jockodile Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just wondering after reading the latest poll results. I know nicola has said no deal with the tories but are formal arrangements with labour, however unlikely, possible? If so it is hard to see a SNP Mp take a job in the British cabinet other than Scottish secretary. Could Nicola have a cup of tea with Alex in this capacity or is it a case of too much Xmas sherry tonight. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cove_Sheep Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Formal arrangement is possible with Labour. However Nicola has stated that they will NOT prop up any party that favours getting new WMD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, continue with your p1sh about how the SNP are a right wing party because they want to reduce corporation tax - something labour did 3 times when last in office. And now the insinuation that they'd go into coalition with a party they have explicitly said they'd never work with. What world is it that you live in?

It was a joke sweetheart And the SNP's right wingedness isn't limited to their corporation tax plans... Toots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis_trap Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) The SNP may well hold balance of power at next election. Can you imagine the reaction from little Englanders if their votes are the ones which prevent a Tory majority and thus the proposed EU referendum from even taking place. UKIP and lib dems will also hope to be in the mix. So interesting times ahead. I think Tory,SNP deal seems unlikely. But ironically the Tories have more devolution plans than Labour .... It seems that Cameron see English votes as oportunity to destroy right wing views at Westminster for a generation?

Ally Bongo Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Have stated it will more than likely be an issue by issue arrangement rather than a formal coalition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 LibDems made a right baws-up gettin' into bed with the Tories. They sold their soul for proportional representation and cocked it up. Would not want to see SNP in coalition with anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeedom Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Formal arrangement is possible with Labour. However Nicola has stated that they will NOT prop up any party that favours getting new WMD's. Is this comment for real ? How could the SNP ever possibly consider going into coalition with the Labour party after calling them the red tories for the last two years ? I bet a considerable chunk of the new SNP members have come from a labour background and for the SNP to even consider going into a coalition with the labour party is unthinkable.

biffer Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The other thing us that if the SNP hold the balance, the effective majority for passing England only laws reduces. So a minority government, governing effectively, is a real possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis_trap Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Yip. Scotland: Saviours of the EU. ...will be the view from Europe. From the UK mainstream media it will be more like... Scotland: blockers of democracy. Yip. England might vote for independence yet. If the SNP return 40 MPs then they will have to form some tactical alliance somewhere to have any influence at Westminster. If they don't then its a wasted opportunity and we might as well accept the UK political system means only a vote for red or blue counts.

iainmac1 Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The SNP won't go into coalition with anyone. You can be certain of that, they are more dangling a carrot in front of labour at the moment with no intention of letting them have it. What would happen is that the SNP would prop up a labour government on a policy by policy basis. They could also negotiate certain policies they want in return for supporting certain labour policies.

The majority that I've met recently seem to think the party in it's current form are good for Scotland, independent or not. It makes me weep. I keep telling myself that most don't really hate the poor, and are just naive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scunnered Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Thats the beauty of opinions, we all have them. Indeed. But when opinions are borne from ignorance then there's no helping some. I had to point out the SNP'S disgusting right wing budget to the North Ayrshire SNP convener... I also had to point out to the same person that the SNP don't oppose Fracking because they were bleating on about Labour abstaining on the infrastructure bill. Some nutjobs just see the word 'National' and are blinkered to everything else. Merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
