irnbruman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 If SNP does get loads of seats but has no influence whatsoever - due to a different combination of alliances - will be very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 After these results, aren't Labour on a predicted zero seats? With the Tories and LibDems on 1 each. That's some collapse that I think wee Willie Bain will be the last man standing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I am still sticking with about 20 seats. The thing is, that even with 40+ seats, I'm not sure what the SNP are going to do with them. Lib Dems got 57 last time and it hasn't done them any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Projections Glasgow East McGarry - 15766 Curran - 12698 East Renfrewshire Murphy - 18668 Oswald - 17263 Lanark & Hamilton East Crawley - 20621 Hood - 16670 Baby we can talk all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere...

Auld_Reekie Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I think wee Willie Bain will be the last man standing. Im pretty sure I seen someone on Twitter state that current swing relative to 2010 would see NO Labour seats in Scotland. 1 Tory, 1 LibDem. The rest SNP. NO Labour seats. Let that sink in for a moment. That's not going to happen. Not a chance. And that makes me question some of this polling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always had doubts about polling too but you can't deny that they got it right for the referendum. But if I switch on the results programme at 10pm and see any of those Scot-Lab troughers looking relieved after some kind of unexpected postal vote landslide the tv is going straight back off again and I'm going to bed. And I'm giving up on Scottish society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocky Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I just want SNP to have more seats than Labour, for Scotland's party to be the biggest.. I cant take in these figures in... I will go for SNP 31, Labour 22, Libs 4 Tories 2 ...... For Mhairi to beat Doogie here would be unbelievable... I really cannae see it. I can see this being 1992, again sorry to put a dampner on it..... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Broon got 29,000 votes in 2010. That's a majority of 23,000. 65% of all the votes cast. OK, he isn't standing this time, but there is no way that seat can go to SNP. Just totally impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 (edited) Broon got 29,000 votes in 2010. That's a majority of 23,000. 65% of all the votes cast. OK, he isn't standing this time, but there is no way that seat can go to SNP. Just totally impossible. tut tut, do you not know about the 'swing'? one vote less for brown sure... but if the same vote is then one more for the snp. so it just takes half the 23,000 to defect and it is a dead heat (assuming the snp were 2nd). considering that Gordon Brown is the essence of quisling, a modern day parcel of rogues wrapped up into one parcel of utter egotistical ness I do think it is possible that 11,500 people realize they are voting for the absolute worst of sell-out Scotland in voting for that hideous old sack of vanity. But probably not, they have sucked his disease mottled evil old kock this long why break the habits of lifetime.

Lamia Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Being a pessimistic bassa, it's certainly feeling like that. It's getting to the point where election night can't possibly live up to the hype. Im still scarred by September and with three weeks to go, the SNP can't possibly sustain this surely?! The numbers are a total mind-f*** and for all those seats to go SNP in the same election, would be like your number coming up in the lottery... twice. Im still sticking with between 30-40 seats although I cant remember what my prediction was last month. Im struggling to not predict 40+ now though. I need a good election night, not September all over again. Expectations are getting too carried away for me to be comfortable. The day you say all will be well is the day I stop looking on the black side I am still sticking with about 20 seats. The thing is, that even with 40+ seats, I'm not sure what the SNP are going to do with them. Lib Dems got 57 last time and it hasn't done them any good. They went into a coalition with the Tories - that was never going to do them any good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
