antidote Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 SNP canvasser leave your gate open as well. Not only that, the owners great British bulldog, which was wearing a union flag dog coat that all our soldiers died for in 2 world wars, escaped and was injured. Damn those nasty nats.

Rossy Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I can see the great Gordie being brought back to life again to try and help Murphy out. Only a matter of time. You're going to see Brown and Darling pretty much every day on TV for the next 4 weeks, as Skeletor gets sidelined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr mojo risin Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I still think 20 seats would be great, 30 would be amazing, not buying into any of these polls predicting Labour getting wiped out - too good to be true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to see Brown and Darling pretty much every day on TV for the next 4 weeks, as Skeletor gets sidelined. When was Darling last seen ? Pre-ref ? Doubt we'lll see him, probably still in rehab. If Brown comes up again to frighten the pensioners then he should be jailed, a devious despicable lying turd.

Auld_Reekie Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Think your right. Yep. There is no way polling is accurate. Or rather, the polling is accurate but people are either very soft (and will revert to Labour on the day) or they're outright lying to pollsters. The numbers are too mental.

Auld_Reekie Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I don't agree that the polls are accurate and I intend on putting money on Labour doing better than expected. I don't see how all the pollsters can be inaccurate consistently and across the board. The data looks real and genuine but I don't believe people are going to vote the way they are currently indicating to pollsters. And I definitely agree with putting money on faring better than they currently are. Planning to lump on myself. Anyone got some recommendations of decent punts?

McDange Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 It will be the Euro elections all over again so the dependency media can report is as "The SNP only gaining xx seats." Anything more than the current 6 is a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I'd accept that the polls are accurate if only that all polling companies have been reporting pretty consistent results for several months now. That said, I don't think it will translate into the number of seats that is being predicted. Essentially every seat in Scotland has been turned into a key marginal - or a by-election if you like - and in those circumstances a lot of local factors and the personalities of the individual characters come into play. The polls - with the exception of the Ashcroft constituency polls - don't pick this up. I reckon there will be a lot of recounts and I suspect there will be a cases of Labour having majorities of baw-hair proportions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde1998 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Something that stood out for me - 61% of 18-24 year olds are planning to vote SNP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well the polls turned out to be fairly accurate in the end re: the referendum. So I would expect the SNP to get 40%+ of the vote and Labour 30%-, as the polls have been predicting pretty much this result for the last six months.

Squirrelhumper Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Katy Clark to be returned 8 can't see it to be fair. North Ayrshire was 49% Yes. A large percentage of those will be SNP now. Labour vote will have weakened and there's a ukip option for the Kilwinning voters to latch onto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 do these folk not realise they are giving the Red Tories more ammo to fire back at us Much like egg gate, you are assuming it wasn't just one of Murphs chums, or a Labour supporter. Sticking a SNP flag on it reminds me of the time I destroyed my own shoe box fort that I'd made and wrote "Aaron done this" in crappy handwriting, just to get my wee brother in trouble.

aaid Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Much like egg gate, you are assuming it wasn't just one of Murphs chums, or a Labour supporter. Come on, the guy who threw the egg gave himself up and was convicted. If he'd been a plant don't you think it would have come out by now. That's not to say that Murphy hadn't been inciting such an incident for weeks and that they didn't make the absolute most they could do out of it, but its laughable to think it was a set up.

johnnie x Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 11/10 for 40+ ! I saw 10/11 for less than 44 which seemed pretty good to me. Might lump on that and if it goes wrong I will be pishing myself laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giblet Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Fill your boots all stat heads! http://cdn.yougov.com/cumulus_uploads/document/uaoy4ef6ez/Channel4_Scotland_Results_150409_Website.pdf 46% of people still intending to vote Labour saying they want Nicola to ask for Devo max if hold balance of power with Labour! This is being dressed up by CH4 as surge towards tactical voting, what I see is even with this, SNP still winning. Looks like Yessers are voting 90% plus for snp whilst naysayers are dividing amongst the westminster parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Channel 4 news asks could tactical voting dent SNP’s election prospects?http://blogs.channel4.com/gary-gibbon-on-politics/scotland-tactical-voting-dent-snps-election-prospects/30517 "Under this projection, near wipe-out could become [only] an horrendous rout … I did say it was a qualification, not exactly great news." "Bizarrely, the way the Labour vote has collapsed in its heartlands, seats with mind-bogglingly large majorities are more vulnerable than marginal ones where middle class supporters of the Tories (and the Lib Dems where they still exist) could save a Labour MP’s bacon."

hampden_loon2878 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I am actually starting to worry about the tactical voting, it is slowly starting to get get more air time which will only help its cause Edited April 10, 2015 by hampden_loon2878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
