Strangly enough, when canvassing last month the Tories are above Labour here. The true Blue vote is going True Blue.. Interesting the Glasgow University Study a few years back had Rangers fans more likely to vote SNP, than Celtic fans (Labour, then SNP) Will try to did it out. The reason the Tories are above Labour is possibly down to competence. At least you know what you are voting for with the Tories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her speech during the same sex marriage debate is the most moving and honest I've seen in Holyrood. As for Scottish Labour, they are truly ####ed when a portion of their own members won't vote for them. The only reason I'm not drawing a massive veiny penis on my constituency vote is that I'm certain it would be taken as endorsement of Kenny Gibson. They will get my list vote as 2 good comrades are on the list, albeit a little too far down to be likely.

stocky Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Remember everyone loved auntie Annabelle as well at the last two elections. The Tories are Khunts, pure and simple, all the media massaging and 'likable' leaders dont change that. There is absolutely no evidence in my Constinuency that the tories are doing well. Remember UKIP will get around 4-5 % of teh vote, mostly ex tory, or Tory splitting the vote. IMO the Tory seats will not really move much Labour will lose 15-20 seats where these seats go is the interesting part. Green 10ish ( 2nd labour and SNP voters, Margos Vote etc Ukip 2ish ( hopefully not, however with the EU ref on. they are getting publicity) Tory 2ish ( cos everyone thinks Ruth aint a Khunt, but she is) SNP 3ish ( They are are currently polling higher in both votes than the final count in 2011) RISE 1 poss 2 i hope Cat Boyd gets in, in Glasgow and maybe Jean Urquart in the H and I , she has a big personal vote. Margo esque in places. Labour voters either wont vote, giving the Tories a higher percentage or they will give 1 vote to green However thats just my Opinion and its worth as much as the next guy. ps i think the Tories will win in Eastwood... FPTP... all the ex Murphy voters, areas like this and Murrays seat in Edinburgh vote tactically against the SNP...

They've been slipping back in the polls pretty consistently, the most recent sets of polls show them at 1% or so. There's also been a lot of internal bickering and complaints about Coburn as leader coming out which is generally a good sign of a party that is fighting a losing battle.

Top of the Pops as they say. I feel when choosing a list vote it's best to cover up the first 2 or 3 entrants. 8 minutes ago, Ally Bongo said: Christina is my MSP and she is fabulous - always there to help and take on any issue relevant to her position and if not to guide you on who can She's an arsehole and should be put in a room with every single redundancy from Scottish councils to explain why she's an arsehole. I don't think that was her only howler in recent times either, but it's slipped my mind what the other was. But yes, I've heard she's a very good constituency MSP, along the same lines as Neil Findlay, an arsehole, but a good MSP arsehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld_Reekie Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Have no problems with the Tories coming second. It continues to put Scottish Labour in their place and remind them - again - that they aren't even close to doing enough to earn a comeback. But it will also force Ruth Davidson to step up in Scottish politics, and she'll be found wanting IMO. A nice lass she may be but she's a still a Tory, and she's not nearly as good a politician as the Scottish media like to think she is - and certainly not as good a leader as Annabel Goldie was. I look forward to that uncomfortable truth being exposed in the next parliament if they come second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
