Trump used the "Build the wall" slogan to help him get elected. Looks like Boris has taken a slightly different approach. As you say WTF. But it will probably work.

You'll get a pretty good price on that. Too many seats are on a knife edge and too close to call. I think you might be surprised at the number of folk who are liking the "Get Brexit Done" slogan.

weekevie04 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I have no idea how this will go. The polls don't look great (UK wide) but I think the polls will be out again come the exit poll. As for the SNP, I no know 7 people who didn't vote in 2017 or voted elsewhere backing the SNP. No doubt in those former SNP heartland seats there will be another 7 people voting Tory so it'll be ticht ; but the people I know - 4 didn't vote in 17 (were SNP/Yes ; but like many for some reason, didn't vote like many SNP voters didn't turn up) the other 2 were Labour and Green ; and I think there person has voted TWICE in his old age of 36 as he's very non-political but his words from Saturday afternoon were "Kev, I'll need to vote SNP to get the Tories out," I've backed the Tories in Aberdeen South, Angus as an outside bet - as in if it remains blue at least I'll make some money on the back of it. Some of those SNP-Tory seats will be incredibly tight ; but the Tories have turned in to the Coke Zero version of the DUP basically their only election bump is ''No tae Indyref2'' Then again, I had a bad feeling about the EU election, but it turned out well for the SNP - mostly thanks to the Brexit Party though for standing. Nae Brexit Party in many seats, so we'll see. Those former SNP heartland seats will be super tight, down to the wire I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Well put it this way, if the SNP do not top their 35 seats of 2017 then any talk of IndyRef2 should be put on the back burner for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I just can't get my head around anyone in Scotland voting Tory. They hate us with a passion yet won't give us independence. This simple dichotomy proves we have the finances to survive on our own. I can understand voting for just about anyone else but not the Tories. They offer nothing positive and are run by the biggest group of liars, charlatans, rogues and incompetents I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every election in Scotland has to be about independence until it is achieved. Independence supercedes Brexit - if it does not for independence seekers then they evidently don't feel strongly enough about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The problem is that too many dafties will continue to vote for Scottish Labour In this election every vote for anyone other than the SNP is a vote against the SNP because as ive said before every staunch Unionist is voting Tory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 And a vote for Tory, Labour or Lib Dem in Scotland is marked down in Westminster's books as a clear unequivocal vote in support of the union. It will be used by Westminster to prove Scotland has no mandate for a second IndyRef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nagging away at me as well given that the opinion pollsters got it badly wrong two years ago.

hampden_loon2878 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 7 hours ago, ThistleWhistle said: I’m worrying about that too. ‘Get Brexit done’ is a far more simplistic message than whatever the SNP are trying to convey and, although there has been minimal kickback against it being obviously bollocks that it’ll be finished short-term, I don’t really think people care to be honest.

exile Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 There's an uncanny sense of deja vu. It almost looks as if it could be a stalemate, some sort of tight tory majority, a late Labour swing, but not good enough to dislodge Johnson. Maybe after all we need Brexit to happen before anything will seriously shift. Then again the polls said indy vote would go up if Boris got in, but the impact is hardly evident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
