FuNsTeR Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 That was a waste of time, don't think anything useful or new was said exactly and the spiel by the record tomorrow is that Murphy won ... the fact was he spoke over everyone .... it was a farce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilser Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 dosn't matter what the girls nationality is , if she lives in Scotland she has the right to vote just like the rest of us Agreed - but I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 So did north Ayrshire. You really have complete hard-on for Aberdeen. Get a grip. Do you have mental problems ? I stay in Glasgow. North Ayrshire had a higher than average Yes vote. Certainly far better than Aberdeen. 49% voted Yes, A hell of a lot better than the pathetic 39% in Aberdeen. You fellowed EK Celt about like a lost sheep even had a nickname for him. Take it you've a hard on for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flure Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm maybe in a very small minority but I think Cook is very good and not scared to question or challenge anyone from any party. Yep. I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaid Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Not sure if that's correct for General Elections if she's from Eire. Citizens of the ROI can vote in UK elections. In fact since 1948, Irish citizens are not considered as foreigners under UK law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of Yermaw Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I am all for politicians injecting a bit of humour but Murphys pre-prepared "Lionel messi" and "mibbe aye, mibbbe naw" lines were cringe inducing. And he had weeks to prepare these no doubt with a group of "gag" writers. Cringe inducing when his unique brand of delivery is added.

Well you live and learn. I didn't know that although I did almost add (in my original post) - "unless there's a special relationship agreement". I guess there is then but I wasn't aware.

weekevie04 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Harvie - clear, coherent, and a quick way with words. Best on the night Davidson - admire her stance on the referendum/Union. I'm the complete opposite, but she sticks to her convictions, unlike the Labour mob who 'didn't want to campaign with the Tories'. Murphy - surely, no. Folk won't fall for another PR-media-trained-insincere arse. Mibbaes Aye? Mibbaes Naw? Coming from the man who toured round Scotland with a bottle of ginger backing a No vote, yet is not a Unionist! Sturgeon - did fine enough. A fairly hotile crowd, so even if she was excellent, still would be a muted applause. Rennie - the village idiot. Coburn - a fud. The crowd - massively pro-unionist going by the whoops, jeers, and a' hollerin' going around. Seen that dickheid, Pennington in there roaning about University cuts. Cook - pretty poor tonight. Usuaully he's decent. All in all - who's great idea was to have these the day after each other? And I'd ditch the audience, not because they seemed to be more pro-Union than before, but it distracts from the debate at times. The ITV format for the 7 leaders was excellent and I'd hope they'd follow this model next time. What's clear from this all is that the Union parties all now have a fall back - whenever something is not going there way, just mention independence to sidetrack from their own failing argument. At least we know where Labour and the Tories stand on Devo Max now, they don't back it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good article in The National today about who can and can't vote in Westminster elections, and how it differs from referenda, council and Holyrood elections.

A good starting point and precedent for rUK approach to Scotland following independence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sounds like she's been sniffing glue... Quite possible but she seemed of a certain age passed that stage possibly. All sorts of voters, opinions etc including some folk who (sadly) believe the fake, false lies of sumg, insincere, puppet politicians. That's why it's scary.
