King Of Paisley Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well I would be surprised given that Clegg is hotly tipped to lose his Sheffield Hallam seat. If he goes then God knows how the rest of them will hang on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well I would be surprised given that Clegg is hotly tipped to lose his Sheffield Hallam seat. If he goes then God knows how the rest of them will hang on. I am just guessing like other folk are. I will be very surprised if SNP get more than 30 seats. I still think it's more likely to be around 20. I will be very surprised if LDs get less than 20. So, I think it will be pretty close between the two parties.

As I've said before, I don't see any reason why the SNP vote shouldn't be huge - a GE is not an independence referendum so there's no life-changing risks involved, and the electors of Scotland, unlike those in England, have a viable alternative to the parties comprising an unpopular government and a Labour party that is doing its damnedest to appear unelectable. I can see the Lib-Dems being decimated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Scotland on Sunday is awful today. Full of anti-SNP pish, lies, scare stories and random shite. Thank nobody reads that and those that do would never be SNP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Of Paisley Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Orraloon - I'm guessing that you are tempering expectation, which is totally understandable. I for one don't believe the SNP will get 50plus seats as some polls are suggesting. The bookies are offering odds of 11/10 for 40-45 seats tops and the bookies aren't usually wrong. I think the final figure will be 40 seats Even 30 seats would still be a massive result although you'll get the usual apologists within MSM saying that such a result would be disaster given some of the opinion polls. However, hoping that, as Donny says, there is no reason for a huge SNP vote and wipe the fukkers out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnbruman Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Just caught a wee bit on State Broadcaster 24 hour news - different journalists from around the world discussing politics. Subject turns to SNP and the topic of future independence. English guy who works for German magazine says its just as well for Scotland that they voted no otherwise with oil price Scotland would be going cap in hand to IMF - another journalist emphasises that - no counteract from State Broadcaster presenter either. Watching ll this ignorant guff about politics is making me angrier than Mario watching Question Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertsscot Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Used to quite like reading the SoS, sensible length for a Sunday read but the cover below was the final straw, haven't bought it since, can't see me buying it again: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Scotland on Sunday is awful today. Full of anti-SNP pish, lies, scare stories and random shite. I saw that. I used to buy and read the Scotsman and get the SOS just about every week. Can't stand the paper now. Only ever look online sometimes for the sport or just to see the comments of some of the deluded unionists all bigging each other up with anti SNP rhetoric.

I can see the Lib-Dems being decimated. Just my natural Scottish pessimism. We are not genetically programmed to be optimistic. And, I don't believe that opinion polls are designed to measure behaviour, they are designed to modify behaviour. And, there are far more Tories in Scotland than a lot of folk realise. They hate the SNP more than Labour. Of course, I hope I am wrong about all this. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one t in scotland Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 That weasel Rennie needs to be pressed if he'll be propping up a Labour or Tory government and make him sweat. Despite the mountain of bumph he sends through my door that fundamental point is strangely never addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiefaetheferry Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Fkin wow Doesn't even factor in the 'full impact' of the Leaders debates apparently. Could be an indication of an even greater gap to come. I'm off to Skybet for 50+ odds ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 44 seats or more 10/11. 51 or more 5/2. Hmmmmm..... Still the same odds on offer. I'm getting on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
