AlfieMoon Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The day that SNP take Glasgow City Council from Labour will be a remarkable moment for the city. Then it'll be up to the SNP to step up and see what they can do for the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaid Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Labour had a lot of big guns - well what passes for big guns in Labour these days - campaigning on the streets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jie Bie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Were any of those wards SNP gains from Labour? Or were all those by-elections as a result of SNP councillors winning seats in May's election? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfieMoon Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Were any of those wards SNP gains from Labour? Or were all those by-elections as a result of SNP councillors winning seats in May's election? 4 SNP holds and 1 gain from Green, All wards had huge swings from Labour to SNP.

Auld_Reekie Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The day is coming where the SNP need to start delivering on this incredible support. IMO, they've stalled last couple of years and I'm happy to give Sturgeon til next year's elections to rework the policies behind the scenes, but I need to see the SNP doing something radical in Scotland rather than just managing the country. The day might come when the public support leaves the party and there's not a great deal to show for it thus far other than nearly winning independence. That's all great but they need to do better at their day job from next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld_Reekie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yep. Which is why I'll be voting Green on the list. SNP minority propped up by Greens my preferred result. Want to see Greens tested too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotlad Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hope the the greens have no influnce on the next scottish parliment, they couldnt run a bath, just because they supported independence does not merrit a vote IMO Outwith independence, they also have other good policies. Given they haven't had a real shot at government before, it is a bit unfair to say they couldn't run a bath. I am quite sure they could run a bath, in an ethical, eco-friendly way.

They also have the only leader in Scottish politics that I wouldn't feel the need to look out the window if they told me grass was green.
