Ally Bongo Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Louise has actually been quite favourable to the SNP in the last 3-4 months Probably anti Labour agenda right enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scunnered Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 A well kent SNP chap said to me about a month ago that Miss Black could turn out to be the next Margo, or the next Eric Joyce. I asked him how we'd know if she'd be gagged by the party. He smirked and walked away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just bizarre how this whole thread was gushing over Mhairi Black but one contary opinion gets jumped on by the National Socialists.

It's just bizarre how this whole thread was gushing over Mhairi Black but one contary opinion gets jumped on by the National Socialists. The SNP have 50 new MPs. They are not all getting the same amount of praise as Miss Black. That's partly because of her age. But it's mainly because a lot of folk think she just might have something special (whether she is good at spelling or not). Time will tell.

Toepoke Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Definitely reminds me of a young Margo MacDonald. Actually if the Paisley Daily Express is to be believed she was carrying Margo's old tartan scarf at the count.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Nationalists and socialists. A very dangerous combination that will lead to totalitarianism if taken too far. I'm not a unionist. I would have voted for independence if we actually looked at what made Scotland successful in the past and read a bit of Adam Smith. However too many yes voters seem to want some socialist paradise that will end in tears so that's why I voted no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However too many yes voters seem to want some socialist paradise that will end in tears so that's why I voted no. I don't think you know what socialism is. I don't get why people think the SNP are even close to a socialist party, other than as a slur which doesn't fit. And banging on about nationalism as if it's rife in Scotland shows a lack of understanding about what I suspect most people want.

Well in that case your an idiot as you could vote for whatever party you wanted post independence. All the no voters would have got a vote too you know. Also you know fine well that 'national socialists' that you have called everyone on here are better know as Nazis and that is exactly what you called us. You are backtracking now and not even man enough to admit your slur but try and change it into some other meaning.

iainmac1 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Yes, but most people would vote for socialistic parties and policies. Says who? Who are the socialist parties that have majorities in every Scottish election? Are you saying you are against independence becasue the Scottish people might get the parties and policies that the majority want? If you are that makes no sense as 55% voted no giving an indication that if we won the next referendum a majority would not support a socialist party. Also not all of the 45% were socialists, you had groups such as wealthy nation who were conservative leaning in their politics.

Ally Bongo Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Yes, but most people would vote for socialistic parties and policies. Which parties are those ? Please enlighten me (and Scunnered the TAMB's resident socialist) Both of us would like to know There is only one true socialist party in Scotland and that is the SSP and they dont exactly poll very well in elections If you mean social democratic then yes it's more than likely that Labour and the SNP would initially be the most polled parties in an Independent Scotland but they are both a million miles away from being socialist parties at the moment Edited May 10, 2015 by Ally Bongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even they believe socialism is obtainable in a capitalist led society. The communist party appear to be the only genuine socialist party active in Scotland* and they attracted just over 1,000 votes across 9 candidates Britain wide, further enforcing your point. * Not sure what SWP are up to these days.

I work for a US based oil industry corporation, in an office full of people whose job it is to maximise profit for said corporation.We can't claim to be anything other than capitalists, yet the vast majority of us are vocally pro - independence. The media did a very good job of portraying the average yes voter as some pie in the sky left wing loony, whereas in reality (just like the no voters) they come from all walks of life.

Hinging aboot TU rallies like a bad smell trying to flog their newspaper and covering up sexual assault allegations mostly. The SSP badly needs some sort of reboot. Hopefully, following their surge in membership, some talent will emerge from the ranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
