IAteAllThePies Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yes. When the time called - we shat it I felt the same as you but look at what was achieved! We went from 25% at best to 45% and the only way is up... From lunatic fringe to mainstream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotlad Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 We were allowed one because the UK government were certain it would be No. Catalunya won't be allowed one because the Spanish government are certain it will be Yes. And sadly, they were right. Apparently support for independence in Catalonia is currently polling at around 60%. When we started off we were getting about half that.

PASTA Mick Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) I'm going to join a Yes party on pay day. Leaning towards SNP but could go with one of the other two. Edited September 27, 2014 by PASTA Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty CTA Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yes. When the time called - we shat it The YES campaign had Westminster sh!!ting it. If a new rugby team lost to a very old and established rugby team 20-16 I can assure you that they wouldn't have a "we'll never beat them" attitude. We came very close this time. We will have Independence the next time. The saying "If at first you don't succeed, try try again" came out the victory at Bannockburn. Our enemy would like nothing better than for us to be downhearted, and as I've already posted, I for one, will not be giving them any satisfaction on that front in any way shape or form. Dig in, and get on with the next plan of attack. Positive, positive, positive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtscotland Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Next year's General Election will be crucial for momentum. Soft Yes voters may not turn-out or perhaps vote as per usual for Westminster - which for my neck of the woods means Labour. I'd love to see Labour getting a bloody nose. Ian Davidson is my MP and he got 62.5% of the vote in 2010 on a 54.6% turnout. Even though his constituency voted Yes it is hard to see him being defeated and this despite him being absolutely despicable. If Labour do well and Yes parties fail to make substantial inroads at General Election then the Yes movement may have a very short half-life. We don't want that to happen so we all need to make a big effort. Edited September 27, 2014 by tomtscotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want that to happen so we all need to make a big effort. The SNP don't normally do well at Westminster elections. I can see the same happening here. 2010 was a pretty poor vote for the SNP but look what happened in 2011! I can see a repeat her, hopefully an imporoved vote for the Yes parties but then romp home in 2016. What I am secretly hoping for is a Tory/Ukip coalition!

Armchair Bob Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 When SNP membership started zooming up I thought it could reach 70k but unlikely to be much higher. Let's see if we can push on closer to a hundred thousand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 The SNP would have been budgeting for around 300 grand in membership contributions this year. The extra members means that amount will be closer to, or over, a £million. If everyone was to renew next year then the SNP's war chest to fight the elections will be considerable....more than all the other parties put together by quite a distance.

How much are the SNP going to have to pay on posting stuff to all those extra members? I hope their subs cover the bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
