them if the fishermen boot Robertson out in the false hope that the Tories protect them during the Brexit talks. I'll personally get the popcorn out and laugh at John Buchan's puss when he realises he and his ilk have been sold down the river, as expected.

Dave78 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The caveat that the bottom of that Yougov poll graphic is significant i think. There was an interesting discussion at the end of Newsnight tonight about the disparity between the polling companies. Apparently Yougov are weighting on 80% of the under 24's voting. Ipso-Mori are expecting only 40% of them to vote. This is the biggest reason for the disparity. Going on historical demographic voting patterns, i know which poll i trust more. Yougov are at it.** ** I really hope i'm wrong on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I think Angus Robertson, from what I saw, did fine in the context. One of the things he had to do was focus on the Westminster issues, and appear measured and reasonable so that people in the rest of the UK wouldn't be frightened of progressive alliance.

The Tories weren't pro Brexit either officially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
